PROBLEM NO. 1
You are engaged in the regular annual examination of the accounts and records of PRTC
Manufacturing Co. for the year ended December 31, 2012. To reduce the workload at year
end, the company, upon your recommendation, took its annual physical inventory on
November 30, 2012. You observed the taking of the inventory and made tests of the
inventory count and the inventory records.
The companys inventory account, which includes raw materials and work-in-process is on
perpetual basis. Inventories are valued at cost, first-in, first-out method. There is no finished
goods inventory.
The companys physical inventory revealed that the book inventory of P1,695,960 was
understated by P84,000.
To avoid delay in completing its monthly financial statements, the company decided not to
adjust the book inventory until year-end except for obsolete inventory items.
Your examination disclosed the following information regarding the November 30 inventory:
Pricing tests showed that the physical inventory was overstated by P61,600.
Direct labor included in the inventory amounted to P280,000. Overhead was included at the
rate of 200% of direct labor. You have ascertained that the amount of direct labor was
correct and that the overhead rate was proper.
The physical inventory included obsolete materials with a total cost of P7,000. During
December, the obsolete materials were written off by a charge to cost of sales.
Your audit also disclosed the following information about the December 31 inventory:

PRTC entered into a twelve-year operating lease starting January 1, 2009. The leasehold
improvements were completed on December 31, 2008 and the facility was occupied on
January 1, 2009.
On January 6, 2012, PRTC completed its self-construction of a building on its own land. Direct
costs of construction were P1,095,000. Construction of the building required 15,000 direct
labor hours. PRTC's construction department has an overhead allocation system for outside
jobs based on an activity denominator of 100,000 direct labor hours, budgeted fixed costs of
P2,500,000, and budgeted variable costs of P27 per direct labor hour.
On July 1, 2012, machinery and equipment were purchased at a total invoice cost of
P325,000. Additional costs of P23,000 to rectify damage on delivery and P18,000 for
concrete embedding of machinery were incurred. A wall had to be demolished to enable a
large machine to be moved into the plant. The wall demolition cost P7,000, and rebuilding of
the wall cost P19,000.
On September 30, 2012, a truck with a cost of P48,000 and a carrying amount of P30,000 on
December 31, 2011 was sold for P23,500.

You noted the following items relative to the companys Intangible assets in connection with
your audit of the PRTC Corporations financial statements for the year 2012.
Franchise
Patent
On July 1, 2012, PRTC purchased a patent from the inventor, who asked P1,100,000 for it.
PRTC paid for the patent as follows: cash, P400,000; issuance of 10,000 shares of its own
ordinary shares, par P10 (market value, P20 per share); and a note payable due at the end
of three years, face amount, P500,000, noninterest-bearing. The current interest rate for this
type of financing is 12 percent. PRTC estimates the useful life of the patent to be ten years.
Trademark
PRTC purchased for P1,200,000 a trademark for a very successful soft drink it markets under
the name POWER!. The trademark was determined to have an indefinite life. A competitor
recently introduced a product that is in direct competition with the POWER! product, thus
suggesting the need for an impairment test. Data gathered by the entity suggests that the
useful life of the trademark is still indefinite, but the cash flows expected to be generated by
the trademark have been reduced either to P40,000 per year (with a probability of 70%) or
to P80,000 per year (with 30% probability). The appropriate risk-free interest rate is 5%. The
appropriate risk-adjusted interest rate is 10%.

You were engaged by PRTC Corporation, a small and medium-sized entity, to audit its
financial statements for the year 2012. During the course of your audit, you noted the
following regarding its recent acquisitions of investments in equity securities:
On 1 January 2012 the entity acquired 25 per cent of the equity of each of entities B, C and
D for P10 million, P15 million and P28 million respectively. Transaction costs of 1 per cent of
the purchase price of the shares were incurred by the entity.

million and P18 million. However, entity D recognized a loss of P20 million for that year.
Published price quotations do not exist for the shares of entities B, C and D. Using
appropriate valuation techniques the entity determined the fair value of its investments in
entities B, C and D at 31 December 2012 as P13 million, P29 million and P15 million
respectively. Costs to sell are estimated at 5 per cent of the fair value of the investments.

investments in associates using one of the following: (a) the cost model in paragraph 14.5,

PRTC is in the process of negotiating a loan for expansion purposes, and the bank has
requested audited financial statements. During the course of the audit, the following
additional information was obtained:
Based on an aging of the accounts receivable as of November 30, 2012, it was estimated
that P36,000 of the receivables will be uncollectible.
Inventories at November 30, 2012 did not include work in process inventory costing
P12,000, sent to an outside processor on November 29, 2012.
A P3,000 insurance premium paid on November 30, 2012 on a policy expiring one year later
was charged to insurance expense.
PRTC adopted a pension plan on June 1, 2012 for eligible employees to be administered by a
trustee. Based upon actuarial computations, the first twelve months' normal pension was
estimated at P45,000.
On June 1, 2012, a production machine purchased for P24,000 was charged to repairs and
maintenance. PRTC depreciates machines of this type on the straight-line method over a
five-year life with no salvage value, for financial and tax purposes.
Research and development costs of P150,000 were incurred the development of a patent,
which PRTC expects to be granted during the fiscal year ending November 30, 2013. PRTC
initiated a five-year amortization of the P150,000 total cost during the fiscal year ended
November 30, 2012.
During December 2012, a competitor company filed suit against PRTC for patent
infringement claiming P200,000 damages. PRTC's legal counsel believes that an unfavorable
outcome is probable. A reasonable estimate of the court's award to the plaintiff is P50,000.
The 40% effective tax rate was determined to be appropriate for calculating the provision for
income taxes for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2012. Ignore computation of the
deferred portion of income taxes.

During the course of the audit, the following additional information was obtained:
The trading securities were acquired on December 31, 2011. The securities have a fair value
of P67,000 at December 31, 2012.
In discussion with the company officials, it was determined that the doubtful accounts
expense rate based on net sales should be reduced to 2% from 3%, effective January 1,
2012.
On January 1, 2011, the cost of equipment purchased for P30,000 was debited to repairs and
maintenance. PRTC depreciates equipment of this type by the straight-line method over a
five-year life with no residual value.
On July 1, 2012, fully depreciated equipment purchased for P21,000, was sold as scrap for
P2,500. The only entry PRTC made was to debit cash and credit property and equipment for
the scrap proceeds. The property and equipment (net) had a current cost of P250,000 at
December 31, 2012.
Advertising and promotion expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes the
P25,000 cost of printing sales catalogs for a special promotional campaign held in January
2012.
PRTC was named as a defendant in a lawsuit in October 2012. PRTC's counsel is of the
opinion that PRTC has a good defense, and does not anticipate any impairment of PRTC's
assets or that any significant liability will be incurred. Nevertheless, PRTCs management
wished to be conservative and, therefore, established a loss contingency of P100,000 at
December 31, 2012.
