The separating of recordkeeping from the custody of assets a limitation of an internal control system because:

In example above, fraud could occur only if the two employees collude (agree to work together to commit fraud)
Employee maintaining accounting records has no incentive to falsify records.
Employee controlling asset will know if another person is maintaining records or not.
The employee who controls/has access to an asset should not maintain that asset's accounting records.

<h3>What is meant by Internal Control?</h3>

Internal controls are the mechanisms, rules, and procedures implemented by a corporation to ensure the integrity of financial and accounting information, promote accountability, and stop fraud.
Internal controls can help improve operational efficiency by improving the accuracy and timeliness of financial reporting, besides complying with laws and regulations and preventing employees from stealing assets or committing fraud.

Virty [35]

Answer:

$70$ tickets were sold to student and $130$ tickets were sold to adults

Explanation:

Let the number of tickets purchased by students be "X" and the number of tickets purchased by adults be "Y"

Given

Total number of tickets sold $= 200$

Total amount collected by selling $200$ tickets $= 1485$ dollar

Cost of one ticket of student $= 4.5$ dollar

Cost of one ticket of adult $=$ 9 dollar

Two equation are as follows

$X + Y = 200\\$ ------Eq (1)

$4.5 X + 9 Y =1485$ -------- Eq (2)

Multiplying eq (1) by 9 and subtracting from equation 2 we get

$4.5 X - 9 X + 9Y -9Y = 1485 - (200* 9)\\-4.5 X = -315\\X = 70$

Substituting the value of X in equation 1 we get

$70 + Y = 200\\Y = 200 -70 \\Y = 130$

Therefore, $70$ tickets were sold to student and $130$ tickets were sold to adults

In applying the high-low method, what is the fixed cost? month miles total cost january 80,000 $144,000 february 50,000 120,000

kupik [55]

The high and low levels of activity are 90,000 miles in April and 50,000 miles in February. The costs at these two levels are $195,000 and $120,000, re-spectively. The difference in costs is $75,000 ($195000-120000), and the difference in miles is 40,000 (90000-50000). Therefore, variable cost per unit is $1.875computed as follows.
75000÷40000=1.875

Determine the fixed costs by subtracting the total variable costs at either the high or the low activity level from the total cost at that activity level
Variable cost=1.875×50,000=93,750

fixed cost=120,000−93,750=26,250

Answer:

If the money supply is MS2 and the value of money is 5, then the quantity of money

a. demanded is greater than the quantity supplied; the price level will rise.

Explanation:

If the money supplied is greater than the quantity demanded; the price level will fall. The quantity theory of money, popularized by Irving Fisher but developed by John Maynard Keynes, states that the value of money is influenced by the forces of demand and supply. This theory implies that money supply and price level proportionally influence each other.
