Answer:
Audit Risk and Materiality
These two concepts have an inverse relationship. When the materiality level is set low, the audit risk envisaged by the auditor is on the high side. When the materiality level is set high, the audit risk as perceived by the auditor is on the low side.
But, what exactly is materiality? Materiality refers to the basis that can change or influence the judgment of a reasonable person arising from a quantitative and qualitative omission or misstatement of a fact. And audit risk refers to the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements presented by a company.
Explanation:
The risk of material misstatement in the financial statements is the reason that professional auditors design their audit procedures to reduce the audit risk to an acceptably low level. This implies that auditors gather more audit evidence when the materiality is set to a low level, showing that audit risk has increased and vice versa.
Moby Enterprises reports the following information for 2019. ($ numbers are totals for 2019, not per unit) Selling price per unit $800 Beginning and ending balances of Work in Process Inventory 0 Beginning balance of Finished Goods Inventory (50 units) $28,750 Units produced 90 Units sold 100 Direct material used (variable) $12,000 Direct labor used (variable) $28,000 Manufacturing overhead (variable) $4,550 Manufacturing overhead (fixed) $10,800 Selling and admn. expenses: sales commission (variable) $4,000 fixed $10,000 Notes: Moby uses FIFO for maintaining its finished goods inventory account. The Beginning Finished Goods Inventory balance of $28,750 consists of $24,250 in variable manufacturing costs and $4,500 of fixed manufacturing overhead. REQUIRED: Part 1. Compute the following for 2019 using absorption costing: a. Total Manufacturing Costs b. Cost-of-Goods-Manufactured c. Per unit cost of production d. Ending balance of Finished Goods Inventory (in units and dollars) e. Cost-of-goods sold f. Gross Margin g. Net Income Part 2. Identify clearly how the fixed manufacturing overhead (both that in the opening inventory and that incurred in 2019) has moved.
Answer:
Moby Enterprises
Part 1:
a. Total Manufacturing Costs:
Direct material used (variable) $12,000
Direct labor used (variable) $28,000
Manufacturing overhead (variable) $4,550
Manufacturing overhead (fixed) $10,800
Total manufacturing costs = $55,350
b. Cost-of-Goods-Manufactured:
Total manufacturing costs = $55,350
c. Per unit cost of production = $55,350/90 = $615
d. Ending balance of Finished Goods Inventory (in units and dollars)
Beginning inventory of finished goods = 50
Plus units produced 90
Less units sold (100)
Ending inventory of finished goods = 40 units
Cost of ending inventory of finished goods = $24,600 (40 * $615)
e. Cost-of-goods sold:
Beginning Finished Goods Inventory $28,750
Cost of goods manufactured 55,350
Less Ending Finished goods inventory (24,600)
Cost of goods sold = $59,500
f. Gross Margin:
Revenue ($800 * 100) = $80,000
Cost of goods sold = (59,500)
Gross Margin = $20,500
g. Net Income:
Gross Margin $20,500
Less expenses (14,000)
Net income = $6,500
Part 2. Identify clearly how the fixed manufacturing overhead (both that in the opening inventory and that incurred in 2019) has moved.
Fixed manufacturing overhead in Beginning Inventory = $4,500
= $90 per unit ($4,500/50)
Fixed manufacturing overhead in current period = $10,800
= $120 per unit ($10,800/90)
This shows that the per unit cost of fixed manufacturing overhead has increased from $90 to $120.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price per unit $800
Beginning and ending balances of Work in Process Inventory 0
Beginning balance of Finished Goods Inventory (50 units) $28,750
$24,250 in variable manufacturing costs and $4,500 of fixed manufacturing overhead
Units produced 90
Units sold 100
Ending Finished Goods Inventory = 40 units (50 + 90 = 100)
Direct material used (variable) $12,000
Direct labor used (variable) $28,000
Manufacturing overhead (variable) $4,550
Manufacturing overhead (fixed) $10,800
Selling and admin. expenses:
sales commission (variable) $4,000
fixed $10,000
