Chapter 5, Problem 5.1FC
Rae Philippe was a warehouse manager for Atkins Oilfield Supply, a business that operated across eight Western states. She was an old pro and had known most of the other warehouse managers for many years. Around December each year, auditors would come to do a physical count of the inventory at each warehouse. Recently, Rae’s brother started his own drilling company and persuaded Rae to “loan” him 80 joints of 5-inch drill pipe to use for his first well. He promised to have it back to Rae by December, but the well encountered problems and the pipe was still in the ground. Rae knew the auditors were on the way, so she called her friend Andy, who ran another Atkins warehouse. “Send me over 80 joints of 5-inch pipe tomorrow, and I’ll get them back to you ASAP,” said Rae. When the auditors came, all the pipe on the books was accounted for, and they filed a “no-exception” report.
Requirements
- 1. Is there anything the company or the auditors could do in the future to detect this kind of fraudulent practice?
- 2. How would this kind of action affect the financial performance of the company?

After working for years as a regional manager for a retail organization, Scott Parry opened his own business with Susan Gonzalez, one of his district managers, as his partner. They formed S&S to sell appliances and consumer electronics. Scott and Susan pursued a “clicks and bricks” strategy by renting a building in a busy part of town and adding an electronic storefront. Scott and Susan invested enough money to see them through the first six months. They will hire 15 employees within the next two weeks – three to stock the shelves, four sales representatives, six checkout clerks, and two to develop and maintain the electronic storefront. Scott and Susan will host S&S’s grand opening in five weeks. To meet that deadline, they have to address the following important issues:
16. What business processes are needed, and how should they be carried out?
17. What functionality should be provided on the website?
How Is He Doing?
Ted Mohr had worked as a mid-level manager for a large retail chain with a regional headquarters in Fairfield County, Connecticut. For over fifteen years he had commuted on I95, and worried that too much of his family time was spent in traffic jams. Two years ago he acted on one of his dreams and relocated to New Hampshire to open a restaurant and novelty shop. The shop had been in its current location for over twelve years and had achieved a reputation for service and a wide range of tourist novelties. Ted ran the operations of the store, and his wife handled all the office and administrative functions. In the past year he had withdrawn $35,000 from the business for living expenses. During next year’s slow season he hoped that he and his wife would be able to take at least four weeks as a vacation.

They want to start doing snow removal during the winter season because they practically don't have any yards to maintain. The twins are trying to determine how much equipment they need to purchase. The twins plan to do most of the work themselves and then hire some part-time workers on an individual job basis to help out. The twins gathered some data on past weather. Based on the information, they predict that there will be six big snowstorms in the coming winter. Most of their clients want the snow removed no more than two days after the snow stops falling. If the twins work for 10 hours a day, they can remove the snow from the driveway of a home in about 1 hour. However, for commercial parking lots and public sidewalks, it will take 4 hours. The variable cost per job is $12 for home driveways and $47 for commercial parking lots. The twins estimated that they will have no more than 40 homeowners and 25 businesses who would like…arrow_forwardMary 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…arrow_forward
