Mary Tan is the controller for Duck Associates, a property management company in Portland, Oregon. Each year, Tan and payroll clerk Toby Stock meet with the external auditors about payroll accounting. This year, the auditors suggest that Tan consider outsourcing Duck Associates’ payroll accounting to a company specializing in payroll processing services. This would allow Tan and her staff to focus on their primary responsibility: accounting for the properties under management. At present, payroll requires 1.5 employee positions: payroll clerk Toby Stock and a bookkeeper who spends half her time entering payroll data in the system.
Tan considers this suggestion, and she lists the following items relating to outsourcing payroll accounting:
a. The current payroll software that was purchased for $4,000 three years ago would not be needed if payroll processing were outsourced.
b. Duck Associates’ bookkeeper would spend half her time preparing the weekly payroll input form that is…
During their senior year at Clarkson College, two business students, Gerry Keating and Louise Lamont, began a part-time business
making personal computers. They bought the various components from a local supplier and assembled the machines in the basement
of a friend's house. Their only cost was $363 for parts; they sold each computer for $638. They were able to make three machines per
week and to sell them to fellow students. The activity was appropriately called Keating & Lamont Computers (KLC). The product quality
was good, and as graduation approached, orders were coming in much faster than KLC could fill them.
A national CPA firm made Ms. Lamont an attractive offer of employment, and a large electronics company was ready to hire Mr.
Keating. Students and faculty at Clarkson College, however, encouraged the two to make KLC a full-time venture. The college
administration had decided to require all students in the schools of business and engineering to buy their own computers…
