Answer:

Comparative advantage

Explanation:

The basic method to choose a country to trade with is to have a comparative advantage in products. When a country has a comparative advantage it helps to attain certain goods which are not produced domestically, and to export goods which are not produced in the other country. A comparative advantage helps to export goods and services at lower prices and better quality to attain the maximum market share in the exporting country.

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.

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Annual deposit= 13,346.55

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Exactly one year after the day he turns 75.0 when he fully retires, he will begin to make annual withdrawals of $129,100.00 from his retirement account until he turns 94.00. After this final withdrawal, he wants $1.85 million remaining in his account.

He will make contributions to his retirement account from his 26th birthday to his 65th birthday.

Assume an 8.00% interest rate.

First, we need to calculate the amount of money needed at 65.

39 years*129,100 + 1,850,000= $6,884,900

We need to calculate the value at 65:

PV= 6,884,900/(1.08^10)= $3,189,040.85

We need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (3,189,040.85*0.08)/[(1.08^39)-1]= $13,346.55
