正确答案：
2 All organisations of whatever size have to work in a co-ordinated way to ensure that the objectives laid down are achieved.However, for effective co-ordination to take place, the structure must be correct and understood. Very often, managers know the structure but cannot explain its significance or appropriateness.
(a) The structure of an organisation is often depicted as a chart. The structure explains the communication pattern, the linking mechanism between departments, tasks and individuals, the co-ordinating mechanism that ensures the entire organization is working toward the same objective, and who is in control of the organisation’s activities and at what level in the organisation.

正确答案：
(b) Kohlberg’s levels of moral development
Description of levels
Kohlberg described human moral development in terms of three consecutive levels.
Preconventional moral responses view morality in terms of rewards, punishments and whether or not the act will be
penalised, found out or rewarded.
Conventional moral responses view morality in terms of compliance with the agreed legal and regulatory frameworks relevant
at the time and place in which the decision is taking place.
Postconventional responses go beyond the other two and frame. morality in terms of the effects of the action on oneself and
others, on how it will affect one’s own moral approach and how it will accord with wider systems of ethics and social norms.
Three people in the case
The three people mentioned in the case exhibit different levels of moral development.
Gary Howells is demonstrating the preconventional in that he sees the decision to disclose or not in terms of whether WM
can get away with it. He was inclined to conceal the information because of the potential impact on the company’s share
price on the stock market. His suggestion was underpinned by his belief that the concealment of the incorrect valuation would
not be ‘found out’.
Vanda Monroe demonstrates conventional behaviour, reminding the WM board of its legal and regulatory obligations under
the rules of its stock market listing. In particular, she reminded the board about the importance of the company’s compliance
with corporate governance and ethics codes by the stock market. To fail to disclose would, in Vanda’s view, be a breach of
those stock market expectations. Rather than rewards and punishments, Vanda was more concerned with compliance with
rules and regulations.
Martin Chan is demonstrating postconventional morality by referring to consistency of treatment and the notion of ‘do as you
would be done by’. He said that he wouldn’t want to be deceived if he were an outside investor in the company. His response
was underpinned neither by rewards or punishments, nor by compliance with regulations, but rather than a persuasion that
moral behaviour is about doing what one believes to be right, regardless of any other factors.

(c) Principal audit work
(i) Development expenditure on the Fox model
■ Agree opening balance, $6·3 million, to prior year working papers.
■ Physically inspect assembly plant/factory where the Fox is being developed and any vehicles so far manufactured
(e.g. for testing).
■ Substantiate costs incurred during the year, for example:
– goods (e.g. components) and services (e.g. consultants) to purchase invoices;
– labour (e.g. design engineers/technicians, mechanics, test drivers) to the payroll analysis;
– overheads (e.g. depreciation of development buildings and equipment, power, consumables) to
management’s calculation of overhead absorption and underlying cost accounts.
■ Review of internal trials/test drive results (e.g. in reports to management and video recordings of events).
■ Reperform. management’s impairment test of development expenditure. In particular recalculate value in use.
Tutorial note: It is highly unlikely that a reasonable estimate of fair value less costs to sell could be made for so
unique an asset.
■ Substantiate the key assumptions made by management in calculating value in use. For example:
– the level of sales expected when the car is launched to advance orders (this may have fallen with the delay
in the launch);
– the discount rate used to Pavia’s cost of capital;
– projected growth in sales to actual sales growth seen last time a new model was launched.

正确答案：
(ii) The implications of selling the Oxford house and garden in two separate disposals
The additional sales proceeds would result in an increase in Clifford’s capital gains and consequently his tax liability.
When computing the gain on the sale of the house together with a small part of the garden, the allowable cost would
be a proportion of the original cost. That proportion would be A/A + B where A is the value of the house and garden
that has been sold and B is the value of the part of the garden that has been retained. Principal private residence relief
and taper relief would be available in the same way as that set out in (i) above.
When computing the gain on the sale of the remainder of the garden, the cost would be the original cost of the property
less the amount used in computing the gain on the earlier disposal. Principal private residence relief would not be
available as the land sold is not a dwelling house or part of one.
