Answer:

Oligopoly

Explanation:

An oligopoly is a market structure which is caracterized by having few competitors and each one has market power to change the equilibrium price or quantity. According to this, Henry´s competitor had the market power to reduce the price of his products. Also, it might be some barries to entry (to the market) and that is why the problem states that Henry had to do a huge investment (not everyone can do it).

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Items of Cash : Cash and Till float

Risks : Fraud and Theft

Controls : Segregation of duties over the receipt and recording of money and Every cashier should only be responsible for his own funds.

Test of Controls : Do a surprise cash count and Enquire about and observe the controls over cash by management

Explanation:

Bank and cash transactions occur on a daily basis in all businesses. Although the cash and bank balances may not individually be significant, annually the volume of cash and payment transactions and bank deposits can be significant to the entity.

Items of Cash

Cash balances comprise the following:

  • Cash
  • Petty cash
  • Till float
  • Unbanked receipts

Risks

Cash is highly susceptible to fraud and theft by employees, often in collusion with third parties.

To mitigate this risk related to cash balances, management will usually implement strict control policies and procedures for cash handling and recording.

Controls in the bank and cash cycle can be divided into 2 categories:

  • Basic controls
  • Controls over cash

Basic Controls

  • Segregation of duties over the receipt and recording of money.
  • Different forms of cash (sales, petty cash, cash loans) should be kept separately and recorded separately.
  • Proper stationery control. Receipts, cash sales slips/invoices must be numerically recorded
  • Safeguarding of money. Cash must be locked in a Volt and deposited as soon as possible. You would also need control over the key to the Volt.

Control over Cash

  • Cashier must balance cash on a daily basis and must compare it with the source documents (receipt, cash invoices, cash register totals) and record it on a cash receipt summary. The Cash Receipt Summary must be Signed by the Cashier, Independently reviewed by the Senior Official.
  • Every cashier should only be responsible for his own funds. Usually during lunch. Cash registers must be locked away.
  • Every cashier should be responsible for his own float. They should lock in Cash Drawer.
  • Supervision over cashiers. Through the use of Cameras.
  • Cash must be banked as soon as possible.

Audit approach for testing these accounts

  • Enquire about and observe the controls over cash by management.
  • Do a surprise cash count (also attend on a surprise basis the daily balancing of cash). In the presence of a Cashier who signs back of the receipt, agree the cash with the supporting documentation (receipts, cash invoices, cash register total) and follow the float through to the balance in the ledger.
  • At a later stage follow the cash counted through to deposit slip, and agree it with the cash counted, ensure they are banked timeously and follow the total of the deposit slip through to the cash book and bank statement.

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Total Equivalent Units  direct materials     25200  

Total Equivalent Units  conversion costs   20,000

Explanation:

Baltimore Company

Beginning work in process inventory  9,500 units

Units Started 25,200 units

Less Ending WIP inventory 8,600 units

Units Finished   16,600

Particulars         Units           % of Completion         Equivalent Units

                                     Mat. Conversion Costs     Mat. Conversion Costs

Ending W. I.P,    8600         100        (40%)            8,600       3440

<u>Completed        16,600       100         100             16,600        16,600</u>

<u>  Total Equivalent Units                                          25200      20,000</u>

First we find the Completed Units by subtracting the ending work in process from the units started. The Equivalents units can be calculated by either adding the beginning work in process and units started or by adding Ending Wip and completed  units.  By doing the both calculations we get the same number of equivalent units.
