Kiefer%20Sports%20Equipment%20Case.pdf Kiefer Sports Equipment Company Accounting/Auditing Issues Case On February 20, 20X8 you are well into the field work of the 12/31/20X7 audit and the following issues have arisen during the audit of Kiefer Sports Equipment Company (KSEC.) 1. Service revenue 2. Account receivable from officers 3. Prepaid advertising 4. Alan Summit Company receivable 5. Inventory 6. "Bring Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day" litigation Kate Kiefer the president of KSEC wants you to present your position on each of these issues as she would like your judgment as to "good GAAP" numbers. But, she has also pointed out that she understands that GAAP often does not provide a precise answer, and in such cases, she would rather error on the side of maintaining income rather than being "an overly pessimistic doomsayer." The attitude of Board of Directors members is consistent with that of Kate. Prepare a memo that summarizes relevant professional standards (standard and paragraph should be cited) related to each of the 6 issues and prepare any proposed journal entries. Discuss information that would be included in any note disclosures related to each of the six items (you need not draft formal note disclosures). Prepare entries for all misstatements you identify regardless of the amount involved. That is, don't simply say no entry is needed because any amount involved would be immaterial. Assume that the current income is $1,323,839. For purposes of preparing journal entries, you may ignore income tax implications as any changes in taxes will be reflected later in the audit process after any entries have been posted to the working trial balance. Summarize the income effects (before taxes) of any entries that you propose on a schedule such as the following (make clear over and understatements of income): Income Effect 1. Unearned service revenue 2. Account receivable from officers 3. Prepaid advertising 4. Alan Summit Company receivable 5. Inventory 6. "Bring your Daughters and Sons to Work Day" litigation ORL e 9 Issue 5: Inventory Included in KSEC's inventory (valued using the LIFO method) are the following: $100.000 (cost) of sports equipment which manufacturers ceased producing in the middle of 20x7. Although the wholesale value of the sports equipment now is only about $60,000, the retail value (if they could all be sold today, which they can't be) is approximately $110,000. The selling costs of these specific equipment are considered negligible, and a normal profit margin is approximately 25% of sales price. The retail market is "thin" and it will take some time to sell the equipment Management intends to sell all of the equipment at retail and believes that the retail value of the equipment is likely to decrease at an average rie of 5 percent every quarter for the next year, thus, on average equipment with a retail value of $1,000 on 12/31/X3 would have an average retail value of $950 and $900 during the first two quarters of 20X8, respectively. Management believes that the equipment will be sold within the next year as follows--first quarter 40% of inventory, second quarter 35%, third quarter 20 %, and fourth quarter 5% at market values at the time of sale. These projections seem reasonable. It is currently February 15 and you note that sales are right on schedule and that retail prices have dropped a bit from year-end, as projected. Because of discontinuance of the above equipment, many suppliers of parts for the equipment have chosen to quit manufacturing the items with the result that shortages are occurring. As a result, KSEC's $50,000 inventory of parts for these machines has increased in value and would now cost $65,000 to replace (ils retail value is $110,000). Historically, the normal profit margin on sales of parts is 40% of sales price. Also, management has pointed out to you that equipment in inventory that don't sell could be used for parts. But management does not anticipate the need to do this. Historically, KSEC (and competitors) have in general separated Equipment from Parts when calculating the lower of cost or market for inventory. Does KSEC need to record an inventory write down to reflect a lower of cost or market value? If so, how much? Grading Criteriai x Kiefer Sports E x C Issue 4: Uneannes | C issue.
