Answer:

Option 3: $12 down with equal payments of $5 for 12 months

Explanation:

In option 1 :

The cost is $ 88,

In option 2 :

Down payment = $ 5,

Weekly payment = $ 8,

Number of weeks = 10,

So, the total cost = 5 + 8 × 10 = 5 + 80 = $ 85,

In option 3 :

Down payment = $ 12,

Monthly payment = $ 5,

Number of months = 12,

So, the total cost = 12 + 5 × 12 = 12 + 60 = $ 72,

In option 4 :

Down payment = $ 20,

Monthly payment = $ 20,

Number of months = 12,

So, the total cost = 12 + 20 × 12 = 12 + 240= $ 252

∵ 72 < 85 < 88 < 252

Hence, option 3 is better.

A fixed asset with a five-year estimated useful life and no scrap value is sold at the end of the second year of its useful life

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

B) A gain would be less or a loss would be greater using straight-line depreciation.

Explanation:

In straight line method of depreciation there is a fixed amount of depreciation, and in double declining method the rate is double of straight line method,

Let us take an example,

Cost of asset = $500,000

Selling price at end of 2nd year = $300,000

Straight line depreciation = $100,000 for each year i.e. $500,000/5

Double declining method rate = ($100,000/$500,000) $\times$ 100 $\times$ 2 = 40%

Therefore value at end of second year

Straight line = $500,000 - ($100,000 $\times$ 2 ) = $300,000

Double Declining method = ($500,000 -40%) - 40% = $180,000

In case of sale at $300,000

Profit shall be

Straight line = $300,000 - $300,000 = 0

Double Declining = $300,000 - $180,000 = $120,000

Now, there will be more profit in double declining that is gain is less in straight line and losses would be greater in straight line thus statement B is correct.

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.

Supply side is the view point of the Firms or the Businesses.

Explanation:

As the law of demand deals with the consumers side, the law of supply deals with the suppliers or the firms/businesses.

this tries to explain the factors that affect the supply, such as the prices of the substitutes and complements, the price of a commodity itself, taxes, government subsidies, technological influences, etc...

in this question, the 1st option, consumer is wrong. However, in certain situations, Government can be acted as a "supplier" (if there is a government monopoly on the supply of a good or a service", and government is a heavy influencer of supply through the implementaion of taxes and subsidies!
