Chapter 15, Problem 3BTN

ETHICS CHALLENGE P3

BIN 15-3 Assume that your company sells portable housing to both general contractors and the government. It sells jobs to contractors on a bid basis. A contractor asks for three bids from different manufacturers. The combination of low bid and high quality wins the job. However, jobs sold to the government are bid on a cost-plus basis. This means price is determined by adding all costs plus a profit based on cost at a specified percent, such as 10%. You observe that the amount of overhead applied to government jobs is higher than that applied to contract jobs. These allocations concern you.

Point: Students could compare responses and discuss differences in concerns with allocating overhead.

Required

Write a half-page memo to your company’s chief financial officer outlining your concerns with overhead allocation.

Audit, Fraud, Or Forensic Accounting Introduce yourself to your peers by sharing something unique about your background. Explain how you expect this course will help you move forward in your current or future career. This course covers forensic accounting, so it's important to establish the differences between an audit, a fraud examination, and a forensic accounting engagement. Think about the fraud conviction of Elizabeth Holmes, as described in the video, "Elizabeth Holmes Found Guilty in Theranos Fraud Trial." Then respond to the following: Imagine you are assigned to the Theranos case. Write the first five questions you would ask if you were an auditor, the first five questions as a fraud examiner, and the first five as a forensic accountant. After your questions, explain why the questions and approaches are different among the three roles. Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates' posts.
