Dell Mfg currently mаnufаctures gidgets. The cоsts tо prоduce 5,000 gidgets lаst year were as follows: Cost per Gidget Direct Materials $12 Direct Labor 2 Variable Manufacturing Overhead 5 Fixed Manufacturing Overhead 7 Total $26 Doom Co. has offered to provide Dell with all of its Gidget needs for $27 per unit. There is no alternative use for this space, even if Dell accepts this offer. $15,000 of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be eliminated if Dell buys the units from Doom. Direct labor is an avoidable cost in this decision. Based on this information and assuming Dell would continue operating as the same level of activity as last year, would Dell be financially better off making their own Gidgets or buying the Gidgets from Doom and by how much in pretax operating income dollars?

Doug Dougles was the CFO for a medium-sized privately held manufacturer. But Doug was also addicted to cocaine, and his CFO salary was insufficient to cover the costs of his large habit. Knowing that he would receive a bonus if the company’s profits were high enough, Doug devised a scheme where he would intentionally understate expenses with a journal entry that shifts part of the administrative salaries from expenses to inventory (an asset). Doug knew that by fraudulently understating expenses in this way, profits would increase and he would be able to receive an undeserved cash bonus. This would allow him to use more cocaine. Doug could do this without the threat of being caught because he had access to the accounting records, and his approval was the only approval needed for unusual, manual journal entries. Additionally, because of the company’s size, they did not have many accounting professionals around to look for unusual journal entries. Although Doug knew that he was creating a false journal entry, he believed this action was justified because he’d helped the company to grow so much in recent years, and his salary had not increased much. The experience went well, so Doug repeated the process several more times. All went well for a time, until one of the owners began asking questions about the company’s rapid growth in inventory. A fraud investigation was requested, and Doug suddenly left town. The fraud investigators estimated that Doug inflated profits by around $2 million over the course of three years, resulting in Doug receiving around $150,000 of undeserved bonuses. First, which (of the three major) categories of occupational fraud does this fraud fall into? Who was hurt by this fraud? Who benefitted? Second, (a) name and (b) define each of the three elements of the fraud triangle. Then, (c) identify and explain where each of the three elements of the fraud triangle were present in this fraud case. Third, outside of generally stating “improve internal controls”, describe at least one specific action or policy that this company might have taken/implemented to reduce the risk of this fraud occurring?

In chapter 4 we discussed the agency problem. Answer each of the following questions about the agency problem, particularly as it relates to a business environment. Sam and Pete opened a specialty coffee shop in Saint Louis, Missouri. It was a big success, so they decided to open coffee shops in several other cities, including Kansas City. They hired Wendy to manage the shop in Kansas City, but due to Sam and Pete's travels they are unable to closely monitor Wendy's performance. Sam and Pete are considering two different sets of performance evaluation measures to use for evaluating Wendy. Sam would like to evaluate Wendy based on customer surveys about customer service and the cleanliness of the coffee shop. Pete would like to use the profits of the coffee shop in Kansas City to evaluate Wendy. The accounting information used to compute the Kansas City store’s profits is provided by that store’s accounting system. a. For each of the two performance evaluation measures (from above), (1) identify and explain how the measure motivates Wendy (in other words, what is she motivated to do when evaluated by that specific performance evaluation metric) and (2) at least one action that Wendy can take to make the performance evaluation metric look better while also hurting the company. b. For each of your two responses to question a2 (from above), identify and explain one way that Sam and Pete can control Wendy’s desire and/or ability to optimize the performance evaluation metric while also hurting the company.
