The following situations suggest a strength or a weakness in internal control. Identify each as a strength or weakness​, and giv
Mkey [24]

Answer: Options A and C are strengths while options B and D are weaknesses. See explanation below.

Explanation:

a. All employees must take at least five consecutive days off each year.

This is a strength in internal control. This would help to maintain stability in operational process and ensure leave days are effectively utilized. It also prevents staff from taking the leave days in piecemeal and sporadic manner thereby disrupting the operational process and causing team instability. It is also used to ensure leave days are promptly utilised and well accounted for.

b. The accounting department orders merchandise and approves invoices for payment.

This is a weakness in internal control. There should be a check and balance in this regard. In some organizations, proper scrutiny of the vendor and invoice is done by the Procurement Unit and the Expense Control Unit respectively. Even within the accounting department, there is approval hierarchy. Also, the unit within accounting department that is making the order should not be the one to approve the transaction.

c. Cash received over the counter is controlled by the sales​ clerk, who rings up the sale and places the cash in the register. The daily sales are recorded in the accounting records by the accounting department.

This is a strength in internal control as it ensures checks and balances. Fraud and error can be detected through this means. The accounting department should verify the transactions to the relevant supporting document before recording the transaction in the system.

d. The officer who signs checks need not examine the payment packet because he is confident the amounts are correct.

This is a weakness in internal control in the sense that checks signed by the officer is binding in the court of law. The officer cannot claim ignorance if anything goes wrong. There is therefore a need for proper scrutiny and relevant questions asked before checks are signed.

Goods with many close substitutes tend to have a. more elastic demands. b. less elastic demands. c. price elasticities of demand
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. more elastic demands.

Explanation:

There are some goods whose demand is very price sensitive, small variations in their price cause large variations in the quantity demanded. It is said of them that they have elastic demand. The goods that, on the contrary, are not sensitive to price are those of inelastic or rigid demand. In these large variations in prices can occur without consumers varying the quantities they demand. The intermediate case is called unit elasticity.

The elasticity of demand is measured by calculating the percentage by which the quantity demanded of a good varies when its price varies by one percent. If the result of the operation is greater than one, the demand for that good is elastic; If the result is between zero and one, its demand is inelastic.

The factors that influence the demand for a good to be more or less elastic are:

1) Type of needs that satisfies the good. If the good is of first necessity the demand is inelastic, it is acquired whatever the price; On the other hand, if the good is luxurious, the demand will be elastic since if the price increases a little, many consumers will be able to do without it.

2) Existence of substitute goods. If there are good substitutes, the demand for good will be very elastic. For example, a small increase in the price of olive oil can cause a large number of housewives to decide to use sunflower.
