A) 
<span>To determine the Annual Set-up Cost </span>
<span>Annual set-up cost = (# of orders placed per year) x (Setup or order cost per order)  </span><span>= Annual Demand </span><span># of units in each order ¡Á (Setup or order cost per order)  </span><span>= (D/Q) ¡Á(S) </span>
<span>           = (6000/Q) x (30) </span>
<span>
To determine Annual holding cost = Average inventory level x Holding cost per unit per year </span><span>= (Order Quantity/2) (Holding cost per unit per year) </span>
<span>                           = (Q/2) ($10.00) </span>

<span> </span>
<span>To determine Optimal order quantity is found when annual setup cost equals annual holding cost:  </span><span>(D/Q) x (S) = (Q/2) x (H) </span>
<span>                          (6,000/Q) x (30) = (Q/2) (10) </span>
<span>                                                    =(2)(6,000)(30)
                                                    = Q2 (10) </span>
<span>Q2 = [(2 ¡Á6,000 ¡Á30)/($10)]
      = 36,000 </span>
<span>       =([(2 ¡Á6,000 ¡Á30)/(10)])
       =</span><span>189.736 ¡Ö 189.74 units </span><span>
Hence, EOQ = 189.74 units </span>

<span>B)  </span>
<span>Average inventory level = (Order Quantity/2) </span>
<span>                                      = (189.74) /2
                                      = 94.87 </span>
<span>Average Inventory level =94.87 units </span>

<span>C)  </span>
<span>N= ( Demand/ order quantity)
    = (6000/ 189.736)
    =31.62 </span>
<span>Hence, the optimal number of orders per year = 31.62 </span>

<span>D) </span>
<span>T = (Number of Working Days per year) / (optimal number of orders) </span>
<span>   = 250 days per year / 31.62
   = 7.906 </span>
<span>So, the optimal number of days in between any two orders = 7.91 </span>

<span>E) </span>
<span>Using, (Q) x (H) : </span><span>(189.736 units) x ($10) =$1,897.36 </span>
<span>So, The annual cost of ordering and holding the inventory = $1,897 </span>

F)
<span>TC = setup cost + holding cost </span>
<span>      = (Dyear/Q) (S) + (Q/2) (H) </span>
<span>      = (6,000/189.74) ($30.00) + (189.74/2) ($10.00) </span>
<span>      = $948.67 + $948.7 </span>
<span>      = 1,897.37
</span><span>Purchase cost = (6,000 units) x ($100/unit)
                       = $600,000 </span>
<span>Total annual inventory cost = $600,000 + $1,897
                                            = $601,897 </span>

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

Dividends through year 1 to 5:

D1 = 2.15*(1+0.30)^1 = 2.80

D2 = 2.15*(1+0.30)^2 = 3.63

D3 = 2.15*(1+0.30)^2 * (1+0.18)^1 = 4.29

D4 = 2.15*(1+0.30)^2 * (1+0.18)^2 = 8.58

D5 = 2.15*(1+0.30)^2 * (1+0.18)^3 = 12.86

PV (D1) = 2.80

PV (D2) = 3.63 *PVIF = 3.63 * 0.87719 = 3.19

PV (D3) = 4.29 * 0.76947 = 3.30

PV (D4) = 8.58 * 0.67497 = 5.79

PV (D5) = 12.86 * 0.59208 = 7.62

Total of all PV's = 22.69

Identify the internal control weakness in the following situations. State how the person can hurt the company.
Degger [83]

Answer:

Identification of the Internal Control Weaknesses:

A.  There is no segregation of duties and there is lack of access control.  Jerry Miller as a security guard is not expected to have a master key to the cash box.  With this he can pilfer the cash.  If he prepares the report that shows the number of cars that parked on the lot, he is not supposed to also prepare the day's cash receipts.  Otherwise, he can state any number of cars as parked that he likes, and which corresponds to the cash he might leave in the Cash box since he also has a master key.

B.  There is no segregation of duties and there is lack of supervision,  proper reconciliations, and assets audit.  Sharon Fisher handles purchase transactions from the beginning to the close all alone with a third party.  This exposes the company to procurement frauds and collusion with suppliers.  She can purchase assets for the company at prices that would enrich her personally.

C. Forming an audit opinion on the basis of ratio analysis of last year's comparative financial statements exposes the company to audit risks.  While ratio analysis is part of the basis for forming audit opinions, it is surely not the first audit procedure to obtain audit evidence to support his audit opinion on the financial statements.  An auditor is expected to obtain sufficient audit evidence and perform audit substantive tests of financial statement assertions.  He or she is also expected to review the internal control system to ensure that it is operating effectively after establishing its existence and reviewing changes in internal controls.

Explanation:

Internal Controls are controls established by management in order to help it achieve business goals.  There are many internal controls, including Separation of Duties, Access Controls , Authorization and Approvals, Asset Audits, Reconciliations, and Data Backups.  The purposes of internal controls are to establish the reliability of financial reporting, ensure timely feedback on the achievement of operational or strategic goals, and achieve compliance with financial management laws, and accounting regulations.
