A restaurant food chain has over 680 restaurants. All food orders for each restaurant are required to be input into an electroni

c device which records all food orders by food servers and transmits the order to the kitchen for preparation. All food servers are responsible for collecting cash for all their orders and must turn in cash at the end of their shift equal to the sales value of food ordered for their I.D. number. The manager then reconciles the cash received for the day with the computerized record of food orders generated. All differences are investigated immediately by the restaurant. Corporate headquarters has established monitoring controls to determine when an individual restaurant might not be recording all its revenue and transmitting the applicable cash to the corporate headquarters. Which one of the following would be the best example of a monitoring control?
A. All food orders must be entered on the computer, and segregation of duties is maintained between the food servers and the cooks.
B. Management prepares a detailed analysis of gross margin per store and investigates any store that shows a significantly lower gross margin.

Answer: Management prepares a detailed analysis of gross margin per store and investigates any store that shows a significantly lower gross margin.

Explanation:

The best example of a monitoring control will be that the management prepares a detailed analysis of gross margin per store and investigates any store that shows a significantly lower gross margin.

The gross margin is regarded as the net sales revenue after the cost of goods sold has been deducted. In a situation where there's variation between the value, then it calls for check to ascertain if any fraudulent activity took place.

Domestic Market for Steel, Beta

Qs P Qd

80 5 20

70 4 30

60 3 40

40 1 60

Answer:

Assuming that Alpha and Beta are the only two nations in the world, at the equilibrium world price:

Beta will export steel and Alpha will import steel.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Domestic and World Market for Steel

Alpha                   Beta           World Market

Qs    P      Qd       Qs    P      Qd       Qs    P       Qd  

60    5        10       80    5       20      140    5       30

40    4       20       70    4       30       110     4       50

30    3       30       60    3       40       90     3       70

25   2.50  35       55    2.50  45       80    2.50  80

20   2       40       50    2       50        70    2       90

10   1       50        40    1        60       50     1       110

b) In the world market, equilibrium will occur at a price of $2.50, when the quantity supplied and demanded will be 80.  At this equilibrium price of $2.50, Alpha will supply 25 units, and Beta will supply 55 units.  Alpha will demand 35 units, and Beta will demand 45 units.  This implies that Beta will supply more than its demand for steel, while Alpha will supply less.  Therefore, Beta will export steel and Alpha will import steel.

True or False: If Kevin's Fire Engines were a competitive firm instead and $160,000 were the market price for an engine, decreas
Feliz [49]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Kevin should not rise the level of production from 5 to 6 as the impact of the price dominates this situation

Also the market is not depend on the Kevin fire engines because of the competitive market

Plus the supply and demand relation is inverse and not depend on the change in price level in a competitive market

If the price is decreased from $160,000 to $120,000 so the quantity of the production would not be impacted

In addition to this, the total revenue could be impacted when there is a reduction in the price that produced more sale due to this there is a slightly change in upward and downward

Also the change would never be in the similar production as compare to the change in price

Therefore the given statement is false

Explain the downside of social media for sports and entertainment marketers
vivado [14]

Answer: Athletes and entertainers must be very careful to think before they tweet or post anything to other social media sites. Because of the immediacy of this type of interaction and the high visibility of celebrities, one social media post could cause a whole lot of damage. Many celebrities have found this out firsthand. Take, for example, the case of Mark Cuban, owner of the NBA Dallas Mavericks. After his team got beat, he used his Twitter account to let off some steam at the referees who apparently—he thought—made some bad calls. His public venting cost him $25,000 in fines from the NBA. When he was notified about the fine, Cuban again used Twitter to vent, posting the following tweet on his profile: “can’t say no one makes money from twitter now. the nba does.”
