Answer:
The correct answer is False.
Explanation:
Integrated business planning (IBP), which consists of synchronizing commercial, financial and supply chain plans in a single holistic administrative process, is vital to meet the evolving requirements of modern supply chains. An advanced form of sales and operations planning (S&OP) is the IBP that is increasingly being adopted in the manufacturing, distribution and service sectors. Companies that implement IBP programs in a strategic way generally exceed 20% of gross margin on average to companies that apply S&OP in a more tactical and less integrated way.
Answer:
Sales Discounts 190 debit
Allowance for Sales Discounts 190 credit
Explanation:
From the current accounts receivable, the company has 10,000 within discount period and t expect the customer will take them so:
10,000 x 2% = 200 expected discount
currenly the accouting balance for the expected discount is 10 so:
200 - 10 = 190 allowance for sales discounts adjustment.

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.
Answer:
A) leveraging new core competencies to improve current market position.
Explanation:
As is given in the scenario, the people that the company Ancho is trying to get are <em>potential customers</em> rather than existing, hence they cannot be said to be building new core competencies <em>to protect and extend current market position</em>. That would have been the case if they were trying to keep those that were already customers to the company.
Ancho cannot also be said to be <em>redeploying existing core competencies to compete in future markets </em>because they are actually acquiring new competencies in electric car manufacturing which was not their original line of business.
There is also no case of <em>unlearning existing core competencies </em>because Anchor has deployed existing competencies in developing a hybrid car rather than just an electric one.
Hence Anchor is trying to get new customers while keeping the old ones and has made a car that will appeal to both existing and potential customers to improve current market position.
