Inventories and
Cost of Goods Sold
存货丑闻
1963年,植物油价格猛跌,由于不能偿还贷款,某公司帝国彻底崩溃,致其于死地的即是公司的虚假存货。原来该公司以其高估的存货做贷款抵押,当它无力偿还贷款时,贷款人扣留了它的植物油,却发现号称的17亿磅的油实际只有1亿磅。而那个公司是将水压入植物油存储罐,油漂在水上面,很容易蒙骗核查人员。
“鱼塘里有多少鱼,我们也不知道”
蓝田股份有约20万亩大湖围养湖面及部分精养鱼池,仅水产品每年都卖几个亿,而且全都是现金交易。然而,鱼网围着的20万亩水面到底装了多少鱼?没有人能说清楚,也就没有人知道有多少存货了。
“鱼塘到底有多少鱼,到底能卖多少钱,我们只能借助专家的评估、预测。我们去的时候,也要求公司做评估。后来我们是在专家的评估判断后才签的字。”——华伦会计师事务所
请思考:
汽车销售公司的展览间里有两辆进口名车,除了红白颜色不同外,其他全部一样。红车于2月份订购,成本为￥226800,白车为3月份订购,成本为￥210600,差价由于汇率浮动所致。由于是同厂同型车,故两车的标价均为￥324000。一业务员对经理说:
“若我卖出红车,公司只赚￥97200,但如果我卖出白车,并给予客户￥5400的折扣,公司还赚￥108000。现在刚好有个客户看上了红车,但我有把握在折扣￥5400内卖白车给他,既然如此,公司多得的￥10800,是否应该与我对分。”请问:经理应做何决定?能否采纳业务员的意见?
