Answer:
a. I Disagree with Faith's method of handling this situation because she has not followed the internal control principle of safeguarding of assets. Stealing is a serious issue. An employee who can justify taking a box of tea bags can probably justify “borrowing” cash from the cash register.
b. I Agree with Faith's method of handling this situation because Faith has followed the internal control principle of assignment of responsibility by making one employee responsible for the cash drawer and followed the internal control principle of segregation of duties (preparing the orders) from the accounting (taking orders and payments).
c. I disagree with Faith's method of handling this situation because Faith has not followed the internal control principle of segregation of duties. It is true that faith has made one employee responsible however after cash counting another employee or Faith himself remove the cash register tape and compare the balance with cash drawer for effective internal control. Also, Faith’s standard of no mistakes may encourage the cashiers to overcharge a few customers in order to cover any possible shortages in the cash drawer.

Answer:
using conventional costing system:
- unit cost mercon = $21.40
- unit cost wurcon = $90.80
total production costs using conventional costing system:
- 4,000 units of mercon = 4,000 x $21.40 = $85,600
- 8,000 units of wurcon = 8,000 x $90.80 = $726,400
Explanation:
Mercon Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit $9.00 $7.00
Direct labor cost per unit $6.00 $7.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.20 2.40
overhead rate applied $6.40 $76.80
Number of units produced 4,000 8,000
overhead rate = total overhead / total direct labor hours = $640,000 / [(4,000 x 0.20) + (8,000 x 2.40)] = $640,000 / 20,000 = $32 per direct labor hour
unit cost mercon = $9 + $6 + $6.40 = $21.40
unit cost wurcon = $7 + $7 + $76.80 = $90.80
