ACC1100 Accounting 1

ACC1100 Accounting 1
A1 Assignment value: 20%
The Assignment involves a case study. You will be assigned to one case relating to a fictitious company and will write a business report where you analyse the facts of the case and provide recommendations to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the business about suggestions made to address the issues faced by the company.
The assignment satisfies W23 Course learning objective (CLO) 2: Access, analyse and
critically evaluate relevant information to solve challenging business problems systematically
[AQF7 S1, S3, A1].
How the assignment is related to the unit and learning objectives
This unit covers accounting which is a service activity to organisations. Accounting’s main
purpose is to provide information to various users, be it internal users such as managers of
the organisation itself or to external users such as investors, creditors, regulators, consumers,
employees, and various parties interested in the organisational performance and the
organisation’s impact on society at large.
In the past, there have been many financial scandals involving financial statement frauds, and
mismanagement of companies leading to the eventual collapse of these companies. The violation of accounting assumptions/ concepts and professional ethics has led to non-credible
accounting information presented to users of financial reports.
The credibility of accounting information is critical for decision making if the information is to
be relied upon. The regulatory framework and professional codes of conduct as well as the
accounting standards guided by assumptions and accounting concepts have been
promulgated to ensure that accounting and accountants deliver useful information.
Businesses who are being reported on, also, must uphold ethical business practices in
compliance to ethical business norms and regulation. To this end corporate governance
frameworks including Ethical codes of conduct for employees in an organisation have been
formulated by the relevant Stock exchanges and business organisations, themselves.
The assignment cases therefore relate to different situations/problems encountered by the
accountants or managers of businesses. On completion of the assignment, students should
be able to:
• Identify and assess the relevant available frameworks, be they accounting or ethical
conceptual framework/ standards for solving the situations/problems presented in the
cases.
• Interpret and apply logically the identified framework/ standard to analyse each
situation/problem, outlining clearly how this is done.
• Consider the situation/problem in the broader context of business governance and
regulation, not only from the accounting perspective.
• Provide professional recommendations on the accounting treatment and other
initiatives in respect to the situation.
• Be able to extract information from the financial statements and report on the relevant
accounting policies adopted and financial amounts disclosed by one (1) listed
company on the Australian Stock Exchange.

Toyworkz Ltd is a manufacturing company that produces electronic toys. The company’s

year, which ends on 30 September. Market analysts have predicted the current year’s
earnings growth to be 10%. The accountant of Toyworkz expects earnings to be only 8%
and the company is operating in a tight labour market in the recent few years. The manager
has the following suggestions for action for the current financial year:
a. Delay the recording of product returns in September to the month of October.
b. Record cash received in September for toy orders as sales revenue. The orders will
be shipped in October/ November, but staff will be asked to change, i.e., back date
the shipping documents to September.
c. Record costs on researching alternative raw materials, which can potentially be
used for production, as intangible asset.
d. The toys are hand-painted, and it was reported by a journalist that Toyworkz’s
second tier supplier is using child labour to hand-paint the toys. It is suggested that
the company replace the second- tier supplier but this action will take time.

Case 2
Outback Meats has produced an innovative product over the last three years which has
been well received overseas. Instead of selling emu bellies to pet food manufacturers, it
has developed a new product Emu jerky for export. Outback reported a minimum 12%
growth in annual earnings for each of the past three years. During the current year,
because of a downturn in the economy, the earnings growth is expected to be less than
9%. One month before the 31 December financial year-end of the current year, the
manager of the Emu jerky product line is considering the following actions that could
address the low earnings growth:
a. Defer December’s routine monthly maintenance on packaging equipment to the
next financial year.
b. Outback purchased equipment which was transported to the factory in Perth. The
company paid the fine incurred by the driver who parked the truck illegally to get a
coffee, as well as the extra cost to replace a part which fell off the truck because it
was not secured properly by the driver. The bookkeeper will be instructed to
include the fine and cost of part replacement to the asset account “Equipment”.
c. Defer the recording of the current period’s advertising costs by requesting Outback
Meats’ external advertising agency to delay the billing of December
advertisements until January of the next financial year or instruct Outback’s staff
to alter invoices to a date in the next financial year.
d. Request the accountant to increase the dollar amount of the emu bellies inventory
on the balance sheet to show a higher market price (net realisable value).
Requirements for the report on pages 7 to 8

Case 3
Global Net Ltd is an internet service provider in Australia which employs staff located
overseas to man its call centres. It has been operating in the business for three years.
Competition in this industry is intense and Global is about to issue more shares in the
following two years. The following ideas have been suggested for action for the current
year (ending 30 June):
a. Record executive year-end bonus compensation for the current year when it is
paid in the next year, after the June financial year-end.
b. Move the call centres to cheaper and older rental premises outside of the city
centre.
c. Sell off equipment before year-end. The proceeds from the sale will be recorded
as service revenue and the carrying amount as expenses. The equipment could
be replaced with leased equipment in the current year if required.
d. Record the cash received from new customers in June as service revenue for the
current year. The plans will be effective from 1 July of the next financial year.
