Answer: Razor and blade strategy
Explanation:
The Razor Blade Model is a model that is used by companies to deeply discount or give away a core product hoping that the consumers will buy the more expensive and complementary dependent products.
The razor and blades business model is a model whereby one item is sold at a cheaper price or sometimes given for free so as to increase the sales of its complementary good.

Fixed cost is cost that does not vary with output. It is cost that is incurred regardless of the units of output produced

a. a discount of 2 percent will be allowed if the invoice is paid within 10 days of the invoice date.
So for example if the bill is $100 "2/10 net 30" and you pay within 10 days, you get a 20 cent discount and the balance is $9.80. If you pay in 30 days, the full 10 dollars is due.
Answer:
Identification of the Internal Control Weaknesses:
A. There is no segregation of duties and there is lack of access control. Jerry Miller as a security guard is not expected to have a master key to the cash box. With this he can pilfer the cash. If he prepares the report that shows the number of cars that parked on the lot, he is not supposed to also prepare the day's cash receipts. Otherwise, he can state any number of cars as parked that he likes, and which corresponds to the cash he might leave in the Cash box since he also has a master key.
B. There is no segregation of duties and there is lack of supervision, proper reconciliations, and assets audit. Sharon Fisher handles purchase transactions from the beginning to the close all alone with a third party. This exposes the company to procurement frauds and collusion with suppliers. She can purchase assets for the company at prices that would enrich her personally.
C. Forming an audit opinion on the basis of ratio analysis of last year's comparative financial statements exposes the company to audit risks. While ratio analysis is part of the basis for forming audit opinions, it is surely not the first audit procedure to obtain audit evidence to support his audit opinion on the financial statements. An auditor is expected to obtain sufficient audit evidence and perform audit substantive tests of financial statement assertions. He or she is also expected to review the internal control system to ensure that it is operating effectively after establishing its existence and reviewing changes in internal controls.
Explanation:
Internal Controls are controls established by management in order to help it achieve business goals. There are many internal controls, including Separation of Duties, Access Controls
, Authorization and Approvals, Asset Audits, Reconciliations, and Data Backups. The purposes of internal controls are to establish the reliability of financial reporting, ensure timely feedback on the achievement of operational or strategic goals, and achieve compliance with financial management laws, and accounting regulations.
