Answer:
The correct answer is B. Maintenance of control over unused checks.
Explanation:
Risk of material misstatement is the risk that the financial statements contain material misstatements prior to the performance of the audit. The risk comprises two components, described as follows, in the statements:
Inherent risk - Susceptibility of a statement about a type of transaction, accounting balance or other disclosure of information to a misstatement that could be material, either individually or in aggregate with other inaccuracies, before taking into account the possible corresponding controls.
Control risk - Risk that an error that could exist in a statement about a type of transaction, accounting balance or other information relief, and that could be material either individually or in aggregate with other inaccuracies, is not prevented, or detected and corrected in a timely manner, by the entity's internal control system.
<u>D. A premium rooftop restaurant in the same city</u> will be a part of Golden Harvest's strategic group.
<u>Explanation</u>:
A 5 Star Hotel is a hotel that provides a luxury service to its customers through its operation. It is operated to serve their guest at high level. The materials, tables and each and everything used in the five-star hotel are set with high quality. They provide utmost care to their guest.
In the above scenario, Golden Harvest is the restaurant that is operated inside a five-star hotel. They provide quality dining to their customers. The customers visiting the restaurant expect only the quality and they don’t bother about the prices.
This shows that <u>a premium rooftop restaurant in the same city will be a part of Golden Harvest’s strategic group.

Answer:
Urgency / Postponement leads to customer inelastic demand of ice melt.
Explanation:
Elasticity of demand is responsive change in demand of good, due to change in price. Formula = % change in demand / % change in price
Factors Affecting Price Elasticity of Demand : Nature of commodity, Income, substitutes availability, time period, urgency / postponement, share in total expenditure,
Inelastic Demand is when demand responds proportionately less to price change. % change in demand < % change in price
Case 'Customer critically needs ice melt to drive to work' : This has inelastic demand i.e demand less respondent to price changes (he will buy that at high price too). Such because of the urgency of this demand & less scope of its postponement.
Answer:
C.
Explanation:
Stress tests are carried out to determine how financial systems would react in periods of extreme stress eg. financial or economic crisis.
Stress situations are simulated and the reaction of the financial system to the stress is measured. Based on the reactions of the financial system, steps are taken to further improve or strengthen the financial system.
The scenarios used in a stress test can be based on historical events (events that have already occurred) or hypothetical events.
Answer:
Year Cash Flow (A) Cash Flow (B)
0 -37,500 -37,500
1 17,300 5,700
2 16,200 12,900
3 13,800 16,300
4 7,600 27,500
1) Using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function:
IRR project A = 20%
IRR project B = 19%
2) Using the IRR decision rule, Bruin should choose project A.
3) In this case, since the length of the projects is only 4 years, then there should be no problem with the IRR decision rule, but for projects with longer time lengths, the discounts rates might vary and the best option is to use the modified internal rate of return (MIRR). But in this case the NPV of project B is higher, then Bruin should probably project B because it has a higher NPV. The NPV is always more important then the IRR.
4) Again using an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function:
NPV project A = $6,331
NPV project B = $8,139
5) first we must subtract cash flows from A by the cash flows from B:
1 $11,600
2 $3,300
3 -$2,500
4 -$19,900
then we calculate the IRR = 16%
Bruin should be indifferent between the two projects at a 16% discount rate. That means that at discount rates above 16%, you should choose project A, but at discount rates below 16%, you should choose project B
