  2012年注冊會計師《職業(yè)能力綜合測試二》(A卷)

  資料(一):

  華盛商業(yè)股份有限公司(以下簡稱華盛股份)是一家在上海證券交易所上市的大型商業(yè)企業(yè)。華盛集團(tuán)有限公司是華盛股份的第一大股東,是甲省國資委控股的國有企業(yè)。華盛股份及其下屬子公司的主營業(yè)務(wù)包括百貨、超市、專業(yè)產(chǎn)品連鎖店、餐飲、房地產(chǎn)等。

  華光眼鏡有限公司(以下簡稱華光眼鏡)是華盛股份的全資子公司,成立于上世紀(jì)70年代。華光眼鏡從上世紀(jì)90年代末開始拓展眼鏡零售連鎖網(wǎng)絡(luò),是國內(nèi)較早從事眼鏡連鎖專賣的企業(yè)。經(jīng)過多年的發(fā)展,華光眼鏡的市場份額占據(jù)省內(nèi)第一、全國第五的位置。2005年末,華光眼鏡在全國擁有超過100家連鎖店,其中80%在甲省及周邊地區(qū)。

  華光眼鏡的核心管理團(tuán)隊在連鎖經(jīng)營領(lǐng)域有著豐富的經(jīng)驗,尤其在店鋪選址方面。華光眼鏡在甲省各大核心商業(yè)區(qū)的黃金地段都擁有位置優(yōu)越的店鋪。由于其較長的經(jīng)營歷史和嚴(yán)格的質(zhì)量控制,華光眼鏡店在消費者心目中享有良好的聲譽。

  截至2005年末,中國零售行業(yè)已連續(xù)十年保持高速增長,復(fù)合年增長率達(dá)12.9%。管理層預(yù)期“十一五”期間零售行業(yè)將繼續(xù)保持兩位數(shù)的增長速度。各大零售企業(yè)出于對行業(yè)前景的良好預(yù)期,普遍迅速擴(kuò)張,形成了活躍的競爭態(tài)勢。

  隨著人們生活水平的提高和消費能力的增強(qiáng),消費者除了重視眼鏡的基本功能外,還越來越重視美觀時尚。尤其是年輕人,不再等眼鏡壞了才購買新的,而會頻繁地更換新的款式。這一趨勢引起華光眼鏡總經(jīng)理趙剛的重視。2006年初,趙剛召集各部門開會,研究如何更好地把握市場動態(tài),抓住潛在增長機(jī)遇。趙剛要求財務(wù)部利用過去3年的財務(wù)和業(yè)務(wù)數(shù)據(jù),分析目前華光眼鏡對年輕客戶群的銷售情況。

  資料(二):

  新上任的財務(wù)總監(jiān)王紅發(fā)現(xiàn)公司的財務(wù)系統(tǒng)只能按照鏡片、鏡框、隱形眼鏡、太陽鏡等產(chǎn)品類別分析銷售數(shù)據(jù),不能按照客戶群類別進(jìn)行分析;而業(yè)務(wù)系統(tǒng)雖然擁有每一單銷售的詳細(xì)產(chǎn)品信息和客戶信息,卻無法將銷售單中的信息按照特定產(chǎn)品類別或客戶群直接進(jìn)行數(shù)據(jù)匯總。此外,經(jīng)多方了解,王紅發(fā)現(xiàn)公司財務(wù)和業(yè)務(wù)系統(tǒng)的功能都落后于競爭對手。例如,財務(wù)系統(tǒng)的功能主要是會計記賬和核算,財務(wù)分析功能則比較薄弱,不能提供有效的財務(wù)分析和管理用財務(wù)報表供內(nèi)部管理和決策使用。王紅決定向總經(jīng)理指出這一問題,建議改進(jìn)公司的管理信息系統(tǒng)。

  通過對大量數(shù)據(jù)的手工匯總,財務(wù)部終于完成針對年輕客戶群的銷售情況分析。分析發(fā)現(xiàn),雖然華光眼鏡整體銷售收入在過去三年以平均每年10%左右的速度增長,但從20-30歲客戶群所得的銷售收入呈每年3 ~ 5%左右的下降。另外,市場部從最近的一次品牌形象問卷調(diào)查中獲悉,受訪者普遍認(rèn)為華光的品牌給人以高質(zhì)量和傳統(tǒng)沉穩(wěn)的形象,但與年輕消費者追求美觀時尚的消費需求有較大的差距。

  資料(三) :

  華光眼鏡管理層通過研究和分析,提出一項新的市場開發(fā)戰(zhàn)略――“明天”戰(zhàn)略:針對年輕消費者追求美觀時尚的習(xí)慣,以全新的理念打造 “明天”品牌的新門店,通過“華光”和新“明天”兩個業(yè)務(wù)線的市場細(xì)分,更好地抓住增長機(jī)遇。管理層意識到要獲得消費者對“明天”店的認(rèn)同,需要應(yīng)對新的挑戰(zhàn)。管理層對新戰(zhàn)略很有信心,制定了詳細(xì)的業(yè)務(wù)計劃書,“明天”戰(zhàn)略獲得了董事會的支持。

  為了配合新戰(zhàn)略的實施,公司計劃將原來職能制組織結(jié)構(gòu)調(diào)整為矩陣制組織結(jié)構(gòu)(見下圖),任命兩名業(yè)務(wù)總監(jiān)分別負(fù)責(zé)華光和明天這兩個業(yè)務(wù)線。

  面對新戰(zhàn)略實施給企業(yè)內(nèi)部帶來的變革,總經(jīng)理趙剛意識到變革管理的重要性。在與各部門管理人員的交流中,他發(fā)現(xiàn)大家有三方面的擔(dān)憂,一是擔(dān)心組織機(jī)構(gòu)調(diào)整對個人職位的影響;二是擔(dān)心現(xiàn)有的經(jīng)驗?zāi)芊襁m應(yīng)新業(yè)務(wù)的要求;三是擔(dān)心新業(yè)務(wù)對個人績效評價的影響。趙剛在了解這些情況后,立即召集主要管理人員專門成立一個變革管理小組。

  2006年8月第一家“明天”門店開張。截至2008年末,華光眼鏡累計新開“明天”門店20家,對原有的“華光”門店形成了有效的補(bǔ)充。

  在此期間,財務(wù)總監(jiān)王紅提出改進(jìn)公司管理信息系統(tǒng)的方案也得到華光眼鏡管理層的支持,并獲得董事會的批準(zhǔn)。經(jīng)過兩年的不斷改進(jìn)和創(chuàng)新,公司的財務(wù)和業(yè)務(wù)系統(tǒng)的各項功能有了顯著增強(qiáng),對公司日常業(yè)務(wù)分析和經(jīng)營決策提供了有力的支持。

  資料(四):

  2009年對國內(nèi)零售業(yè)來說是充滿挑戰(zhàn)的一年。受2008年下半年開始的金融危機(jī)的影響,華光眼鏡暫時放緩擴(kuò)張速度,放慢增開新店的步伐,轉(zhuǎn)而專注于提升內(nèi)部經(jīng)營效率。

  在金融危機(jī)期間,國內(nèi)零售業(yè)的大企業(yè)和上市公司的資金狀況相對樂觀,但數(shù)量眾多的中小零售企業(yè)資金鏈出現(xiàn)緊張。由于自有資金匱乏,以往業(yè)務(wù)擴(kuò)張的現(xiàn)金流出大大超出經(jīng)營利潤所產(chǎn)生的現(xiàn)金流入,融資結(jié)構(gòu)高度依賴短期負(fù)債,面臨巨大的資金壓力。部分中小企業(yè)迫切尋求新的投資者。在這一背景下,華盛股份董事會認(rèn)為自身財務(wù)狀況良好,資產(chǎn)負(fù)債率低于行業(yè)平均水平,鑒于國內(nèi)零售行業(yè)未來發(fā)展空間巨大,希望借此時機(jī)通過并購進(jìn)一步拓展其零售網(wǎng)絡(luò)。為此,華盛股份特聘業(yè)內(nèi)知名英國籍老師科林(Colin)先生為企業(yè)發(fā)展和投資高級顧問?屏窒壬趤喼蘖闶坌袠I(yè)從業(yè)超過30年,在投資和并購領(lǐng)域有著豐富的經(jīng)驗。

  華盛股份經(jīng)初步篩選,確定乙省的南風(fēng)眼鏡有限公司(以下簡稱南風(fēng)眼鏡)為主要潛在并購目標(biāo)。

  南風(fēng)眼鏡是陳南夫婦于2001年設(shè)立的眼鏡連鎖店,并逐漸形成零售網(wǎng)絡(luò)。陳南先生持有南風(fēng)眼鏡85%的股權(quán),其余15%股權(quán)由陳南先生的妻子張曉女士持有。由于陳南夫婦的兒子無意繼承南風(fēng)眼鏡的生意,又遭遇金融危機(jī)資金鏈緊張,陳南夫婦有意將南風(fēng)眼鏡出售給業(yè)內(nèi)實力雄厚的公司,希望能夠繼續(xù)發(fā)展南風(fēng)眼鏡業(yè)務(wù)。

  南風(fēng)眼鏡自設(shè)立起便迅速擴(kuò)張,至2009年中已擁有100多家連鎖店,全部分布在乙省,是乙省最大的眼鏡店連鎖企業(yè)。南風(fēng)眼鏡以大學(xué)生和中青年白領(lǐng)為目標(biāo)客戶群,其品牌形象以專業(yè)時尚著稱。由于陳南夫婦在創(chuàng)辦南風(fēng)眼鏡之前曾從事多年的進(jìn)出口貿(mào)易,經(jīng)驗多人脈廣,擁有優(yōu)質(zhì)的采購渠道,常常能獲得比其他商家更優(yōu)惠的采購價格和付款條件。此外,南風(fēng)眼鏡除了外購產(chǎn)品,還通過當(dāng)?shù)貛准夜S貼牌生產(chǎn)自有品牌的鏡框以降低成本,以低廉價格吸引消費能力相對較弱的學(xué)生群體。

  華盛股份經(jīng)過綜合分析,認(rèn)為收購南風(fēng)眼鏡可以和華光眼鏡產(chǎn)生協(xié)同效應(yīng),符合總體并購戰(zhàn)略。

  經(jīng)初步評估和談判,華盛股份和陳南夫婦于2009年8月30日簽訂《收購意向書》。《收購意向書》約定,按照南風(fēng)眼鏡提供的現(xiàn)金流量預(yù)測和假設(shè),南風(fēng)眼鏡將其估值初步評估為3.15億。估值的主要假設(shè)在收購意向書附件一中列明(見下表)。具體的股權(quán)收購比例和最終交易價格將待盡職調(diào)查完成后進(jìn)一步調(diào)整確定。

  根據(jù)資料四、資料五和資料六的有關(guān)信息,采用實體現(xiàn)金流量模型計算收購南風(fēng)眼鏡90%股權(quán)的價格金額(需分步驟列出計算過程);并簡要說明為什么實務(wù)中估計企業(yè)價值大多使用實體現(xiàn)金流量模型而非股權(quán)現(xiàn)金流量模型。

  根據(jù)資料五,假設(shè)南風(fēng)眼鏡B類門店固定成本中的租金保持不變,但通過相關(guān)改進(jìn)措施可使B類門店固定成本中的人工費用和其他費用分別下降15%,計算分析B類門店銷售收入需平均增長百分之幾才能達(dá)到B類門店的盈虧平衡。

  簡要說明:(1)與普通債券以及普通股相比,可轉(zhuǎn)換債券籌資的優(yōu)缺點;(2)上市公司發(fā)行可轉(zhuǎn)換債券,除了應(yīng)當(dāng)符合增發(fā)股票的一般條件之外,還應(yīng)符合哪些條件。

  根據(jù)華盛股份2009年度利潤分配及資本公積轉(zhuǎn)增股本方案,分別計算實施該項利潤分配及資本公積轉(zhuǎn)增股本方案對華盛股份的股本、資本公積及未分配利潤的影響金額;并簡要說明:(1)公司法關(guān)于公積金的提取有哪些規(guī)定; (2)按照公司法規(guī)定,公積金有哪些用途。

  In early 2011, Mr. Colin heard from a friend that the landlord of the largest store of Hua Guang Optical (華光眼鏡) was considering whether to sell the building (where the store was located) to another company for Rmb22 million. The existing lease contract between Hua Guang Optical and the landlord will expire by the end of 2013. Mr. Colin was not familiar with the relevant laws in China. Therefore, he wrote an email to Sky Consulting to consult on (i) whether the existing lease contract will be terminated because of the sale of the building by the landlord; (ii) whether Hua Guang Optical should offer the landlord more than Rmb22 million if Hua Guang Optical wants to buy the building; and (iii) whether the landlord can sell the building without letting Hua Guang Optical know about that. On behalf of Sky Consulting, please write an email to reply to Mr. Colin.

  7. 根據(jù)資料四、資料五和資料六的有關(guān)信息,采用實體現(xiàn)金流量模型計算收購南風(fēng)眼鏡90%股權(quán)的價格金額(需分步驟列出計算過程);并簡要說明為什么實務(wù)中估計企業(yè)價值大多使用實體現(xiàn)金流量模型而非股權(quán)現(xiàn)金流量模型。(5.5分)

  答:收購南風(fēng)眼鏡90%股權(quán)的價格計算步驟如下:

  (1)扣減少計的凈投資,經(jīng)調(diào)整后預(yù)測期各年實體現(xiàn)金流量為:1100萬,1115萬,1260萬,1315萬,1667萬

  (2)經(jīng)調(diào)整后預(yù)測期現(xiàn)金流量現(xiàn)值為:1100*0.8929+1115*0.7972+1260*0.7118+1315*0.6355+1667*0.5674=4549.47萬

  (3)經(jīng)調(diào)整后后續(xù)期現(xiàn)金流量現(xiàn)值為:1667*(1+5%)÷(12%-5%)*0.5674=14187.84萬

  (4)實體價值=4549.47+14187.84=18737.31萬

  (5)凈債務(wù)價值=4000+3000+450=7450萬,或凈債務(wù)價值=4000+3000+450-485=6965萬

  (6)90%股權(quán)的收購價格為:(18737.31-7450)*90%=10158.58萬元,或90%股權(quán)的收購價格為:(18737.31-6965)*90%=10595.08萬元

  在實務(wù)中大多使用實體現(xiàn)金流量模型,主要是因為用以計算股權(quán)現(xiàn)金流量現(xiàn)值的股權(quán)成本受資本結(jié)構(gòu)的影響較大,估計起來比較復(fù)雜。比如債務(wù)增加時,風(fēng)險上升,股權(quán)成本會上升,而上升的幅度不容易測算。

  而用以計算實體現(xiàn)金流量現(xiàn)值的加權(quán)平均資本成本則受資本結(jié)構(gòu)的影響較小,其中債務(wù)成本的變化和股權(quán)成本的相應(yīng)變化基本上能互相抵消,所以平均資本成本對資本結(jié)構(gòu)變化不敏感,在實務(wù)當(dāng)中比較容易估計。

  8. 根據(jù)資料五,假設(shè)南風(fēng)眼鏡B類門店固定成本中的租金保持不變,但通過相關(guān)改進(jìn)措施可使B類門店固定成本中的人工費用和其他費用分別下降15%,計算分析B類門店銷售收入需平均增長百分之幾才能達(dá)到B類門店的盈虧平衡。(4分)

  答:盈虧平衡分析:

  B類店單店月平均固定成本=2.9+1.9*85%+1.2*85%=5.54萬

  變動成本率=3.3÷8.3=39.76%

  盈虧平衡點銷售收入=5.54÷(1-39.76%)=9.20萬

  增長百分比=9.20÷8.3-1=10.84%。B類店需增長10.84%的銷售才能達(dá)到盈虧平衡。

  9. 簡要說明:(1)與普通債券以及普通股相比,可轉(zhuǎn)換債券籌資的優(yōu)缺點;(2)上市公司發(fā)行可轉(zhuǎn)換債券,除了應(yīng)當(dāng)符合增發(fā)股票的一般條件之外,還應(yīng)符合哪些條件。(4分)

  答:(1)可轉(zhuǎn)債優(yōu)缺點:

  優(yōu)點:

  ①與普通債券相比,可轉(zhuǎn)債券使公司能以較低的利率先取得資金。由于票面利率低于同一條件下的普通債券利率,降低了前期籌資成本。

 、谂c普通股相比,可轉(zhuǎn)債券使公司取得了以高于當(dāng)前股價出售普通股的可能性。在發(fā)行新股時機(jī)不理想時,可先發(fā)可轉(zhuǎn)債,然后通過轉(zhuǎn)換實現(xiàn)較高價格的股權(quán)籌資。

  不至于因為直接發(fā)行新股而進(jìn)一步降低股票市價,而且由于轉(zhuǎn)換期較長,轉(zhuǎn)股時對股價的影響也較溫和,有利于穩(wěn)定股票。

  缺點:

  ①股價上漲風(fēng)險。雖然可轉(zhuǎn)債的轉(zhuǎn)換價格高于其發(fā)行時的股價,但如果轉(zhuǎn)換時股價大幅上漲,公司只能以較低的固定轉(zhuǎn)換價格換出股票,會降低公司的股權(quán)籌資額。

 、诠蓛r低迷風(fēng)險。發(fā)行可轉(zhuǎn)債,如股價沒有達(dá)到轉(zhuǎn)股所需要的水平,可轉(zhuǎn)債持有者沒有如期轉(zhuǎn)股,則公司只能繼續(xù)承擔(dān)債務(wù)。尤其在有回售條款的情況下,公司短期集中償債壓力大。尤其有些公司發(fā)行可轉(zhuǎn)債的目的是為了籌集權(quán)益資本,股價低迷會使其原定目標(biāo)無法實現(xiàn)。

  ③總籌資成本高于普通債券。盡管可轉(zhuǎn)債的票面利率低于普通債券,但是考慮轉(zhuǎn)股成本后的總籌資成本要高于普通債券。

  (2)除了符合增發(fā)股票的一般條件外,發(fā)行可轉(zhuǎn)債還需符合的條件:

 、僮罱3個會計年度加權(quán)平均凈資產(chǎn)收益率平均不低于6%?鄢墙(jīng)常性損益后的凈利潤與扣除前的凈利潤相比以低者作為計算依據(jù);

  ②本次發(fā)行后累計公司債券余額不超過最近一期期末凈資產(chǎn)額的40%;

 、圩罱3個會計年度實現(xiàn)的年均可分配利潤不少于公司債券1年的利息。

  10. 根據(jù)華盛股份2009年度利潤分配及資本公積轉(zhuǎn)增股本方案,分別計算實施該項利潤分配及資本公積轉(zhuǎn)增股本方案對華盛股份的股本、資本公積及未分配利潤的影響金額;并簡要說明:(1)公司法關(guān)于公積金的提取有哪些規(guī)定; (2)按照公司法規(guī)定,公積金有哪些用途。(4分)

  答:實施該項利潤分配及資本公積轉(zhuǎn)增股本方案對華盛股份的股本、資本公積及未分配利潤的影響金額計算如下:

  股本增加50000*0.2+50000*0.4 = 30000萬元

  資本公積減少50000*0.4 = 20000萬元

  未分配利潤減少50000*0.1+50000*0.2 =15000萬

  (1)公積金提取的規(guī)定:

 、俜ǘüe金按抵減年初累計虧損后的本年凈利潤按10%的比例提取,當(dāng)法定公積金累計額達(dá)到公司注冊資本50%時可不再繼續(xù)提取。

  ②任意公積金按照公司股東大會的決議提取。

 、酃救绻麤]有提取法定公積金之前就向股東分配利潤的,必須將違反規(guī)定發(fā)放的利潤退還給公司。

  (2)公司法規(guī)定的公積金用途:

 、購浹a(bǔ)虧損。盈余公積(包括法定盈余公積和任意盈余公積)可以用以彌補(bǔ)虧損,但是資本公積不得用于彌補(bǔ)公司虧損。

 、跀U(kuò)大生產(chǎn)經(jīng)營。盈余公積和資本公積均可做此項用途。

  ③轉(zhuǎn)增資本。用法定公積金轉(zhuǎn)增資本時,轉(zhuǎn)增后留存的法定公積金不得少于轉(zhuǎn)增前公司注冊資本的25%;對于任意公積金和資本公積轉(zhuǎn)增資本則沒有比例限制。

  11. In early 2011, Mr. Colin heard from a friend that the landlord of the largest store of Hua Guang Optical (華光眼鏡) was considering whether to sell the building (where the store was located) to another company for Rmb22 million. The existing lease contract between Hua GuangOptical and the landlord will expire by the end of 2013. Mr. Colin was not familiar with the relevant laws in China. Therefore, he wrote an email to Sky Consulting to consult on (i) whether the existing lease contract will be terminated because of the sale of the building by the landlord;

  (ii) whether Hua Guang Optical should offer the landlord more than Rmb22 million if Hua Guang Optical wants to buy the building; and (iii)whether the landlord can sell the building without letting Hua Guang Optical know about that. On behalf of Sky Consulting, please write an email to reply to Mr. Colin. (2.5 分)

  Answer:

  (i) Change of ownership of the property does not impair the validity of the existing lease contract. So the existing contract will continue to be valid before it expires

  by the end of 2013.

  (ii) Under same terms, lessee has the priority to buy the property. So Hua Guang Optical does not have to offer a higher price.

  (iii) worried that landlord sell the building without letting them know. The landlord should give the lessee a reasonable notice period before selling the building. If

  the landlord sells the building without notifying the lessee, the lessee can ask landlord for indemnification of any losses caused.

  12. On behalf of Li (李琳), please write an email to Mr. Colin to (1) explain whether Su (蘇小青) can join the audit engagement team; and (2)explain the general principles in judging whether Gong Xin Accounting Firm (公信) can provide the advisory service to Nan Feng Optical (南風(fēng)眼鏡), and seek further clarification from Mr. Colin regarding the nature of the advisory service required. (8分)

  Answer:

  Dear Mr. Colin,

  Thanks for letting me know that the former deputy finance manager, Su, of Nan Feng Optical has recently joined our firm. I am afraid that Su can’t join the

  engagement team; it will impair audit independence. According to the CICPA ethical guidelines, the fact that an audit team member was recently a director, senior

  officer, or employee in certain special positions of the audit client, may create self-interest, self-review, or familiarity threats. Examples of special positions

  mentioned above include an employee in the finance department of the audit client who prepared certain accounting records, on which the firm will audit and

  express opinion. The ethical guidelines further states that if an audit team member was in such a position during the period covered by the audit engagement, the

  threat to independence is consider so serious that no safeguards could possibly reduce the threat to an acceptable level. So the only solution is to remove him/her

  from the engagement team. Therefore, I am afraid Su cannot be a member of the audit engagement team of Nan Feng Optical.

  Regarding the advisory service you mentioned in your email, first of all, thank you very much for considering Gong Xin CPA. I need to know more details of

  the nature of the service you require before I can draw a definitive conclusion on whether we, as the auditor, are allowed to provide such advisory service.

  The CICPA ethical guidelines have provided general principles to assess whether the provision of non-assurance services might create self-review threat

  against our audit independence. In general, we should make sure not to take any management roles, such as the design and implementation of internal controls.

  Usually, providing professional advices and comments is not regarded as management role. To avoid taking management role, we need to ensure that client’s

  management team makes decisions, evaluates service results, and take responsibility for actions taken following the service results.

  In relation to the improvement of Nan Feng Optical’s management analysis system, I wish to clarify with you on the following questions, in order to help me

  understand the nature of the service required. (1)Is the management analysis system a critical part of the financial reporting and internal control? Does the

  information generated from the management analysis system has material impact on the accounting records or financial statements to be audited? If the answer

  to either of the questions is yes, then we are not allowed to provide any service in relation to the design and implementation of such system (as Nan Feng Optical

  is a subsidiary of a public company). (2)What is the nature of the specific advisory service that you expect us to provide? It is generally fine for us to provide

  comments and suggestions on the system that was designed and implemented by you or other service providers.
