the tests after the auto-grading software is implemented. • Zed Inc. will
not need to hire additional people to operate the auto-grading software. •

Social analytics Managing Director: Our business has expanded over the
past couple of years. The profit margin and revenue earned have both
gone up. On careful analysis of our client base, we have found that all of
our clients belong to the same culture as us. They also hold ethical
values that are similar to ours. Based on this finding, it would be best if
our company stops training our employees on cultural sensitivity and
instead gives our employees specialized training in market research
analysis. The Managing Director’s argument is flawed because it: •
disregards the influence that a training on cultural sensitivity could have
on the company’s profit margin. • fails to consider that the suppliers for
the company might belong to a different culture than the clients. • takes
for granted the continued increase in revenue that the company will
experience. • assumes that training in market research analysis is less
expensive than training in cultural sensitivity. Calculate the cost of

drink, Energize. According to recent market surveys, the product is in its
decline stage. At the same time Energize was introduced, Panne Inc.

not a reliable method to determine the stages in a product’s life cycle. •
Consumers have realized that the presence of caffeine in energy drinks is
detrimental to their health. • Both products were not well received in the

of obesity in the country. It has framed a policy that requires food and
beverage manufacturers to be taxed according to the sugar and fat
content in their products. This will make high-sugar and high-fat
products more expensive for consumers. The government believes that
this policy will surely benefit the health of Seronian citizens. Which of
the following statements, if true, would undermine the government’s
argument? • The policy is not applicable to food products that are not
manufactured within Seronia. • Recent campaigns done by nutritionists
have increased consumer awareness about the adverse effects of a high-
19. calorie diet. • The Seronian government’s expenditure on providing
health care to its citizens has steadily increased over the last ten years. •
Consumers tend to decrease the consumption of some healthy food
products to afford the prices of high-sugar and high-fat products, which
are tastier. Marketing head of Tosel Inc.: Our company has been using
an advanced CRM platform, Inito, which is popular among businesses
for its sophisticated functionality. Inito allows us to store customers’
psychographic data as well as their recent shopping behavior. However,
since we began using Inito, we have not been able to generate a
significant greater number of leads. Clearly then, using CRM software
does not help in generating any business. Which of the following
statements, if true, would weaken the argument above? • It is difficult to
create a successful marketing strategy for a customer base that greatly
varies in demographic and psychographic factors. • Inito is the most
commonly used CRM platform. • Tosel has integrated Inito into the
other information systems used by the company. • Tosel has not invested
the resources required to maintain its database of customers’
psychographic data and shopping behavior. Cream & Fresh Ice Creams

software. There are three available choices in the market: Telpro, Morse,
and Verla. Systems manager: I have compared the three available
20. choices. All three choices are similar in quality, features, and usability.
However, Morse is the most commonly used software, and it also has
the lowest purchase price. Therefore, the best choice of project
management software for us would be Morse. Which of the following
statements, if true, would strengthen the systems manager’s argument? •
Morse is easily customized to fit individual customer needs. •
Employees at Truno Corp. do not support the idea of using project
management software. • The project management requirements of other
users of Morse are not similar to those of Truno Corp. • The prices of
Verla and Telpro have fluctuated considerably over the past 5 years.

of the company appear better than it actually is. Jon, one of the
company’s employees, becomes aware of this fraudulent activity and
immediately reports it to the appropriate authorities. After conducting
several investigations, the authorities book the company under the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Which of the following statements best explains
why Jon did not hesitate to alert the authorities about the company’s
fraudulent activity? Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, whistleblowers who

Sarbanes-Oxley Act provides for the reinstatement of whistleblowers in
cases of improper termination. LaBelle a famous cosmetic brand

reaps huge profits for the company. After using the product for a few
months, consumers complain of rashes and allergies. An external
chemical agency accuses the company of using banned substances in its
products. When investigated, the company’s CEO confesses that he
knew about the substance but did not act because of the product’s initial
success. Which of the following could be the cause for the CEO’s
22. unethical behavior? The slippery slope Overvaluing outcomes Indirect
blindness Ill-conceived goals Elena Corporation owes Volmare Inc. an
advertising agency a sum of $42000 for services rendered. When Elena

common practice Rova Inc. mostly collects upfront payments for goods
that will be delivered to customers in the future. Unearned revenues
contribute significantly to the company’s current liabilities.
Commentator A: The advance cash received from customers can be used
to finance the company’s operations, and the corresponding liabilities
that are recorded will appear as sales in future financial statements.
Therefore, this practice is beneficial to Rova Inc. and should be
continued. Which of the following statements, if true, weakens
commentator A’s argument? Rova Inc.’s ability to deliver exactly as per
its commitments to its customers is frequently impacted by its unreliable
suppliers. Rova Inc.’s long-term liabilities are not offset by its current
assets. Rova Inc.’s cash flow statement shows that the company does not
23. have enough cash to scale up its operations in the next year. A majority
of the orders received by Rova Inc. from its customers are for
customized products. The senior management of Reska Corp. realizes
the importance of encouraging employees to be creative. In the previous
year, the company organized quarterly town hall meetings, where
employees were given the opportunity to share innovative ideas to tackle
the issues faced by the company and to improve the company’s overall
performance. However, this plan did not yield the desired result. The
CEO of Reska Corp.: This plan failed because employees tended to be
apprehensive about expressing their ideas in public as they did not know
how the ideas would be received. We must change our strategy and give
employees the opportunity to express their ideas to their managers in
person. This will make the employees feel comfortable expressing their
creativity. Which of the following is assumed by the CEO? Unless the
employees of Reska share their creative ideas, the company’s overall
performance is unlikely to improve. Employees feel less apprehensive
about expressing their ideas to their managers than about expressing
them in public. Reska’s employees want to be creative at their jobs.
Companies with a creative workforce are less resistant to change than
those lacking creativity. Melanie and Peter are discussing the limitations
of internal control systems in organizations. Melanie believes that the
human element is an insignificant factor in internal control systems. If
Peter wants to refute this view, which of the following points should he
put forth? Small companies have more efficient internal control systems
as they do not need to segregate duties or provide for independent
internal verification. Collusion between two individuals can eliminate
the protection offered by segregation of duties in an internal control
system. A well-built internal control system has inbuilt controls to
reverse the results of employee indifference and carelessness. The size
of an organization determines the expectations from an internal control
24. system in the organization. Cryser Inc. specializes in manufacturing
wind turbines. In order to increase the efficiency of its manufacturing
process, the management decides to restructure its shop floor into
several workshops. Each workshop specializes in a specific function.
The engineers working in the company raise concerns that their jobs will
become monotonous if each employee performs only one of those
functions. Which of the following is a soft tactic that the management
can use to influence the engineers? Convincing the union leader to
persuade other engineers Explaining the benefits of the new structure
Demanding the engineers to comply with the authority Promising
monetary benefits Jeremia joins as the new marketing manager in a
leading multinational company. The company usually advertises its
products through newspapers, television, or trade fairs. Jeremia invites
different product managers within the company to discuss and find out
new ways of creating consumer awareness for the company’s products.
Several members of the group are inclined toward Jeremia’s idea of
using social media, while others are content with the present
promotional strategies. Which of the following stages of the group
development process are the managers experiencing? Performing

Capital 50,000 Cero Inc. is an oil and gas company that operates in the
nation of Lumnia. Cero has incurred unforeseen expenses this year
because of an environmental lawsuit filed against the company for
accidentally causing an oil spill in a marine area in Lumnia. Therefore,
25. despite Cero’s earnings being high, the company’s net income is much
lower than what the company anticipated. CFO of Cero Inc.: Our
operations are compliant to the current environmental laws. Accidents
such as the oil spill caused by Cero Inc. are extremely rare. Therefore,
the consequences of the environmental impacts of our operations should
be categorized as nonrecurring costs in our financial statements. Cero’s
shareholder: Cero Inc.’s earnings steadily increase every year. Since the
oil spill is a onetime incident, there is no need to worry about its impact
on next year’s profits. Which of the following statements, if true,
weakens the CFO’s argument? Cero Inc. categorizes any change in
accounting principles as a nonrecurring expense. A change in the taxes
applicable to Cero Inc. cannot be listed as a nonrecurring expense unless
it is unanticipated. In the future, Lumnia’s environmental laws are likely
to undergo frequent changes because of increasing environmental
activism in Lumnia. Cero Inc.’s earnings come from many other
operations that are based outside Lumnia. Telda Corp. is a large
accounting firm. It has an office in each of the 27 states of Kavenia. The
chairperson of Telda Corp.: I believe that if employees work in the same
office for a long time, issues like favoritism, complacency, and misuse
of authority are likely to develop. Therefore, I propose a policy that
requires at least the employees in managerial positions and above to be
transferred to a different office every five years. This policy will be well
received by our employees and discourage them from leaving our
company. Which of the following statements, if true, would most
seriously weaken the chairperson’s policy? The cost of living in Kavenia
varies from state to state. Employees are more likely to switch jobs
within their city than to relocate to a new city for their current jobs. The
employees of Telda Corp. would have to be paid a relocation allowance
if they are transferred to a different city. There is a high rate of attrition
among Telda Corp.’s employees who are not in managerial positions.
26. The HR manager of Delta Corp.: According to our rewards and
recognition program, employee achievements are acknowledged and
employees are given gift vouchers through emails on reaching
milestones and targets. I feel this is not enough to make employees feel
appreciated. In my previous company, work anniversaries and
professional achievements were celebrated in organization-wide
meetings, where the concerned employee would be publicly rewarded.
After all, I would love it if my efforts were recognized like this!
Therefore, such an idea would be a great success in our company. The
HR manager’s argument is flawed because it: dismisses the possibility
of increasing the value of the gift vouchers that are given to the
employees at present. fails to prove that employees of Delta Corp. feel
unappreciated. fails to recognize the effort put in by his team to
implement the existing rewards and recognition program. fails to
consider that other people might perceive appreciation differently than
him. The management team at Cryser Inc., manufacturer of wind
turbines, aims to increase the company’s market share by 20% by the

27. structure consists of a long-term debt of $950,000 (costing 4%) and
110,000 issued shares of common stock at a market price of $6 per
share. To bring down Raubac’s dependence on debt, the company is
planning to reduce its debt by $200,000 by selling additional shares of
common stock. Raubac’s EBIT will not change with the change in
capital structure and will remain in the 40 percent tax bracket. Which of
the following is a result of the change in Raubac’s capital structure?
Raubac’s earnings before taxes (EBT) will remain unchanged. Raubac’s
earnings per share (EPS) will increase by $0.57. Raubac’s earnings
before taxes (EBT) will reduce by $8,000. Raubac’s net income will
increase by $4,800. The management team at Cryser Electronics Inc.,

fraud. After several in-depth investigations, it is found that although the
CEO of the company was not aware of the fraud, he received 1.5 million
dollars in the form of bonuses and stock profits during the company’s
fraudulent period. The Securities and Exchange Commission orders the
company to restate its financial position and furnish the correct financial
statements. As per the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which of the following is a
likely consequence that will follow? The CEO will be held personally
liable for the company’s misconduct during the fraudulent period. The
CEO will be asked to return the money that he or she received during the
company’s fraudulent period. The company will be allowed to grant
personal loans to its executives provided that it can prove the

$1,900 Omega Corp. released the unaudited financial statement prepared
by its accountants. According to the statement, the profit margin of the
company has increased. The sales of its electronic appliances have also
increased. Based on the unaudited financial statement, buying Omega
Corp. shares would be a good investment. Which of the following, if
true, casts the most doubt on the conclusion? Omega Corp. does not
maintain more than a month’s supply of inventory. The sales of other
products of Omega Corp. have not shown the increase that the sales of
electronic appliances have shown. The earnings reported in the audited
financial statement for Omega Corp. are lower than that reported in the
unaudited financial statement. The fixed expenses of the company have
increased significantly. BrightLife, a leading insurance company,
provides incentives to salespeople based on the number of prospective
customers they meet in a day. The salespeople, however, often spend
time with their friends and then claim to have met the prospective
customers. They are paid incentives based on their claims. The
company’s CEO realizes that the number of customers the company has
is significantly less compared to the number of prospective customers
that the salespeople claim to have met. To rectify the unethical behavior
of the salespeople, the company now pays incentives based on the
number of sales each person makes. Which of the following could be a
29. cause for the salespeople’s unethical behavior? Motivated blindness
Indirect blindness Ill-conceived goals Maertge Airlines purchases an

In order to expand the clothing collection in the boutique, Luisana wants
to buy some clothes from a fashion designer. After examining Luisana’s
audited financial statements, the fashion designer concludes that she is
assured a collection from Luisana. Which of the following statements
will weaken the argument? The fashion designer makes her collections
within two months of sale. Luisana’s liquid assets are just enough to
meet her current liabilities. Luisana’s boutique faces increased
competition from other designer boutiques. Luisana has owned the
boutique for only three years and has no prior experience of running a
business. WarmLiquid Corp., a manufacturer of water heaters, produces
30 water heaters per week. Past records indicate that 10% of total water
heaters produced in a week are likely to be defective. Suppose a quality

probability that four out of six water heaters will be defective? 0.08 0.56
0.46 0.76 In an apparel store, one individual is assigned the task of
recording the cash received from customers. Another individual is
responsible for the creation and handing over of credit memos to
customers. These measures are taken to avoid the risk of fraud. Which of
the following principles of internal control activities does this scenario
best illustrate? Physical controls Documentation procedures Segregation
of duties Independent internal verification Gharial LLC is a company
that manufactures and leases cars. To increase its production capacity,
30. the CEO of Gharial LLC has decided to build a new manufacturing
plant. The company requires a loan from a bank, and submits its
financial statements to the bank. The CEO believes that the loan will be
approved because of the company’s liquidity. Which of the following
strengthens the CEO’s argument? The cost of building the
manufacturing plant will be offset by the profit Gharial LLC earns.
Gharial LLC’s financial statements show a positive working capital. The
manufacturing plant will be amortized over the next thirty years. Gharial
LLC’s earnings per share are equal to that of other similar companies.
Telda Corp. is a large accounting firm. It has an office in each of the 27
states of Kavenia. The chairperson of Telda Corp.: I believe that if
employees work in the same office for a long time, issues like
favoritism, complacency, and misuse of authority are likely to develop.
Therefore, I propose a policy that requires at least the employees in
managerial positions and above to be transferred to a different office
every five years. This policy will be well received by our employees and
discourage them from leaving our company. Which of the following
statements, if true, would strengthen the chairperson’s argument?
Cultural differences may lead to different working styles in the different
office locations of Telda Corp. Introducing policy changes without
consulting the relevant stakeholders is against the work culture of Telda
Corp. The technical skills required to work vary from team to team in
Telda. Rotating employees among different office locations leads to
greater employee cohesion in companies. Secaucuss Co. has been in the
business of manufacturing office supplies for the last five years.
Recently, the company issued more shares to the public to raise capital
for its expansion. Expanding its operations into office maintenance
helped it generate additional cash inflows. Since the company expanded
and issued more shares, the stockholders’ equity should also have
increased. However, the stockholders’ equity went down this year.
31. Which of the following statements best explains why the stockholders’
equity went down? The company purchased some new machines to
speed up its manufacturing process. The company employed a predatory
pricing strategy to increase its market share. The company collected
revenue from services provided on an accrual basis. The company
declared a 2-for-1 stock split during the current year. Reinek Company

what it was last year. Which of the following statements, if true,
strengthens the argument? Tolut Inc.’s stocks were undervalued in the
market last year. A high EPS indicates that the company has a high
potential for growth in the future. Tolut Inc. has issued additional

time Neha interacts with Jordon, she downplays her dominant nature by
acting naive. However, she is aggressive and dominant with younger
employees. Which of the following approaches to managing diversity
should be used to help Neha overcome her prejudiced attitude?
Educating Neha about stereotyping people of different age and sex
Isolating Neha by putting her in special projects that require minimum
interaction with other employees Acknowledging Neha’s beliefs but not
valuing or accepting them Hiring more women employees to create an

previous managing director was unapproachable and did not encourage
employees to express their problems or ideas to him. Aaron does not
want to be perceived the same way. To appear friendlier toward his
employees, he decides to use a bit of humor in his electronic
communication. This will surely enable him to build a good rapport with
36. the employees of Ikara Corp. Which of the following, if true, most
seriously undermines Aaron’s argument? Aaron has previously worked
in companies where communication between employees was informal.
Aaron’s electronic communication is mostly directed to the senior
management of the company. Managers must seem approachable to their
teams, especially when their teams are spread across the globe. Some
employees of Ikara belong to cultures where humor is likely to be
perceived as ridicule. Gharial LLC is a company that manufactures and
leases cars. To increase its production capacity, the CEO of Gharial LLC
has decided to build a new manufacturing plant. The company requires a

This tutorial contains 2 Papers
Identify key trends, assumptions, and risks in the context of your final
business model.
Develop the strategic objectives for your new division of the existing
business in a balanced scorecard format in the context of key trends,
assumptions, and risks.The strategic objectives are measures of
attaining your vision and mission. As you develop them, consider the
vision, mission, and values for your business and the outcomes of your
SWOTT analysis and supply chain analysis.
Consider the following four quadrants of the balanced scorecard when
developing your strategic objectives:
· Shareholder Value or Financial Perspective, includes strategic
objectives in areas such as:
o Market share
o Revenues and costs
o Profitability
o Competitive position
56. · Customer Value Perspective, includes strategic objectives in areas
such as:
o Customer retention or turnover
o Customer satisfaction
o Customer value
· Process or Internal Operations Perspective, includes strategic
objectives in areas such as:
o Measure of process performance
o Productivity or productivity improvement
o Operations metrics
o Impact of change on the organization
· Learning and Growth (Employee) Perspective, includes strategic
objectives in areas such as:
o Employee satisfaction
o Employee turnover or retention
o Level of organizational capability
o Nature of organizational culture or climate
o Technological innovation
Develop at least three strategic objectives for each of the four balanced
scorecard areas identified (Financial, Customer, Process, Learning and
Growth). Your objectives should be selected, in part, based on an
evaluation of a number of potential alternatives to the issues and/or
57. opportunities identified in the SWOTT Analysis paper and table you
completed in Week 3.
Base your solutions on a ranking of alternative solutions that includes
an identification of potential risks and mitigation plans, and a
stakeholder analysis that includes mitigation and contingency strategies.
You should also incorporate the ethical implications of your solutions
into your selection.
· For each strategic objective, develop a metric and target using a
balanced scorecard format. (For example, a strategic objective in the
shareholder or Financial Perspective is to increase market share. A
metric to actually measure this strategic objective of market share
increase is, "The percentage of increase in market share." The target is
the specific number to be achieved in a particular time period. The
target for the metric of "Increase market share" could be "Increase
market share by 2% for each of the next 3 years" of an increase of 2%
per year for 3 years.)
Outline a brief communication plan discussing how you will
communicate the company's strategic objectives that includes the
following:
· Define the purpose.
· Define the audience.
· Identify the channel(s) of communication and why you selected that
channel.
Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word strategic objectives summary. Include
your balanced scorecard and its impact on all stakeholders, and the
communication plan.
