Answer:

Read the explanation below.

Explanation:

A. Luxury yatch: Not a lot of people buy Yactchs, but a lot of businesses are capable of making them. So more or less the buyer is in position to dictate terms. And asking the buyer to open a letter of credit may result in the loss of sale.

But to protect against the risk of losing payment, the seller can opt for export credit insurance. Here on advantage of export credit insurance is the exporter is more likely to make the sale in a competitive market such as this. If there is a default, the insurance should cushion the blow. However, Canada and California are not known for opaque or radically different legal systems, are not far away, and do not have linguistic or other barriers. In the event of default, the yatch is likely to be returned.

b. Machine tools. Again, one advantage is that the new yorker exporter is more likely to make the sale. The exporter's position however is strong due to the fact not lot of people make machine tools as the are hard to make and have a higher fixed costs.

Thus, letter credit is the most viable option in this case.

Which value gap refers to a company’s failure to accurately assess what customers really want?
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Service Quality Gap.

Explanation:

The Service Quality Gap refers to the difference between what a company understands a customer's desires and what must be really done to satisfy that consumer. Firms should make all the efforts in their hands to close that breach and provide the customer with the good or service they need to keep their businesses going. When the gap is not closed, the customer's loyalty fails, pushing them to look for different options in other organizations.

amm1812

Answer:

b) False

Explanation:

One of the key features of a good internal control system is the segregation of duties (SoD).

The principle of the segregation of duties entails that an individual is not allowed to initiate a transaction, review and approve the same transaction. In other words, a good internal control system would not allow an individual carry out all processes for a transaction from initiation, to authorization to approval to recording.

A system in which these responsibilities are shared mitigates against the risk of fraud and error.

Hence, in a good system of internal control, the person who initiates a transaction should be NOT be allowed to effectively control the processing of the transaction through its final inclusion in the accounting records
