Answer: Fictitious refunds
Explanation:
A fictitious refund scheme, occurs when a fraudster processes a transaction to look as if a customer was returning a merchandise, even though there was no actual return. While some fraudsters create an entirely fictitious refund, other fraudsters just overstate the amount of a legitimate refund that took place and steal the excess money.
Billy Mitchell covering his gambling debts, issuing several refund credits to his personal credit card for amounts that were below the store’s review limit is an example of fictitious refund scheme.
Answer:
(a) 242,500 units
(b) 267,500 units
Explanation:
(a) Break-even point in sales units:
= Fixed costs ÷ (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit)
= $4,850,000 ÷ ($80 - $60)
= 242,500 units
(b) Break even point in sales units if the company desires a target profit of $500,000:
= (Fixed cost + Target profit) ÷ (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit)
= ($4,850,000 + $500,000) ÷ ($80 - $60)
= $5,350,000 ÷ $20
= 267,500 units
Let x be the part of 19,000 that was loaned out at 6% such that the remaining 19,000 - x was loaned out at 14%. The interest is calculated by the equation,
I = P x i x n
where P is the principal amount, i is the interest, n is the number of years. Substituting the known values,
2000 = (x)(0.06) + (19000 - x)(0.14)
The value of x from the equation above is 8250.
Hence, 8,250 was loaned out at 6%.
Answer:
a. The company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.
Explanation:
If on its 2008 balance sheet, Sherman Books showed a balance of retained earnings equal to $510 million, and on its 2009 balance sheet, the balance of retained earnings was also equal to $510 million; then what is true is that the company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.
Retained earnings is the profit amount or net income left over and taken back into the business after it has paid out dividends to its shareholders.
However it is unlikely that the company will pay out the entire amount it earns in a particular year but a percentage of earnings.
In the case of Sherman, it is unlikely that the company made a profit of $200 million and paid out every bit as dividends to shareholders but what is most likely is that there was no profit made for retention in 2009
