Dylan worked for a propane gas distributor as an accounting clerk in a small Midwestern town. Last winter, his brother Mike lost his job at the machine plant. By January, temperatures were sub-zero, and Mike had run out of money. Dylan saw that Mike’s account was overdue, and he knew Mike needed another delivery to heat his home. He decided to credit Mike’s account and debit the balance to the parts inventory because he knew the parts manager, the owner’s son, was incompetent and would never notice the extra entry. Months went by, and Dylan repeated the process until an auditor ran across the charges by chance. When the owner fired Dylan, he said, “If you had only come to me and told me about Mike’s situation, we could have worked something out.” Requirements What can a business like this do to prevent employee fraud of this kind? What effect would Dylan’s actions have on the balance sheet? The income statement? How much discretion does a business have with regard to accommodating…

Linda Malloy is a CPA with a passion for animals and volunteers 15 hours a week at an animal shelter. While she was originally asked to provide pro bono auditing help, these days she only provides hands-on care for abandoned and rescued puppies. One Saturday the shelter's director tells Linda that the puppies seem very agitated, and adds, "It's almost like they know what dire financial straits we are in right now and they are worried about landing back on the streets again."

Select one: As a CPA, Linda is not permitted to provide volunteer or pro bono services, so has made a per se violation of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct.

Has the worker a valid cause of action against Varney?
On July 15, Adler purchased in Chicago a Buick sedan, intending to drive it that day to St. Louis, Missouri. He telephoned a friend, Maruchek, who was in the insurance business, and told him that he wanted liability insurance on the automobile, limited in amount to $50,000 for injuries to one person and to $100,000 for any one accident.

Is Adler covered by liability insurance?

Charles wants to buy a pre-owned Harley-Davidson motorcycle and drops by several motorcycle dealerships before choosing to buy a good quality pre-owned, Softail model from Kenny’s Motorcycle Dealership. Kenny tells Charles that the motorcycle was manufactured in 2008 and had only done 12,000 kilometres. After using the motorcycle for four months, Charles had it serviced at an authorised Harley Davidson repair centre. He was told by the repairman that the motorcycle was in a good condition, considering that it was made in 2004. The repairman did admit that he was surprised that it had done only 12,000 kilometres; because it was clear that the motorcycle had travelled way more than that. Charles investigates further and finds out that the motorcycle was really made in 2004 and he paid about $4,000 more than what the motorcycle was really worth on the market. Charles wants to get a remedy against Pete’s Motorcycle Dealership. Explain to him his rights under contract law.
Flotilla Beam, the owner of the Bay City Boatyard, recently had a brilliant idea. There is a shortage of boat slips in the harbor during the summer. Beam’s idea is to develop a system of “dry slips.” A dry slip is a large storage rack in a warehouse on which a boat is stored. When the boat owner requests, a forklift is used to remove the boat from the dry slip and place the boat in the water. The entire operation requires one hour when a launch reservation is made in advance. The boatyard already has a vacant warehouse, which could be used for this purpose. However, Beam’s idea will require the following capital investment by the boatyard. • Storage racks: cost, $200,000; useful life, 18 years; MACRS class, 10-year property. • Forklift: cost, $120,000; useful life, six years; MACRS class, 5-year property. Bay City Boatyard’s tax rate is 35 percent, and its after-tax hurdle rate is 14 percent. Instructions: For each of the boatyard’s proposed capital investments: 1. Prepare a…
