Rita is the owner of Rita’s Osteria. She wants to study the growth of her business using simulation. She is interested in simulating the number of customers and the amount ordered by customers each month. She feels that the number of customers is normally distributed, with a mean of 800 and a standard deviation of 45. The bill for each customer is $65 and uniformly distributed, with a maximum increase of 8% and a minimum decrease of 5%. The changes of the bills are incremental, i.e. each change is based off the average bill of the previous month. Formulate a simulation, computing the mean total revenue and the standard deviation in one year.

Shannon Polymers uses straight-line depreciation for financial reporting purposes for equipment costing $560,000 and with an expected useful life of 4 years and no residual value. For tax purposes, the deduction is 40%, 30%, 20%, and 10% in those years. Pretax accounting income the first year the equipment was used was $660,000, which includes interest revenue of $13,000 from municipal bonds. Other than the two described, there are no differences between accounting income and taxable income. The enacted tax rate is 30%.

T/F/Explain

Price elasticity of demand is measured using the slope of the demand curve.

2.

Our company, Slim ‘N Trim, Inc. sells pants for $40 a pair. After a successful year, you decide to try raising the price to $60. Your observation: sales drop from 50 pairs to 40. What is your price elasticity of demand calculated using the midpoint formula?

3.

After observing the value of your elasticity, does increasing your price increase, decrease, or have no effect on your total revenue? Why?

1. Cal sold 4,000 gallons per day at a price of $2.189 per gallon. He raised the price 1 cent to $2.199 per gallon, and revenues and profits dropped. His station sold 3,600 gallons per day at $2.199 per gallon. Fixed costs are $250 per day. What is the price elasticity of demand? Can the elasticity be characterized as elastic, inelastic, or neither? By how much did revenues increase or decrease as a result of the change in price? By how much did profits increase or decline? (Profits are revenue minus all costs.)

Discuss the importance of understanding internal control in developing an effective audit program. In that context, include in your discussion a general overall position and specifically the internal control questionnaires for either the Revenue and collection Cycle or Production (Inventory) Cycle, which also includes internal control over Inventory Transaction Processing. Matters such as seperation of duties should be part of your response.

Include in your answer several (3 would be enough) important considerations to satisfy sound internal control for each of the five assertions: OCCURRENCE, COMPLETENESS, ACCURACY, CUTOFF AND CLASSIFICATION.
