Mr. Blatt: Expert consultants are sought after by management because they help executives make better decisions. That is why the

y are worth the substantial fees they charge.
Ms. Fring: Nonsense. Expert consultants are hired in order to enable executives to avoid responsibility. The more the experts cost, the more they can be blamed when things go wrong.
Which one of the following, if it occurred, would be the strongest evidence favoring Ms. Fring’s position over Mr. Blatt’s position?
(A) A company that is trying to decide whether to move its manufacturing plant hires an expensive expert to conduct a cost/benefit analysis.
(B) Two competing companies faced with very similar problems adopt different solutions, one with the help of a consultant, one without.
(C) A successful firm of expert consultants seeks to increase its volume of business by reducing its fees, but its volume of business drops.
(D) An expert consultant builds up a successful business by charging clients a substantial percentage of the amount an independent assessor judges that the consultant saved the company.
(E) A company follows a consultant’s advice to open two new stores, but both stores are only marginally profitable at first.

Answer: C) A successful firm of expert consultants seeks to increase its volume of business by reducing its fees, but its volume of business drops.

Explanation:

Mr. Fringe says that the more expensive a consultant is, the more they can be blamed. This means that the kor expensive a consultant is, the more they will be sought after in order for the company to blame them.

When a successful firm of consultant reduced their prices and became cheaper, less people wanted to hire them. This therefore supports the logic of Mr. Fringe as a lower cost led to the consultants being less sought after.

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

a) Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue

Explanation:

A financial fraud refers to misrepresentation of financial data by inflating or reducing a figure amount with the motive to deceive the users of the financial statements and thereby depict better financial position and state of affairs.

The above concept is also referred to as window dressing of accounts.

In the given case, the purpose behind increasing the value of inventory and creation of miscellaneous expense account is to depict fake financial picture. With an increase in the inventory balance, the profits would be inflated. Crediting miscellaneous expenses again would reduce expenses balances and further inflate the profits.

Thus, Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue when she blindly directed her staff to incorporate such changes.

Mrac [35]

Answer:

<em> 334 units </em><em>sales increase during the month must be required to justify the contemplated expenditure</em>

Explanation:

If management proposes an increase in monthly promotional costs (which is a fixed cost), then the units required to at least cover these extra fixed costs (break -even) must be determined.

<em>Break -even (units) = Fixed Cost / Contribution per unit</em>

<em>                                  </em><em>= $1,600 / ($8.00 - $3.20)</em>

<em>                                  = $1,600 /  $4.80</em>

<em>                                  =  333.333</em>

<em>                                  = 334</em>

<em>Therefore, 334 units must contemplate this expenditure</em>
