Joe Blogs Trading (Pty) Ltd. owns two similarly sized Kwikspar stores in the greater Durban area, one in Westville and the other in Glenashley. Both stores operate three main departments: general groceries; fruit and vegetables; and a delicatessen which specialises in pre-cooked meals and imported cheeses. The stores are supported by an independent central office where Joe, who owns and manages the business is based together with an accountant and two administrative assistants who are responsible for all payroll, accounting and IT related activities of the company. Each store also employs a person to manage the general store administration to support the manager and operating departments.

John’s Custom Computer Shop (JCCS) assembles computers for both individual and corporate customers. The company is organized into two divisions: Personal and Business. Once a computer is built, it is shipped to the customer. Billing for all customers is handled by the corporate Accounts Receivable Department. Accounts Receivable performs two major activities: billing and dispute resolution. Billing refers to preparing and sending the bills as well as processing the payments. Dispute resolution occurs when a customer refuses to pay, usually due to an error in billing. The costs of the Accounts Receivable Department are allocated to the two divisions based on the number of bills prepared. Kyle, the manager of the Business division, has complained that the allocated costs from Accounts Receivable are beginning to make the business division look unprofitable and has asked you to recommend some changes to the allocation system. If he agrees with your recommendation, he will pass them on…
