Kruger Designs hired a consulting firm 3 months ago to redesign the information system that the architects use. The architects will be able to use state-of-the-art computer- aided design (CAD) programs to help in designing the products. Further, they will be able to store these designs on a network server where they and other architects may be able to call them back up for future designs with similar components. The consulting firm has been instructed to develop the system without disrupting the architects. In fact, top management believes that the best route is to develop the system and then to introduce it to the architects during a training session. Management does not want the architects to spend precious billable hours guessing about the new system or putting work off until the new system is working. Thus, the consultants are operating in a back room under a shroud of secrecy.
Required
a. Do you think that management is taking the best course of action for the announcement of the new system? Why?
b. Do you approve of the development process? Why?

Kando Company incurs a $9 per unit cost for Product A, which it currently manufactures and sells for $13.50 per unit. Instead of manufacturing and selling this product, the company can purchase Product B for $5 per unit and sell it for $12 per unit. If it does so, unit would remain unchanged and $5 of the $9 per unit costs assigned to Product A would be eliminated. Should the company continue to manufacture Product A or purchase Product B for resale?

(Objective 16-2) List five analytical procedures for the sales and collection cycle. For each test, describe a misstatement that could be identified.
(Objective 16-2)
Design and Perform Analytical Procedures (Phase III)
As discussed in Chapter 8, analytical procedures are often done during three phases of the audit: during planning, when performing detailed tests, and as a part of completing the audit. This chapter covers planning analytical procedures and substantive analytical procedures done when performing detailed tests for accounts in the sales and collection cycle. Most analytical procedures performed during the detailed testing phase are done after the balance sheet date but before tests of details of balances. It makes little sense to perform extensive analytical procedures before the client has recorded all transactions for the year and finalized the financial statements. Auditors perform analytical procedures for the entire sales and collection cycle, not just accounts receivable. This is necessary because of the close relationship between income statement and balance sheet accounts. If the auditor identifies a possible misstatement in sales or sales returns and allowances using analytical procedures, accounts receivable will likely be the offsetting misstatement. Table 16-1 (p. 524) presents examples of ratios and comparisons for the sales and collection cycle and potential misstatements that analytical procedures may uncover. When analytical procedures in the sales and collection cycle uncover unusual fluctuations, however, the auditor should make additional inquiries of management. Management’s responses should be critically evaluated to determine whether they adequately explain the unusual fluctuations and whether they are supported by corroborating evidence. The appropriate tests of details of balances depend on the factors listed in the evidence planning worksheet in Figure 16-7. Planned detection risk for each accounts receivable balance-related audit objective is shown in the second row from the bottom. It is a subjective decision made by auditors after they have combined the conclusions reached about each of the factors listed above that row. The task of combining the factors that determine planned detection risk is complex because the measurement for each factor is imprecise and the appropriate weight given to each factor is highly subjective. Conversely, the relationship between each factor and planned detection risk is well established. For example, auditors know that a high inherent risk or control risk decreases planned detection risk and increases planned substantive tests, whereas good results of substantive tests of transactions increase planned detection risk and decrease other planned substantive tests. The bottom row in Figure 16-7 (p. 539) shows the planned audit evidence for tests of details of balances for accounts receivable by objective. As we’ve discussed, planned audit evidence is the inverse of planned detection risk. After deciding whether planned audit evidence for a given objective is high, medium, or low, the auditor must then decide on the appropriate audit procedures, sample size, items to select, and timing. For the remainder of this chapter, we will discuss how auditors decide on the specific audit procedures and their timing for auditing accounts receivable. In Chapter 17, we’ll address sample size and selecting items from the population for testing.
