Please read the following on NC Economic Incentives: We have all heard that Amazon is planning on opening a second headquarters. The hope is that this new HQ could bring in 50,000 jobs and $5 billion in investments. As a result, states are in a bidding war to attract Amazon. These bids are what we can economic incentives. Many politicians have argued that the government should provide economic incentives to companies in order to bring jobs to NC. The proponents of economic incentives programs say that they are necessary for the State to give tax breaks, subsidies and other benefits to attract large companies to NC. Unfortunately, many other states are doing the same thing, thus making any NC incentive program difficult and expensive. For example, after some of the first Hunger Games movie was shot in NC, much of the subsequent movies went to Georgia. The point is that other states are outbidding NC and businesses are following the money and not coming to NC, but instead are going to other states. The opponents of State Sponsored Economic Incentives for businesses call this Corporate Welfarism. They point to the many times that government has failed to achieve its goals. Opponents of government economic incentives say that the program is too expensive for the results generated. More fundamentally, opponents say that the state shouldn't use tax money to pick winners and losers. They point to the failed attempts to pick Dell, Google, and Boeing; they point to government mistakes such as the "famous" Randy Parton Theater Project. (See here: https://www.carolinajournal.com/news-article/no-celebration-for-randy-parton-theaters-10th-birthday/) Additionally, they claim that picking winners leads to crony capitalism. 2. Suppose that you have been called to Raleigh to give expert testimony before a joint North Carolina House and Senate Committee assigned to review North Carolina's economic incentive policy. Using the questions below to help guide your testimony to the committee, write a three to four page paper in a Microsoft Word document to respond to this issue: When government uses tax monies to attract businesses (creating economic incentives--both the positive and the perverse), what are the short-term effects? What are the long-term effects? What are the effects on the local community? What are the wider implications? Can this problem be explained in a game theoretic context? If government economic incentives are so good, then why is it that North Carolina has reduced the amount of incentives offered to film and television companies? [Note: When economists use incentives, they mean it in a particular sense: broad institutions that influence people's decisions. So while a coupon for $5 off is an incentive, that is not what is being asked. Instead, economists look at broader policy implications. For example, unemployment insurance pays people if they do not work. Thus, the policy (regardless of intent) creates an incentive not to work.] 3. Your paper should be in written in APA style with appropriate references and bibliography. Titles pages and abstracts are NOT necessary.

• Although the increasing popularity of the Southport neighborhood has generally been a very positive development, there are a few negatives associated with it. You already addressed parking concerns. Another serious issue involves criminal activity. Southport has always had low levels of violent crime, and fortunately this doesn't appear to be changing. However, there has been a significant increase in vandalism and graffiti incidents. The police force is already working overtime, but it just can't keep up with the rapid growth.

  Because of these issues, the City Council is considering options to increase monitoring and reduce the load on law-enforcement officers. The budget is limited, which means it is important to make a cost-effective decision. The options being considered are described below:

• Hire additional officers—with more police patrolling the streets, vandals are less likely to cause damage. The officers would be entry-level officers who would patrol night and evening shifts.
• Purchase additional streetlights and security cameras—these items would work together to deter criminal activity. The streetlights would make it more difficult to damage property without being noticed, while the cameras would allow police to "catch them in the act".

• The city has obtained data from other areas regarding the effectiveness of hiring additional officers and installing cameras and lights. The city has estimated that each crime prevented is worth $1,000 to the city (the amount includes the expenses incurred by the police department, courts, and prisons) Each additional police officer would be paid $20,000 per year. Each security camera/light installation would cost $8,000 per year to operate and maintain. A summary of this data is below:

Write a 300- to 500-word report to John Becker. In your report, be sure to

• consider the likely effect of the increase in crime on the labor market for police officers in the city
• calculate the marginal product and marginal revenue product of labor for police officers
• consider the optimal number of additional officers that should be hired if the city only hires police officers (be sure to explain your answer using marginal products)
• calculate the marginal product and marginal revenue product for adding security cameras and lights
• consider the optimal number of security cameras and lights the city should install if the city only purchases security cameras and lights (be sure to explain your answer using marginal products)

Question 3

Everyday Supplies Pty Ltd is a single-store retailer that sells a variety of tools, garden supplies, timber, small appliances, and electrical fixtures to the public, although about half of Everyday Supplies’ sales are to construction contractors on account. Retail customers pay for merchandise by cash or credit card at cash registers when merchandise is purchased. A contractor may purchase merchandise on account, if approved by the credit manager based only on the manager’s familiarity with the contractor’s reputation. After credit is approved, the sales associate files a prenumbered charge form with the accounts receivable supervisor to set up the receivable. The accounts receivable supervisor independently verifies the pricing and other details on the charge form by reference to a management - authorised price list, corrects any errors, prepares the invoice, and supervises a part-time employee who mails the invoice to the contractor. The accounts receivable supervisor electronically posts the details of the invoice in the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger; simultaneously, the transaction’s details are transmitted to the bookkeeper. The accounts receivable supervisor also prepares a monthly computer-generated accounts receivable subsidiary ledger without a reconciliation with the accounts receivable control account and a monthly report of overdue accounts. 4 The cash receipts functions are performed by the cashier, who also supervises the cash register clerks. The cashier opens the mail, compares each cheque with the enclosed remittance advice, stamps each cheque “for deposit only”, and lists cheques for deposit. The cashier then gives the remittance advices to the bookkeeper for recording. The cashier deposits the cheques daily, separate from the daily deposit of cash register receipts. The cashier retains the verified deposit slips to assist in reconciling the monthly bank statements, but forwards to the bookkeeper a copy of the daily cash register summary. The cashier does not have access to the journals or ledgers. The bookkeeper receives the details of transactions from the accounts receivable supervisor and the cashier for journalising and positing to the general ledger. After recording the remittance advices received from the cashier, the bookkeeper electronically transmits the remittance information to the accounts receivable supervisor for subsidiary ledger updating. The bookkeeper sends monthly statements to contractors with unpaid balances upon receipt of the monthly report of overdue balances from the accounts receivable supervisor. The bookkeeper authorises the accounts receivable supervisor to write off accounts as uncollectible when six months have passed since the initial overdue notice was sent. At this time, the credit manager is notified by the bookkeeper not to grant additional credit to that contractor.

Required: Describe five (5) internal control weaknesses in Everyday Supplies’ internal control for the cash receipts and billing functions and explain why they are weaknesses for two (2) that you have identified. (Word Limit: Minimum of 550 words. Maximum of 600 words)
