Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

True (A)

Explanation:

Customer access strategy is a framework or a set of standards, guidelines and processes, which defines the means by which a customer and the organization can interact, and  means by which the customer has access to:

  • the relevant information needed to make purchases
  • the right logistics for the execution of a purchase

The arear of access are mainly information (value of the product, price of products, how products work) and logistics (means of getting the products, customer service on the after-purchase needs etc).

It has been studied extensively that companies are spending 3 to 4 times as much money on creating customer access than they do on advertising, this is because even if advertising is successful, the results will not be seen if customer access is not successful, and having an efficient customer access strategy can provide a competitive advantage to the producers.

All of the following statements regarding leases are true except : A. For a capital lease the lessee records the leased item as
faust18 [17]

Answer: B. Capital leases do not transfer ownership of the asset under the lease, but operating leases often do.

Explanation:

When using Capital Leases, the lessee will record the lease as if it were their own asset and as a result will also depreciate it. The lessee will also create a long term liability on their balance sheet for the asset.

Capital leases usually also involve a transfer of ownership to the lessee at the end of the lease term. Operating Leases on the other hand do not have these features. They are more like a rental of an asset and as such are recorded as a rental expense in the books of the lessee. The ownership remains with the lessor in an Operating Lease and the asset will be returned once the lease period is over.

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Weakness 1 is signed paper are not stored in safe and secured location.

Weakness 2 is approval is not taken from any manager or person before purchasing the item from customers.

Explanation:

The store should keep a track in the system for the purchase of items from its customers. The store should get approval before purchasing the product and the cash dealing should be assigned to designated person who will be responsible for the payment to its customers. This will reduce chances of fraud as the cash will be handled by only one person and tracking will be easy.

If the reserve requirement is 5 percent, a bank desires to hold no excess reserves, and it receives a new deposit of $10, then t
jekas [21]

Answer:

c. will be able to make new loans up to a maximum of $9.50

Explanation:

If the reserve requirement is 5% it means that the bank is required to reserve(not loan out) 5% of it's reserves so in this case the bank is required to 5% of 10 (0.05*10) $0.50 as reserves and can loan out $9.50 (10-0.50). As the bank has no desire to hold on to excess reserves we can be sure that it will only hold 0.50 as reserve as it is required and loan out $9.50. So statement c is correct.

Statement A is incorrect because the bank does not need to increase required reserve by $10 but by just $0.50.

Statement B is incorrect a deposit of $10 cannot increase the total reserve by $10.50 as it is impossible mathematically.

Statement d is incorrect because 2 of the 3 statements are incorrect therefore all of the above statements cant be correct.
