Answer:

C) The difference between selling price and carrying value is recorded as a realized gain or loss.

Explanation:

US GAAP requires that when a company acquires another company it must record the transaction using the acquisition method. The purchasing company must record the value for:

  1. tangible assets and liabilities that were acquired
  2. intangible assets and liabilities that were acquired
  3. noncontrolling interest in the acquired business
  4. consideration paid to the seller
  5. goodwill or gain on the transaction

Since the question focuses on realized gain or loss, we will skip the first four elements. Goodwill would be considered a loss since it represents the amount of money paid in excess of the company's fair market value. A gain would equal a negative goodwill.

  • goodwill = acquisition price + noncontrolling interest - identifiable assets acquired  + identifiable liabilities acquired

In this case, since the buyer (Jax Company) decided to sell back stocks to Saxton Company, there is no more acquisition. But you can still determine if the operation resulted in a gain or a loss. The way you can do this is by taking the sale price of the stocks repurchased by Saxton and subtracting the carrying value of those stocks. Probably Jax used the acquisition method because its original intention was to purchase Saxton, but things happen and it couldn't be done.

A. explain the auditor’s justification for accepting the uncertainties that are inherent in the sampling process.
Troyanec [42]
<span>A. An auditor can accept the uncertainties in the sampling process since they have some idea in which financial statements errors are occurring. In this case their sample is not completely random. B. The formula AR = IR Ă— CR Ă— DR is often used to describe audit risk. Here, AR is audit risk, IR is inherent risk, CR is control risk, and DR is detection risk. Inherent risk is the risk of a report containing errors due to the complex nature of how the audited business runs. Control risk is the risk that an error may occur but may not be detected by the business itself. Detection risk is the risk that the auditor may fail to find errors that are present in the business' financial reports. C. An auditor may only sample, or inspect a fraction of a company's financial history. This is done for practical purposes, for there may not be enough time to inspect everything, or it may be too costly. If the auditor is issuing a test of controls, in which they are scrutinizing their target's internal procedures for detecting errors, then sampling may fail to see these errors.</span>
