  • 第1题:

    (b) Explain the principal audit procedures to be performed during the final audit in respect of the estimated

    warranty provision in the balance sheet of Island Co as at 30 November 2007. (5 marks)


    正确答案:
    (b) ISA 540 Audit of Accounting Estimates requires that auditors should obtain sufficient audit evidence as to whether an
    accounting estimate, such as a warranty provision, is reasonable given the entity’s circumstances, and that disclosure is
    appropriate. One, or a combination of the following approaches should be used:
    Review and test the process used by management to develop the estimate
    – Review contracts or orders for the terms of the warranty to gain an understanding of the obligation of Island Co
    – Review correspondence with customers during the year to gain an understanding of claims already in progress at the
    year end
    – Perform. analytical procedures to compare the level of warranty provision year on year, and compare actual to budgeted
    provisions. If possible disaggregate the data, for example, compare provision for specific types of machinery or customer
    by customer
    – Re-calculate the warranty provision
    – Agree the percentage applied in the calculation to the stated accounting policy of Island Co
    – Review board minutes for discussion of on-going warranty claims, and for approval of the amount provided
    – Use management accounts to ascertain normal level of warranty rectification costs during the year
    – Discuss with Kate Shannon the assumptions she used to determine the percentage used in her calculations
    – Consider whether assumptions used are consistent with the auditors’ understanding of the business
    – Compare prior year provision with actual expenditure on warranty claims in the accounting period
    – Compare the current year provision with prior year and discuss any fluctuation with Kate Shannon.
    Review subsequent events which confirm the estimate made
    – Review any work carried out post year end on specific faults that have been provided for. Agree that all costs are included
    in the year end provision.
    – Agree cash expended on rectification work in the post balance sheet period to the cash book
    – Agree cash expended on rectification work post year end to suppliers’ invoices, or to internal cost ledgers if work carried
    out by employees of Island Co
    – Read customer correspondence received post year end for any claims received since the year end.

  • 第3题:


    What measures should be taken to eliminate Japan’s fiscal deficit?( )

    A.To increase the consumption tax by 20 percentage points from its current 5%.
    B.To increase in taxes of about 10% of GDP.
    C.To decrease social-security expenditure.
    D.To hold more government bonds.

    答案:A
    解析:
    细节题。答案在第七段最后两句That gives it plenty of room to manoeuvre.Takatoshi Ito,an economist at the University of Tokyo,says increasing the consumption tax by 20 percentage points from its current 5%—putting it at the level of a high-tax European country—would raise¥50 trillion and immediately wipe out Japan’s fiscal deficit。B、C、D三项与题目无关。故本题选A。参考译文:日本人声称他们的经济遭受着“结构性悲观主义”的影响。国外也这样,人们倾向于将日本看作欧元区和美国经济走向的风向标——尽管11月14日公布的第三季度数据表明,日本的年经济增长率达6%,已经从三月的海啸以及核危机中迅速恢复过来,也无法改变人们的固有看法。不过冷静地看日本经济过去十年间的表现,将其与第一个没落的十年相比较,并称之为“第二个没落的十年”,实际上有失偏颇。事实上,折损日本形象的诱因主要是该国的人口结构——该国一半以上的人口已经超过45岁——且日本缺乏有效的政策解决这一问题。即使如此,大部分日本人在过去十年中仍然变得更加富有。总的来说,在2001年至2010年间,日本经济的增长速度是美国经济增长速度的一半。不过,如果比较相同时期人均国民生产总值的增长速度,日本的表现超过了美国和欧元区。部分原因是日本的人口呈缩减趋势,而美国的人口呈上升趋势。虽然劳动生产力的涨幅在2000年至2008年间下跌,稍稍落后于美国,但根据位于东京的亚洲生产组织的结论,用以衡量一个国家如何运用资本和劳动力的全要素生产率在飞速提升。日本的失业率虽比2000年更高,但失业水平仍为欧美失业率的一半。除了能预见的经济停滞,日本经济的其他两个祸根是债务和通货紧缩,而这也部分影响了人口增长并被盲目夸大。人们一直认为日本是个债务国。而事实则是,日本是世界上最大的债权国,拥有253万亿日元(合计3.3万亿美元)的外国净资产。可以确定的是,日本政府是个大债主,它的负债净额也是国民生产总值的一部分,日本是经济合作与发展组织中负债净额最高的国家之一。然而,国际货币基金组织认为,增长的公共债务,并不主要是由于浪费的花销或“不知通向何方的桥梁”,而是因为人口的老龄化。1990年至2010年间,作为国民生产总值组成部分的公共安全花销翻倍,用于支付不断上升的养老费用和医疗费用,而在同时期的税收则出现紧缩。政府税收收入不断减少是个麻烦。日本税收是经济合作与发展组织中最少的国家,只占国民生产总值的17%。然而,低税收的好处是,这给了日本政府很大空间去改革税制。东京大学的经济学家伊藤隆敏说道,将消费税从现在的5%提升20个百分点,让日本消费税比欧洲所有国家都要高,这将会瞬间抹去日本财政中50万亿日元的赤字。这听起来很严酷,但是人口结构又一次起了作用。政府官员说老年人反对增加税收和削减福利,然而人数相对较少的年轻人缺乏政治权力,无法推出为自己的长期利益服务的政策。纽约哥伦比亚大学日本经济研究院的教授大卫·温斯顿说道,老年人宁愿把财产留给儿女也不愿去交税,最终意味着未来的福利将会减少。“若想让获得的福利和你的工资一起增长,就像现在这样,你需要使税收收入大幅增长,增幅约为国民生产总值的10%才行。”他说道。他说,人口结构同样也帮助解释了日本通货紧缩的原因。毕竟,不断下降的价格使得那些储户,大部分是老人,得到实惠,即便名义利率接近零。直到现在,持有政府债券都是一个不错的选择。国内的储户希望国债展期,这能够让政府填补财政赤字,虽然是以经济的停滞为代价的。总之,日本经济对于那些中老年人来说一直不错,而对于年轻人就不怎么样了。但是它还没有陷入危机之中,而且经济学家称,日本人还可以做很多事,用于提升其潜在的增长率并减轻它的债务负担。

    问答题
    Practice 5  You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.  Write about the following topic:  In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of health and fitness are decreasing.  What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them?  Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.  Write at least 250 words.

    正确答案: 【参考范文】
    Today, more and more countries are experiencing a situation where their citizens are becoming heavier, less fit, and more unhealthy. The causes of this are clear, and there are many possible solutions. I shall look at the causes and a couple of possible solutions in this essay.
    In almost all cases, the causes of increased weight are excessive eating and/or lack of exercise. If a person eats more calories than they use, they will certainly gain weight. If they do not exercise enough, this weight gain will become fat and too much fat results in health problems such as obesity and depression. The solutions, therefore, are simple enough—to convince people to consume fewer calories and/or exercise more.
    This is easier said than done. Nowadays, more and more people have access to an increasing amount of food. Many people prefer food that is high in calories—perhaps because they think it tastes better or because it is faster and more convenient. One way of getting them to eat fewer calories can be to show them tastier dishes quickly prepared with lower calories.
    Another solution is to have people do more exercise, so that the calories eaten are less of a problem. This could be done by reducing the cost of keeping fit and by creating better infrastructure. Financing sports and exercise facilities could be pricey, but there are long-term savings as well as benefits if people are healthier as a result. If every neighbourhood had easily accessible sports and exercise facilities, people would be able to use them much more often.
    In conclusion, there are two main causes of weight increase and there are several possible solutions to tackle it.

    答案:A
    解析:
    细节题。答案在第七段最后两句That gives it plenty of room to manoeuvre.Takatoshi Ito,an economist at the University of Tokyo,says increasing the consumption tax by 20 percentage points from its current 5%—putting it at the level of a high-tax European country—would raise¥50 trillion and immediately wipe out Japan’s fiscal deficit。B、C、D三项与题目无关。故本题选A。参考译文:日本人声称他们的经济遭受着“结构性悲观主义”的影响。国外也这样,人们倾向于将日本看作欧元区和美国经济走向的风向标——尽管11月14日公布的第三季度数据表明,日本的年经济增长率达6%,已经从三月的海啸以及核危机中迅速恢复过来,也无法改变人们的固有看法。不过冷静地看日本经济过去十年间的表现,将其与第一个没落的十年相比较,并称之为“第二个没落的十年”,实际上有失偏颇。事实上,折损日本形象的诱因主要是该国的人口结构——该国一半以上的人口已经超过45岁——且日本缺乏有效的政策解决这一问题。即使如此,大部分日本人在过去十年中仍然变得更加富有。总的来说,在2001年至2010年间,日本经济的增长速度是美国经济增长速度的一半。不过,如果比较相同时期人均国民生产总值的增长速度,日本的表现超过了美国和欧元区。部分原因是日本的人口呈缩减趋势,而美国的人口呈上升趋势。虽然劳动生产力的涨幅在2000年至2008年间下跌,稍稍落后于美国,但根据位于东京的亚洲生产组织的结论,用以衡量一个国家如何运用资本和劳动力的全要素生产率在飞速提升。日本的失业率虽比2000年更高,但失业水平仍为欧美失业率的一半。除了能预见的经济停滞,日本经济的其他两个祸根是债务和通货紧缩,而这也部分影响了人口增长并被盲目夸大。人们一直认为日本是个债务国。而事实则是,日本是世界上最大的债权国,拥有253万亿日元(合计3.3万亿美元)的外国净资产。可以确定的是,日本政府是个大债主,它的负债净额也是国民生产总值的一部分,日本是经济合作与发展组织中负债净额最高的国家之一。然而,国际货币基金组织认为,增长的公共债务,并不主要是由于浪费的花销或“不知通向何方的桥梁”,而是因为人口的老龄化。1990年至2010年间,作为国民生产总值组成部分的公共安全花销翻倍,用于支付不断上升的养老费用和医疗费用,而在同时期的税收则出现紧缩。政府税收收入不断减少是个麻烦。日本税收是经济合作与发展组织中最少的国家,只占国民生产总值的17%。然而,低税收的好处是,这给了日本政府很大空间去改革税制。东京大学的经济学家伊藤隆敏说道,将消费税从现在的5%提升20个百分点,让日本消费税比欧洲所有国家都要高,这将会瞬间抹去日本财政中50万亿日元的赤字。这听起来很严酷,但是人口结构又一次起了作用。政府官员说老年人反对增加税收和削减福利,然而人数相对较少的年轻人缺乏政治权力,无法推出为自己的长期利益服务的政策。纽约哥伦比亚大学日本经济研究院的教授大卫·温斯顿说道,老年人宁愿把财产留给儿女也不愿去交税,最终意味着未来的福利将会减少。“若想让获得的福利和你的工资一起增长,就像现在这样,你需要使税收收入大幅增长,增幅约为国民生产总值的10%才行。”他说道。他说,人口结构同样也帮助解释了日本通货紧缩的原因。毕竟,不断下降的价格使得那些储户,大部分是老人,得到实惠,即便名义利率接近零。直到现在,持有政府债券都是一个不错的选择。国内的储户希望国债展期,这能够让政府填补财政赤字,虽然是以经济的停滞为代价的。总之,日本经济对于那些中老年人来说一直不错,而对于年轻人就不怎么样了。但是它还没有陷入危机之中,而且经济学家称,日本人还可以做很多事,用于提升其潜在的增长率并减轻它的债务负担。

    Directions: Write a composition of no less than 140 words, giving your views about Intellectual Dishonesty. You should describe the phenomenon first and then give some reasons and possible measures to take.

    正确答案:
    Recently, the issue of intellectual dishonesty has gained much more attention and it has become a hot topic since some scandals have been exposed. Honesty is considered as one of the most cherished virtues. Anyone who wants to be successful cannot do so without this reputation. However, in the academic circle, the phenomenon of intellectual dishonesty shows a tendency to increase.
    The reasons accounted for this phenomenon can be explained as follows:
    Firstly, some professors rely on copying others’ works in order to get high reputation in their research fields. This can be achieved without too much hard work and it is comparatively easier.
    Secondly, there exists some kind of standard in such places as universities. Therefore, some people plagiarize in order to meet the standard as well as to get more money when they have the papers published.
    It is obvious that intellectual dishonesty has exerted harmful effects on our society and human civilization as a whole. To solve this problem, it is imperative for the government to enact laws to severely punish those who plagiarize.

    【录音原文】
      The momentum is building ahead of next month’s G8 summit in Scotland where the leaders of the world’s richest nations will debate what they can do to help some of the world’s poorest. Africa is the priority and the politicians will discuss reducing the debt burden, ending trade regulations which put the continent’s economy at a disadvantage, and giving more aid. Mark Doyle, who’s reported from Africa for many years, looks at why aid is necessary, and why much of what’s been donated in the past has not worked. All around the edge of Africa—along the coastline, near the continents’ ports—are monuments to exploitation. On the island of Goree, for example, just off the coast of Senegal, there’s the Slave House. This was the last place many Africans saw before being shipped off to a lifetime of slavery, in the Americas or, just as often, to death on the high seas. There are many more places like this dating from the three hundred and fifty years or so of the African slave trade. When people wonder why Africa is so poor, they need look no further for the start of an explanation. The end of the slavery was followed by a century of colonialism. Some people argue that colonialism brought limited development—railways and schools and so on—the system was principally designed to turn Africa into a vast plantation and mining site for the profit of outsides.
    Questions 5 to 7 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
    5. What will NOT be discussed by politicians during the G8 Summit?
    6. According to Mark Doyle, why is Africa is so poor?
    7. What was the last place many Africans saw before being shipped off to a lifetime of slavery?
