Chapter 1-22 All Solved Includes All Quizzes for ACC 564
Chapter 1
1.1      The value of information is the difference between the benefits realized from using that information and the costs of producing it.  Would you, or any organization, ever produce information if its expected costs exceeded its benefits?  If so, provide some examples.  If not, why not?
1.2      Can the characteristics of useful information listed in Table 1-1 be met simultaneously?  Or does achieving one mean sacrificing another?

CHAPTER 4
RELATIONAL DATABASES
4.1 Contrast the logical and the physical view of data and discuss why separate views are necessary in database applications.  Describe which perspective is most useful for each of the following employees: a programmer, a manager, and an internal auditor.  How will understanding logical data structures assist you when designing and using database systems?</para></question><question id=”ch04ques02″ label=”4.2″>
4.2 The relational data model represents data as being stored in tables.  Spreadsheets are another tool that accountants use to employ a tabular representation of data.  What are some similarities and differences in the way these tools use tables?  How might an accountant’s familiarity with the tabular representation of spreadsheets facilitate or hinder learning how to use a relational DBMS?
4.3      Some people believe database technology may eliminate the need for double-entry accounting.  This creates three possibilities: (1) the double-entry model will be abandoned; (2) the double-entry model will not be used directly, but an external-level schema based on the double-entry model will be defined for accountants’ use; or (3) the double-entry model will be retained in database systems.  Which alternative do you think is most likely to occur?  Why?
4.4      Relational DBMS query languages provide easy access to information about the organization’s activities.  Does this mean that online, real-time processing should be used for all transactions?  Does an organization need real-time financial reports?  Why or why not?</para></question></general-problem></problemset>
4.5 Why is it so important to have good data?
4.6    What is a data dictionary, what does it contain, and how is it used?

4.7 Compare and contrast the file-oriented approach and the database approach.  Explain the main advantages of database systems.

4.1
a.        Identify three potential users and design a subschema for each.  Justify your design by explaining why each user needs access to the subschema data elements.
b.        Use Microsoft Access or some other relational database product to create the schema tables.  Specify the primary key(s), foreign key(s), and other data for each table.  Test your model by entering sample data in each table.


4.2 Most DBMS packages contain data definition, data manipulation, and data query languages.  For each of the following, indicate which language would be used and why.
  1. A database administrator defines the logical structure of the database
b.        The controller requests a cost accounting report containing a list of all employees being paid for more than 10 hours overtime in a given week.
c.         A programmer develops a program to update the fixed-assets records stored in the database.
d.        The human resources manager requests a report noting all employees who are retiring within five years.
e.        The inventory serial number field is extended in the inventory records to allow for recognition of additional inventory items with serial numbers containing more than 10 digits.
f.         A user develops a program to print out all purchases made during the past two weeks.
g.        An additional field is added to the fixed-asset records to record the estimated salvage value of each asset.
4.3          Ashton wants to store the following data about S&S’s purchases of inventory:
  1. a. Design a set of relational tables to store this data.  Do all of the data items need to be stored in a table?  If not, which ones do not need to be stored and why do they not need to be stored?
  2. b. Identify the primary key for each table.
  3. c. Identify the foreign keys needed in the tables to implement referential integrity.
  1. d. Implement your tables using any relational database product to which you have access.
  2. e. Test your specification by entering sample data in each table.
  3. f. Create a few queries to retrieve or analyze the data you stored.
4.4 Retrieve the S&S In-Chapter Database (in Microsoft Access format) from the text’s Web site (or create the tables in <link linkend=”ch04table05″ preference=”0″>Table 4-5<xref linkend=”ch04table05″ label=”4-5″/></link> in a relational DBMS product).  Write queries to answer the following questions.  <emphasis>Note</emphasis>: For some questions, you may have to create two queries—one to calculate an invoice total and the second to answer the question asked.
  1. a. How many different kinds of inventory items does S&S sell?
  1. b. How many sales were made during October?
c.      What were total sales in October?

d.      What was the average amount of a sales transaction?
e.        Which salesperson made the largest sale?
f.         How many units of each product were sold?

CHAPTER 5

COMPUTER FRAUD
5.1 Do you agree that the most effective way to obtain adequate system security is to rely on the integrity of company employees? Why or why not? Does this seem ironic? What should a company do to ensure the integrity of its employees?
5.2 You are the president of a multinational company where an executive confessed to kiting $100,000.  What is kiting and what can your company do to prevent it? How would you respond to the confession?  What issues must you consider before pressing charges?
5.3 Discuss the following statement by Roswell Steffen, a convicted embezzler: “For every foolproof system, there is a method for beating it.”  Do you believe a completely secure computer system is possible?  Explain.  If internal controls are less than 100% effective, why should they be employed at all?
5.4 Revlon hired Logisticon to install a real-time invoice and inventory processing system.  Seven months later, when the system crashed, Revlon blamed the Logisticon programming bugs they discovered and withheld payment on the contract.  Logisticon contended that the software was fine and that it was the hardware that was faulty.  When Revlon again refused payment, Logisticon repossessed the software using a telephone dial-in feature to disable the software and render the system unusable.  After a three-day standoff, Logisticon reactivated the system.  Revlon sued Logisticon, charging them with trespassing, breach of contract, and misappropriation of trade secrets (Revlon passwords).  Logisticon countersued for breach of contract. The companies settled out of court.

Would Logisticon’s actions be classified as sabotage or repossession? Why?  Would you find the company guilty of committing a computer crime?  Be prepared to defend your position to the class.
5.5      Because improved computer security measures sometimes create a new set of problems—user antagonism, sluggish response time, and hampered performance—some people believe the most effective computer security is educating users about good moral conduct.  Richard Stallman, a computer activist, believes software licensing is antisocial because it prohibits the growth of technology by keeping information away from the neighbors.  He believes high school and college students should have unlimited access to computers without security measures so that they can learn constructive and civilized behavior.  He states that a protected system is a puzzle and, because it is human nature to solve puzzles, eliminating computer security so that there is no temptation to break in would reduce hacking.

<para>Do you agree that software licensing is antisocial?  Is ethical teaching the solution to computer security problems?  Would the removal of computer security measures reduce the incidence of computer fraud?  Why or why not?
5.1 You were asked to investigate extremely high, unexplained merchandise shortages at a department store chain.  Classify each of the five situations as a fraudulent act, an indicator of fraud, or an event unrelated to the investigation. Justify your answers.
a.        The receiving department supervisor owns and operates a boutique carrying many of the same labels as the chain store. The general manager is unaware of the ownership interest.
b.        The receiving supervisor signs receiving reports showing that the total quantity shipped by a supplier was received and then diverts 5% to 10% of each shipment to the boutique.
c.         The store is unaware of the short shipments because the receiving report accompanying the merchandise to the sales areas shows that everything was received.
d.        Accounts Payable paid vendors for the total quantity shown on the receiving report.
e.        Based on the receiving department supervisor’s instructions, quantities on the receiving reports were not counted by sales personnel.
5.2      A client heard through its hot line that John, the purchases journal clerk, periodically enters fictitious acquisitions.  After John creates a fictitious purchase, he notifies Alice, the accounts payable ledger clerk, so she can enter them in her ledger.  When the payables are processed, the payment is mailed to the nonexistent supplier’s address, a post office box rented by John.  John deposits the check in an account he opened in the nonexistent supplier’s name.
a.        Define fraud, fraud deterrence, fraud detection, and fraud investigation.
  1. a. List four personal (as opposed to organizational) fraud symptoms, or red-flags, that indicate the possibility of fraud.</para></listitem> Do not confine your answer to this example.
  1. b. List two procedures you could follow to uncover John’s fraudulent behavior.

5.3 The computer frauds that are publicly revealed represent only the tip of the iceberg.  Although many people perceive that the major threat to computer security is external, the more dangerous threats come from insiders. Management must recognize these problems and develop and enforce security programs to deal with the many types of computer fraud.
Explain how each of the following six types of fraud is committed. Using the format provided, also identify a different method of protection for each and describe how it works
5.4      Environmental, institutional, or individual pressures and opportune situations, which are present to some degree in all companies, motivate individuals and companies to engage in fraudulent financial reporting. Fraud prevention and detection require that pressures and opportunities be identified and evaluated in terms of the risks they pose to a company. Adapted from the CMA Examination.
  1. a. Identify two company pressures that would increase the likelihood of fraudulent financial reporting.
  2. b. Identify three corporate opportunities that make fraud easier to commit and detection less likely.
  1. c. For each of the following, identify the external environmental factors that should be considered in assessing the risk of fraudulent financial reporting

  • · The company’s industry

  • · The company’s business environment

  • · The company’s legal and regulatory environment

  1. d. What can top management do to reduce the possibility of fraudulent financial reporting?
5.5 For each of the following independent cases of employee fraud, recommend how to prevent similar problems in the future.
  1. a. Due to abnormal inventory shrinkage in the audiovisual department at a retail chain store, internal auditors conducted an in-depth audit of the department.  They learned that a customer frequently bought large numbers of small electronic components from a certain cashier. The auditors discovered that they had colluded to steal electronic components by not recording the sale of items the customer took from the store.
b.    During an unannounced audit, auditors discovered a payroll fraud when they distributed paychecks instead of department supervisors.  When the auditors investigated an unclaimed paycheck, they discovered that the employee quit four months previously after arguing with the supervisor. The supervisor continued to turn in a time card for the employee and pocketed his check.
  1. c. Auditors discovered an accounts payable clerk who made copies of supporting documents and used them to support duplicate supplier payments. The clerk deposited the duplicate checks in a bank account she had opened using a name similar to the supplier’s.</para></listitem></orderedlist><source>
5.6 An auditor found that Rent-A-Wreck management does not always comply with its stated policy that sealed bids be used to sell obsolete cars. Records indicated that several vehicles with recent major repairs were sold at negotiated prices. Management vigorously assured the auditor that performing limited repairs and negotiating with knowledgeable buyers resulted in better sales prices than the sealed-bid procedures. Further investigation revealed that the vehicles were sold to employees at prices well below market value. Three managers and five other employees pleaded guilty to criminal charges and made restitution.
a.        List the fraud symptoms that should have aroused the auditor’s suspicion.
b.        What audit procedures would show that fraud had in fact occurred.
5.7 A bank auditor met with the senior operations manager to discuss a customer’s complaint that an auto loan payment was not credited on time.  The customer said the payment was made on May 5, its due date, at a teller’s window using a check drawn on an account in the bank.  On May 10, when the customer called for a loan pay-off balance so he could sell the car, he learned that the payment had not been credited to the loan.  On May 12, the customer went to the bank to inquire about the payment and meet with the manager.  The manager said the payment had been made on May 11.  The customer was satisfied because no late charge would have been assessed until May 15.  The manager asked whether the auditor was comfortable with this situation.

The auditor located the customer’s paid check and found that it had cleared on May 5.   The auditor traced the item back through the computer records and found that the teller had processed the check as being cashed.  The auditor traced the payment through the entry records of May 11 and found that the payment had been made with cash instead of a check.

What type of embezzlement scheme does this appear to be, and how does that scheme operate?

5.8 AICPA adapted
a.      Prepare a schedule showing how much the cashier embezzled.

  1. a. Describe how the cashier attempted to hide the theft.

5.9      An accountant with the Atlanta Olympic Games was charged with embezzling over $60,000 to purchase a Mercedes-Benz and to invest in a certificate of deposit. Police alleged that he created fictitious invoices from two companies that had contracts with the Olympic Committee: International Protection Consulting and Languages Services. He then wrote checks to pay the fictitious invoices and deposited them into a bank account he had opened under the name of one of the companies. When he was apprehended, he cooperated with police to the extent of telling them of the bogus bank account and the purchase of the Mercedes-Benz and the CD. The accountant was a recent honors graduate from a respected university who, supervisors stated, was a very trusted and loyal employee.

  1. a. How does the accountant fit the profile of a fraudster?
How does he not fit the profile?
  1. b. What fraud scheme did he use to perpetrate his fraud?
  2. c. What controls could have prevented his fraud?
  3. d. What controls could have detected his fraud?

5.10 Lexsteel, a manufacturer of steel furniture, has facilities throughout the United States.  Problems with the accounts payable system have prompted Lexsteel’s external auditor to recommend a detailed study to determine the company’s exposure to fraud and to identify ways to improve internal control. Lexsteel’s controller assigned the study to Dolores Smith. She interviewed Accounts Payable employees and created the flowchart of the current system shown in Figure 5-3.

Lexsteel’s purchasing, production control, accounts payable, and cash disbursements functions are centralized at corporate headquarters. The company mainframe at corporate headquarters is linked to the computers at each branch location by leased telephone lines.

The mainframe generates production orders and the bills of material needed for the production runs. From the bills of material, purchase orders for raw materials are generated and e-mailed to vendors. Each purchase order tells the vendor which manufacturing plant to ship the materials to. When the raw materials arrive, the manufacturing plants produce the items on the production orders received from corporate headquarters.

The manufacturing plant checks the goods received for quality, counts them, reconciles the count to the packing slip, and e-mails the receiving data to Accounts Payable. If raw material deliveries fall behind production, each branch manager can send emergency purchase orders directly to vendors. Emergency order data and verification of materials received are e-mailed to Accounts Payable. Since the company employs a computerized perpetual inventory system, periodic physical counts of raw materials are not performed.

Vendor invoices are e-mailed to headquarters and entered by Accounts Payable when received. This often occurs before the branch offices transmit the receiving data. Payments are due 10 days after the company receives the invoices. Using information on the invoice, Data Entry calculates the final day the invoice can be paid, and it is entered as the payment due date.

Once a week, invoices due the following week are printed in chronological entry order on a payment listing, and the corresponding checks are drawn. The checks and payment listing are sent to the treasurer’s office for signature and mailing to the payee. The check number is printed by the computer, displayed on the check and the payment listing, and validated as the checks are signed. After the checks are mailed, the payment listing is returned to Accounts Payable for filing. When there is insufficient cash to pay all the invoices, the treasurer retains certain checks and the payment listing until all checks can be paid. When the remaining checks are mailed, the listing is then returned to Accounts Payable. Often, weekly check mailings include a few checks from the previous week, but rarely are there more than two weekly listings involved.

When Accounts Payable receives the payment listing from the treasurer’s office, the expenses are distributed, coded, and posted to the appropriate cost center accounts.  Accounts Payable processes weekly summary performance reports for each cost center and branch location. Adapted from the CMA Examination

Kale Thompson, an auditor with Sneed CPAs, is performing a review of Strawser Company's inventory account. Strawser did not have a good year and top management is under pressure to boost reported income. According to its records, the inventory balance at year-end was $740,000. However, the following information was not considered when determining that amount.

Instructions

Determine the correct inventory amount. (If answer is zero, please enter 0. Do not leave any fields blank. If amount has a negative effect, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45).)

Ending inventory-as reported.

$
1. Included in the company's count were goods with a cost of $250,000 that the company is holding on consignment. The goods belong to Superior Corporation.

2. The physical count did not include goods purchased by Strawser with a cost of $40,000 that were shipped FOB destination on December 28 and did not arrive at Strawser's warehouse until January 3.

3. Included in the inventory account was $17,000 of office supplies that were stored in the warehouse and were to be used by the company's supervisors and managers during the coming year.

4. The company received an order on December 29 that was boxed and was sitting on the loading dock awaiting pick-up on December 31. The shipper picked up the goods on January 1 and delivered them on January 6. The shipping terms were FOB shipping point. The goods had a selling price of $40,000 and a cost of $30,000.The goods were not included in the count because they were sitting on the dock.

5. On December 29 Strawser shipped goods with a selling price of $80,000 and a cost of $60,000 to District Sales Corporation FOB shipping point. The goods arrived on January 3. District Sales had only ordered goods with a selling price of $10,000 and a cost of $8,000. However, a sales manager at Strawser had authorized the shipment and said that if District wanted to ship the goods back next week, it could.

6. Included in the count was $40,000 of goods that were parts for a machine that the company no longer made. Given the high-tech nature of Strawser's products, it was unlikely that these obsolete parts had any other use. However, management would prefer to keep them on the books at cost, "since that is what we paid for them, after all."

For each transaction, indicate why Quick disagrees. Identify the accounting principle or assumption that Scott would be violating if his suggestions were used. Prepare the correct journal entry for each transaction, if any.
1. Scott suggests that equipment should be reported on the balance sheet at its liquidation value, which is $15,000 less than its cost.
2. Millenium bought a custom-made piece of equipment for $36,000. This equipment has a useful life of 6 years. Millenium depreciates equipment using the straight-line method. "Since the equipment is custom-made, it will have no resale value. Therefore, it shouldn't be depreciated but instead should be expensed immediately," argues Scott. "Besides, it provides for lower net income."
3. Depreciation for the year was $18,000. Since net income is expected to be lower this year, Scott suggests deferring depreciation to a year when there is more net income.
4. Land costing $60,000 was appraised at $90,000. Scott suggests the following journal entry.
5. Millenium purchased equipment for $35,000 at a going-out-of-business sale. The equipment was worth $45,000. Scott believes that the following entry should be made.
