⇒ documentation procedures
Unless all of the company's sales take place only once a month, sales should be recorded as soon as possible. Accounting records must be as precise and accurate as possible, and they must be processed on time. Stacking invoices makes no sense, since sales might be on cash or the collection period might be very short. Who holds the money until the sales records are made?
2. Leah Hutcherson orders merchandise for Rice Lake Company; she also receives merchandise and authorizes payment for merchandise.
⇒ segregation of duties
One single person cannot be responsible for the whole process, since this creates a huge opportunity for fraud.

No company would be able survive one year, while the person in charge would get rich.
3. Several clerks at Great Foods use the same cash register drawer

Answer:
13.28%
Explanation:
return on stockholders' equity = net income after taxes and preferred stock dividends / average stockholders' equity
- net income = $1,429,000
- preferred stocks dividends = 8,000 stocks x $75 x 6% = $36,000
- average stockholders' equity = ($10,317,000 + $10,662,000) / 2 = $10,489,500
return on stockholders' equity = ($1,429,000 - $36,000) / $10,489,500 = 13.28%
