Ans. Opportunity Cost: 03
The value of the next best alternative which is sacrificed to attain something is called
1.(a)
opportunity cost. i.e. cost of next best alternative forgone.

Examples:
(i) The opportunity cost of buying a car, is what else that money could have bought.

(ii) The opportunity cost of deciding not to work, is the forgone wages that could have
been earned.

(b) Applications of Opportunity Cost to Households , Firms and Government: 07


Opportunity costs can be applied to all of the agents that we have discussed so far in a
number of different ways.

Households:
Households are the collective group of individuals not only consuming goods and
services, but also providing labor for firms. The opportunity cost for households is the
satisfaction foregone by consuming Good A rather than spending the money on Good
“B”.

Firms:
Firms are the collective group of organizations producing goods and services in an
economy. The Opportunity cost of firms is the revenue foregone by using productive
resources to supply Good “A” rather than using them to supply Good “B”.

Governments
The opportunity cost is the social needs forgone by using resources to provide Service
“A” (e.g. education) rather than Service “B” (e.g. health).

Ans. Indifference Curve: Accountants
It is a curve that shows the different combinations of two goods which give the same
06
3.(a)
level of satisfaction.

Reason of Convexity of IC
In this instance, convexity means being bowed to the origin. The shape of the curve
has to do with how much of one good does a consumer want to exchange for another
in order to maintain the same level of utility. Suppose a consumer has a high level of
Good A, and a low level of Good B. In order to reduce his consumption of Good B,
and maintain the same utility, he would need to consume even more units of Good A.
This is why Indifference Curves are convex to the origin.

(b) Budget of Mr. Javed=100 04


Price of X= Rs.20 per unit
Price of Y= Rs.10 per unit
The maximum of X which Mr. Javed can purchase = = 100/20 = 05 units

The maximum of Y which Mr. Javed can purchase = = 100/10 = 10 units

Due to increase in income from Rs.100 to Rs.200, the Budget line will be shifted
outward.

Ans. Open Market Operation: Accountants 02
8. The Central Bank can buy or sell Government Securities on the open market, to
change the level of reserves that are held by Commercial Banks. This action of
(a)(i) Central Bank is called Open Market Operation.

(ii) Change in Reserve Ratio: 02


Every Commercial Bank has to keep reserves to meet the cash demand of depositors.
In order that the reserves are kept safe, Commercial Banks will have them deposited
at the central bank. This minimum reserve ratio is fixed by Central Bank. By
manipulating this Reserve Central Bank controls the money supply and aggregate
demand.
(b) Suggestion to correct the current Account Deficit 06
1. Deflation: By bringing down the price level domestically, this can increase
the attractiveness of goods on the international market, thereby increasing
exports.
2. Exchange control: In an extreme version, a monetary authority may
command that exporters relinquish foreign exchange reserves to the central
bank. This has the effect of restricting the level of imports that are possible.
3. Tariffs: These are duties placed upon imports. This directly increases the
price of imports, making them less attractive to the domestic market. This also
gives domestic suppliers more protection to increase the supply of their own
goods.
Total Marks 10
Ans. Common Stock: 03
9. An instrument issued by companies that can be obtained via the primary or secondary
market. Investment in the business means part-ownership of the company, and also
(a)(i) rights and privileges – such as voting power, and the ability to hold a position. An
investor in debt is entitled to interest payments; the equity holder may or may not be
paid dividend, depending on the company’s policy. There is a high risk factor
involved, as the price of the stock can fluctuate greatly. Holders of the instrument
rank at the bottom of the scale if the company were to go into liquidation.
(ii) Preference Shares: 03
An instrument issued by companies that rank higher than common stock in terms of
scale of preference. They possess the same characteristics as equity in that its value is
based upon the share price fluctuating. However it also acts similar to debt
instrument, in those dividends are fixed, and the holder does not hold any voting
rights. In case of liquidation of a company, preferred shared are preferred over
common stocks.
(b) Commercial Banks create credit through advancing loans. The capacity of their credit 04
creation depends upon the money or credit multiplier. And the credit multiplier
further depends upon the reserve ratio.
Pakistan Institute of

Money multiplier=1/RR
Solution Economics
Pakistan Institute ofExam-2016

Reserve Ratio:
The portion of depositors’ funds that a bank must keep for immediate delivery to its
owner. The greater the reserve ratio, the lesser will be the amount of credit created by
the commercial banks. And the lesser will be the reserve ratio, the greater will be the
amount of credit. There is inverse relation between Reserve Ratio & Credit Creation.

For example if initial deposit is Rs. 100 and RR is 10%, then


Total credit creation= 1/10% * 100= Rs. 1000
And if reserve ratio increases to 20% then
Total Credit creation=1/20% *100= Rs. 500

communication demonstrates the following characteristics: 06
1. (a) 1. Accuracy- It refers to the accuracy of facts and figures including number, times,
dates and names, Inaccuracies may not only create a bad impression for an
organization but also impact on its profitability.
2. Appropriate media and channel – This means selecting the media and channel
according to the target audience ( their knowledge, education, experience, etc),
the nature of the message (complexity), the available time and the cost of
communicating
3. Clarity- Clarity makes comprehension of the message easier. When there is
clarity in presenting ideas, it’s easy for the receiver to grasp the meaning being
conveyed by the sender. It requires careful choice of language and keeping the
communication as simple as possible.
4. Appropriate Language ( Image and tone) – Jargon ( technical words and
phrases common accurate, clear and appropriate for the situation. Jargon
(technical words and phrases common to a specific profession or discipline) and
slang (invented words and phrases specific to a certain group of people) should
avoided. To facilitate understanding, the message may be supported with tables,
graphs and other images.
(b) Paralanguage describes the vocal yet non-verbal part of communication. They are the 03
vocal features that accompany speech. They include the variance in speed, tone, pitch,
volume of voice and stress on words.
Paralanguage affects our communication because the use of same words with the
change in tone, volume, or pitch of voice may convey different meanings to the
recipients. The effective use of paralanguage may enhance the efficacy of a message.

channels in an organization. Such type of communication takes place between
managers or employees of same cadre or between superior and subordinate and vice
versa. It is further classified ad vertical (upward and downward), horizontal and

In formal communication, secrecy can be maintained. In this type of communication,
the source of each information can be easily located.
Formal Communication increases the work load of various managers as all
communications are to be transmitted through a definite channel. Sometime the actual
message is distorted because the distance between the sender & the receiver is so big
that the information passes through many hands & by the time if reaches the receiver it
is inaccurate. Moreover formal communication is mostly conveyed in an impersonal
manner and it lacks personal warmth & involvement.
Informal Communication:
Informal communication takes place in an organization without following the formal
line of communication. Such type of communication usually takes place among the
workers to exchange their views and to satisfy their social needs. For example, workers
talking about the behavior of their superiors, discussing about some rumors etc. are
some of the examples of informal communication.
Informal communication responsibility for misleading facts can be pinpointed but it is
not so in case of informal communication. Most of the information received through
this communication in undependable & no important decision can be taken on the basis
of this along. It may lead to the leakage of important information which can prove to be
harmful for the organization.

Ans. The key points to consider in communicating a negative message while retaining
3. goodwill are as follows:
1. Use a buffer:
A buffer is a neutral or positive statement designed to soften the impact of
the negative message. A good buffer makes the reader more receptive to the
negative message.
2. Offer an explanation:
Offering of a sound reason prepares the ground for the reader to accept the
refusal. Explanation includes giving convincing reasons why the matter must
be handled differently from the expectations of the reader
3. Avoid emphasizing the refusal:
The refusal message should not be over emphasized, although it should be
clearly stated in the message.
4. Present an alternative or compromise:
Offering an alternative option would give the reader a different perspective
and create an impression that the sender cares about the reader and has a
positive and helpful attitude.
5. End with a positive statement:
The ending of an unfavorable message should be on an assuring and positive
note with a reader-friendly closing.

Ans. There areFinance Accountants
generally three types of listeners we find in an organizational setting. They
4. are as follows.
1. Results-oriented– Typically low on patience, these listeners are focused on
achieving their goals as quickly and efficiently as possible. Speakers who
like listeners to demonstrate empathy and logical thought often see results-
oriented listeners as arrogant and impatient. Conversely results-oriented
would see many speakers as unfocused and become frustrated at speakers
taking too long to make their point.
2. Information-oriented – These listeners like to build a full picture, collect
and consolidate all relevant information in order to make the right decision.
The risk is that an overly analytical approach can overlook emotional
attitudes and appear unsympathetic to some speakers.
3. People-focused – The priority of this type of listener is not the business
outcome or a technical solution, but rather a focus on supporting the speaker
and being attentive to their feelings and needs. People-focused listeners have
lots of patience and are naturally gifted at providing feedback and reflective
questions that make the speaker feel good and confident about themselves.
The speaker really feels listened-to although a result-oriented or
information-oriented speaker may feel that a people-focused listener is
vague and inconclusive with too much of an emphasis on feelings.

IRR of Project A = 10 + {[(148)/ (148 + 176)] x [20 – 10]} = 14.6% 02


IRR of Project B = 10 + {[(301)/ (301 + 10)] x [20 – 10]} = 19.7% 02
According to the IRR method both projects should be acceptable because they have IRR
greater than their cost of capitals but project B is better than project A because it has a
higher IRR than A.

According to the timing of cash flows a project that recovers major portion of its investment in
initial periods is better than a project that recovers them in the later phase of the project’s life. This
is because as further as we move into the future the more the outcomes become unpredictable.
Therefore according to this analysis project A is better than project B.
However as the other methods suggest project B is more attractive then project A.

Notes
Note 1: Lunch 01
This past cost is a ‘sunk cost’ and should therefore be excluded from the cost statement. It has
already arisen and is therefore not incremental.
Note 2: Engineers’ Costs 03
Since one of the engineers has spare capacity, the relevant cost of his hours is Nil. This is because
relevant costs must arise as a future consequence of the decision, and since his wage will be paid
regardless of whether he now works on the contract for Plus Co, it is not an incremental cost.

Public Finance Accountants
Solution Management Accounting
Pakistan Institute ofExam-2016

The situation for the other two engineers is slightly different. Their time is currently fully utilized
and earning a contribution of Rs.6 per hour each. This is after deducting their hourly cost which,
given a salary of Rs.5,000 per month each, is Rs.31.25 per hour (Rs.5,000/ (4 x 40)). However, in
one week’s time – when they would otherwise be idle – they can complete Contract X and earn the
contribution anyway. Therefore, the only relevant cost is the penalty of Rs.600 that will be payable
for the delay on Contract X.
Note 3: Technical Advisor 02
Since the advisor would have to work overtime on this contract, the relevant cost is the overtime
rate of Rs.67.50 (Rs.45 x 1·5) per hour. This would total Rs.540 for the whole job.
Note 4: Site Visits 02
This is a cost paid directly by Plus Co to a third party. Since it is not a relevant cost for Telecom Co.
it has been excluded.

Note 5: Training Costs 03


Since the trainer is paid a monthly salary irrespective of what work he does, this element of his cost
is not relevant to the contract, since it is not incremental. However, the commission of Rs.130 will
arise directly as a consequence of the decision and must therefore be included.

Note 6: Handsets 03
Although Telecom Co has 80 of the 120 handsets required already in inventory, they are clearly in
regular use in the business. Therefore, if the 80 are used on this contract, they will simply need to be
replaced again. Consequently, the relevant cost for both the 40 that need to be bought and the 80
already in inventory is the current purchase price of Rs.18·00 each. 120 x Rs.18·00 = Rs. 2,160.
Note 7: Control System 03
The historic cost of Swipe 1, Rs.5500, is a ‘sunk’ cost and not relevant to this decision. However,
since the company could sell it for Rs.3200 if it did not use it for this contract, the Rs.3200 is an
opportunity cost here. The current market price for Swipe 1 of Rs.5400 is totally irrelevant to the
decision as Telecom Co has no intention of replacing Swipe 1, since it was bought in error. In
addition to the Rs.3200, there is a modification cost of Rs.4500, bringing the total cost of converting
Swipe 1 to Rs.7,700. This is still a cheaper option than buying Swipe 2 for Rs.11000 therefore the
company would choose to do the modification to Swipe 1. The cost of Rs.11000 of a new Swipe 2
system is therefore irrelevant now.
Note 8: 03
The cable is in regular use by Telecom Co, therefore all 1000meters should be valued at current
market price of Rs. 1.35 per meter. The Rs.1.25 meter is sunk cost and not relevant.

Z Co. 7,010/15,560 45.05% 01

Overall 1.5
Both companies and both divisions within S co are clearly profitable In terms of what the
different ratios tell us, Overall if results of both Operating profit ratio and assets turnover ratio
are considered The design division of S Co. comes out top overall WS X,
ROCE 1.5
ROCE tells us the return which a company is making from its capital. The design division of S
Co is making the highest return at 25% more than twice that of the Gearbox division and
nearly three times that of Z Co. This is because that nature of a design business is such that
Profits are largely derived from the people making the designs rather than from the assets
Certain assets will obviously be necessary in order to produce the designs but it is the
employees who are mostly responsible for generating profit ROCE of Gearbox division and
Design division are fairly similar if both the division are compared in isolation. The Gearbox
division ROCE is 3% higher than Z Co because Z Cos has larger assets base than the Gearbox
division.
Assets Turnover ratio, 1.5
It can be seen that the Gearbox divisions assets generate a very high proportion of sales per Rs.
of assets (79%) compared to Z Co 19%. This is partly because the Gearbox division buys its
components in from Z Co. and therefore not need to have the large asset which Z Co. need to
make components. Pakistan Institute of

The profitability of S Co Design division and Z Co is much higher Than Gear Box division i.e.
41.96% and 45.05% as against 15.18%. The design division like the Gearbox division is also
using its assets to generate sales. but then like Z Co, its units profitability is high too (42%

Ans. 2 marks Finance Accountants
per part, 1 each for rationale and conclusion. 1 mark may be awarded
1. where rationale appears to be appropriate but conclusion is incorrect.

a. Since inventories physically verified differ from the balance shown in the books and 02
the difference is material, it can be concluded that the financial statements are
materially misstated. However the effect does not seem to be pervasive as the
misstatement is limited to only inventories and most of the other assets (i.e. fixed
assets which are 60% of total assets) are unaffected by this misstatement. In this
situation therefore, a qualified opinion should be given.
b. The item in question is material since it constitutes 10% of the company’s profits for 02
the year. Since it has been established that the prevailing law has been breached i.e.
the required maximum level of chemical release of 1 ton has been exceeded
significantly and the company has released 2.4 tons, it is clear that the company is
likely to be held responsible for the breach of law. Since a notice has not been
formally received, a liability does not accrue but a provision has to be recorded.
Management’s refusal to record the provision means the financial statements are
misstated by a material amount. In these circumstances, a qualified opinion should be
expressed in the audit report.
c. In this case since the beverage manufacturing company was formed only a year ago, it 02
is likely that the plant and machinery would be new. If there appear to be no factors
that indicate there is impairment, the matter does not warrant any modification to the
audit report. Therefore an unmodified report should be issued.
d. The refusal from management to send out letters of balance confirmation result in the 02
auditor being unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence. As per the
scenario the trade receivables are the most significant item in the balance sheet; this
implies the potential effect of the inability to obtain evidence is material. In such a
situation, a qualified opinion should be given in the audit report.
e. IAS 16 allows both forms of depreciation to be used; the purpose is to allocate the cost 02
of asset over its useful life on a systematic basis and in line with the pattern of flow of
economic benefits to the entity. In this case there appears to be no material non-
compliance with IAS-16. An unmodified report should be issued.

(c) Generally,Finance Accountants
the auditor’s report should NOT refer to the work of an expert in
unmodified opinion. This is because whilst the expert may be performing his work as
per his own standards, the auditor has to provide an independent opinion on the truth
and fairness of the Financial Statements.
However, sometimes a situation may arise wherein the audit report has to be qualified
or modified and the reason for such modification is coming out of the work
undertaken by the expert. In such cases a reference would be deemed necessary in the
audit report. If reference is made (due to law enforcement or modification of report) a
statement is required that the reference does not reduce auditor’s responsibilities.
Total Marks 12
Ans. 5 marks for each part; 1 mark for identifying the threat involved, 1 mark for
5 defining the threat identified, Up to 2 for explaining the threat and linking it to
the scenario, 2 marks for each safeguard given
The threat involved in this scenario is Familiarity threat. Familiarity threat occurs
when, because of close relationships, accountant/auditor may become too sympathetic
to the interests of Client (audit client) or officers of the Client.
In this case, Talha and Umer are Childhood friends and neighbors. And Mr. Naeem ul
Haq is the father of Umer. There is a risk that Mr. Talha may be over familiar with the
CFO of the WCC and may impair his independence.
Safeguards
1) The firm should change the engagement manager deputed for the audit of
WCC
2) If this is identified at a later stage of the audit, Mr. Talha should be removed
from the audit team and any work done by Mr. Talha should be reviewed by
Quality Assurance Partner.
The threat involved in this case is Self-review threat. Self-review threat occurs when a
previous work done or judgment given by an accountant/auditor needs to be re-
evaluated by the same accountant/auditor subsequently while providing assurance.
In this case, the firm is asked to prepare fixed asset register for an audit client. There is
a risk that audit team will be reviewing the work of its own firm when performing
audit.
Safeguards
1) It is to be noted that since Tirmazi trader (Pvt.) Limited is not a listed client,
firm can provide such service to the Client as long the firm deputes separate
team for the preparation of fixed asset register and audit.
2) The two teams should be instructed to not to communicate with each other on
this matter and non-disclosure agreement should be signed by both teams.
3) It should be communicated to the client that primary responsibility for the
preparation and maintenance of fixed asset register rests with the management
of the Company.

Total Marks 08
Ans. 2 marks for explaining why not conducting stock count is important and what 05
8.(a) assertions are not checked/tested, 1 mark for calculating the materiality, 1 mark
for alternative procedures, 1 mark for the impact on audit report
This is an auditing issue; stock take activity did not take place at year end because the
Company has not made necessary procedures for performing stock count.
This means that existence and completeness assertion of the stock could not be
verified.
Closing stock balance also has a direct impact of the calculation of cost of sales and
profit before tax.
Materiality: If we use profit before tax (PBT) as a base for planning materiality (PM)
and sets the PM at 10% of PBT of Rs. 500 million, then PM amounts to Rs. 50
million. Stock amounts to Rs. 300 million which is both material and may be
pervasing to the financial statements.
Alternative procedure: Auditor should ask the management to consider performing
stock count subsequent to the year-end i.e. 31 December 2015.
Then auditor can work back from the date of stock count to arrive at the position of
stock at 31 December 215.
Impact on Audit Report: If management does not agree to above, the auditor will
modify the audit report by giving disclaimer of opinion as the impact of stock on
financial statement is both material and pervasive.
(b) 2 marks for explaining why preparing the going concern assumption is not valid 05
and its impact on financial statements, 1 mark for alternative procedures, 1 mark
for the impact on audit report.
In this case, the going concern assumption of the Company is in question.
Financial statements of the client are prepared using going concern assumption. i.e. It
is an accounting issue as the basis of preparation of the financial statement is not
correct.
Going Concern assumption is that the Company will be able to continue operating for
a period of time that is sufficient to carry out its commitments, obligations, objectives,

Since, theFinance
operating license ofAccountants
the Company is canceled by Court Orders, Company
cannot operate in the pharmaceutical market. So the preparation of financial
statements on going concern is not correct.

Materiality: Since going concern assumption is fundamental to the users of financial


statements, the impact of this on financial statements will be both material and
pervasive.

Alternative Course of action: The Company should prepare financial statements on


other basis. E.g. break up value basis. And fact the Company is not a going concern
shall be disclosed in the financial statements.

Impact on Audit Report: If the financial statements have been prepared using the
going concern basis of accounting but, in the auditor’s judgment, management’s use
of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements
is inappropriate, the auditor shall express an adverse or qualified opinion depending
on whether the impact is material or material and pervasive as well. In the instant case,
the matter appears to be more than material as there is a disclosure fundamental to
users’ understanding of the financial statements which is missing. An adverse opinion
would therefore be appropriate.
Total Marks 10
Ans. Up to 2 marks for the definition of subsequent event 02
9.(a)
Events occurring between the date of the financial statements and the date of the
auditor's report, and facts that become known to the auditor after the date of the
auditor's report
(b) Up to 6 marks for explaining the course of action to take including assessment of 12
risk of other undisclosed litigation, Up to 3 marks each for explaining the course
of action If management amends / does not amend the financial statements
The partner/audit team has no obligation to perform any audit procedures regarding
the financial statements of light and life Limited Company after the date of the
auditor's report.
In this case, the auditor was unaware of the pending legal case at the time of signing
of Auditor’s Report. However, the partner of the firm became aware of the litigation
before financial statements are authorized for issue and became public information.
However, as per ISA 560, if after the date of the auditor's report but before the date
the financial statements are issued, a fact becomes known to the auditor that, had it
been known to the auditor at the date of the auditor's report, may have caused the
auditor to amend the auditor's report, the auditor shall:
1. Discuss the matter with management and, where appropriate, those
charged with governance.
2. Determine whether the financial statements need amendment and, if so,

3. Inquire how management intends to address the matter in the financial
statements.
Another important matter to consider here is that the management did not disclose this
litigation to the audit team. It needs to be assessed whether this omission was
deliberate on the part of management or just an oversight. This is because if factors
indicate a deliberate omission, it could be a serious issue and as an auditor we would
need to ascertain whether there are any other similar matters that may not have been
previously disclosed to us.
Addressing the aforementioned risk could include steps such as requesting
management to have the auditor perform extensive procedures on litigation and legal
fees, review of publicly available information through external media sources to
identify such cases etc.
Course Of Action If Management Amends The Financial Statements
If management amends the financial statements, the auditor shall:
(a) Carry out the audit procedures necessary in the circumstances on the
amendment.
(b) Extend the audit procedures to the date of the new auditor's report; and
(c) Provide a new auditor's report on the amended financial statements. The
new auditor's report shall not be dated earlier than the date of approval
of the amended financial statements.
Course Of Action If Management Does not Amend The Financial Statements
In this case the auditor's report has already been provided to the entity, if management
does not amend the financial statements in circumstances where the auditor believes
they need to be amended then
(a) The auditor shall notify management and, unless all of those charged
with governance are involved in managing the entity, those charged
with governance, not to issue the financial statements to third parties
before the necessary amendments have been made.
(b) If the financial statements are nevertheless subsequently issued without
the necessary amendments, the auditor shall take appropriate action, to
seek to prevent reliance on the auditor's report.
