You and your colleagues have been assigned to the audit of a private company, Rose Pty Limited, which operates a plant nursery with a turnover of $6 million a year. The total number of full-time employees working for the company is 16, together with between five to seven casual employees as and when required on weekends. The company is run by a husband and wife team who are the directors and shareholders and a full-time accounts clerk, Sofia, who is responsible for all accounting-related tasks including accounts receivable, inventory, payroll and accounts payable. All accounting functions are performed on a standalone personal computer (PC). The access to various applications is controlled by passwords. Sofia records passwords to each application in her top drawer. Backups for all applications are done on a regular basis, appropriately labelled and maintained in a ‘backup’ case next to the PC. The office of the company is located in a small office building inside the nursery which is well fenced. The company trades seven days a week, but Sofia only works Mondays to Fridays. The office is also used by various other members of the staff to process sales invoices and dispatch documents during the weekend. A monthly income statement and balance sheet are prepared as part of the roll-forward procedure. Monthly reconciliations are also prepared by Sofia for all balances on the balance sheet; however, the directors concentrate their review on the income statement. Required: (a) From the information above, identify FIVE significant internal control weaknesses. (b) For each weakness identified in (a) above, recommend a practical and effective internal control procedure that could be introduced to overcome this weakness.

Data were collected on the amount of free memory during peak usage times of the AIX system on a university campus. The unit used was real memory page (4096 bytes). Suppose that the free memory is normally distributed. Using a significance level of 0.02, is there evidence that the standard deviation in the population of free memory during peak usage time is different from 100?

On 31 October 2013, Josh borrowed money from his parents. He promised that he would repay the money on 31 October 2017, with interest at a nominal interest rate of 7% p.a., compounding quarterly. The total amount that he was due to pay his parents at that time was exactly $10,000 but he started his studies at university so he couldn’t afford to repay the loan. If interest continues to accrue, what amount must Josh pay on 31 October 2022 to fully pay off the loan?
