However, sales were slow and the company granted more liberal return privilege terms than in the prior year. Officers wanted to generate significant income to impress First Bank and to preserve the company dividend ($120,000 paid in the prior year). The production managers had targeted inventory levels for a 4.0 turnover ratio and were largely successful even though prices of materials and supplies had risen about 2 percent relative to sales dollar volume. The new facilities were depreciated using a 25-year life from the date of opening. Dunder-Mifflin Inc. has now produced the current-year financial statements Exhibit 4.56.1. Current Year column) for the auditors' work on the current audit. Required: Perform preliminary analytical procedures on the current-year unaudited financial statements for the purpose of identifying accounts that could contain errors or frauds. Use your knowledge of Dunder-Mifflin Inc. and the forecast in Exhibit 4.56.1. Calculate comparative and common-size financial statements as well as relevant ratios. (Assume that the market value of the equity for the company is $3 million) Once your calculations are complete, identify the accounts that could be misstated
