Paper For Above instruction

The management of Proli Footwear Company faces several significant accounting and auditing considerations related to Property, Plant, and Equipment (PP&E), asset disposals, repairs and maintenance expenses, lease classifications, and depreciation accounting. This comprehensive discussion aims to analyze and establish appropriate journal entries, estimation methods, audit procedures, and disclosures to ensure accurate financial reporting aligned with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Analysis of Long-Lived Asset Disposals and Recording of Gains or Losses

The disposal of long-lived assets involves recognizing the sale, derecognizing the asset's book value, and recording any gains or losses. For example, the sale of manufacturing and warehouse equipment in December 2014 requires analyzing the sale proceeds against the asset's net book value. Based on the trial balance and audit adjustments, the sale of a type E manufacturing machine generated a cash receipt of a specified amount, while the sale of certain warehouse equipment resulted in a different monetary figure. The gains or losses are calculated as the difference between cash received and the asset's net book value (cost minus accumulated depreciation).

An illustrative journal entry for the sale of equipment would include:

Debit: Cash (with actual sale amount)


Debit: Accumulated Depreciation (to remove accumulated depreciation)


Credit: Equipment (original cost)


Credit: Gain on Sale (if sale exceeds net book value) or Debit: Loss on Sale (if net book value exceeds sale proceeds)

For example, if the sale price exceeds the net book value, a gain is recognized; otherwise, a loss is recorded. These entries ensure that financial statements accurately reflect profit or loss from asset disposals.

Adjusting Repairs and Maintenance Expenses

In the analysis of repairs and maintenance, expenses are accrued based on the detailed monthly or periodic expenditures. For example, janitorial services at $8,250 per month and trash removal at $23,000 per month are accrued accordingly. The analysis also accounts for expenses such as painting, roof repairs, rain-damage fixes, plumbing, and repairs to machinery, totaling over $900,000.

Adjusting entries are necessary to record accrued expenses not yet paid or billed as of December 31, 2014. For example:

Debit: Repairs and Maintenance Expense


Credit: Accrued Expenses (liability)

This accrual ensures expenses match the period they relate to and that liabilities are properly reported on the balance sheet.

Sample Size Determination for Substantive Testing of PP&E

Efficiently auditing PP&E involves determining an appropriate sample size using a formal nonstatistical sampling plan. The methodology considers tolerable misstatement, the overall risk of material misstatement, and the implied detection risk. In this case, the tolerable misstatement is based on a threshold of one-third of the tolerable misstatement for each account, with an assumed moderate other procedures risk factor of 60%.

The sample size calculation involves dividing untested items by the testing threshold, scaled by the risk factor. For example, if the total number of items is 217, and the age and cost data are considered, an auditor applies the formula:

Sample size = (Number of untested items / Testing threshold) × Other Procedures Risk Factor

This ensures sufficient coverage to detect significant misstatements, considering the inherent audit risk.

Lease Classification and Journal Entries

Leases are classified as either capital or operating based on ownership risk, lease term, and transfer of rights. Assuming, as per the client’s classification, the leases are correctly categorized, journal entries for lease obligations involve recognizing right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities. The present value of lease payments forms the lease liability, and the initial recognition involves:

Debit: Right-of-Use Asset


Credit: Lease Liability

Subsequently, periodic depreciation of the right-of-use asset and interest expense on lease liabilities are recorded. For example, depreciation of leased buildings is calculated on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and lease payments reduce the liability accordingly.

Depreciation of Property, Plant, and Equipment

Depreciation schedules are prepared based on the estimated useful lives and salvage values. For instance, buildings are depreciated over 35 years, with accumulated depreciation tracked annually. Adjustments to depreciation expenses are made based on auditor balances, which may reveal discrepancies between book and audited balances. For example, correction entries reconcile differences and are recorded as follows:

Debit or Credit: Depreciation Expense


Credit or Debit: Accumulated Depreciation

This process ensures depreciation expense accurately reflects asset utilization, and the net book values are correctly stated on financial statements.

Summary and Impact on Net Income

The detailed analysis indicates that implementing these entries and adjustments impacts the company's net income before taxes. Recognized gains or losses from asset disposals, accumulated depreciation corrections, accruals for expenses, and lease-related depreciation collectively influence the profit figure. Precise journal entries and schedule adjustments are essential to uphold the integrity of the financial statements, providing stakeholders with an accurate view of the company's financial position and performance.

Conclusion

Conclusively, the management of Proli Footwear must ensure comprehensive and accurate recording of transactions related to property, plant, and equipment. This includes precise disposal entries, proper expense accruals, accurate depreciation calculations, and correct lease classification and recording. Regular reconciliation of schedules and balances, along with appropriate sample testing, underpins the reliability of financial reporting and compliance with GAAP.
