1)
Explanation of Solution
Given process failure:
In the accounts payable master data, a vendor invoice was posted to the wrong vendor record, as the data entry clerk transferred digits in the vendor identification number.
Determine the control plan for each process failure given:
Check digit (a programmed edit): Programmed edit checks help to identify the errors in the input document, then the clerk will take corrective actions based on the identified errors. it helps to obey with balance agreement and saves time.
The edits in the input document help to identify enormous errors, which would result in improved accuracy and it ensure input completeness.

- An insurance company has liabilities of £7 million due in 10 years' time and £9 million due in 17 years' time. The assets of the company consist of two zero-coupon bonds, one paying £X million in 7 years' time and the other paying £Y million in 20 years' time. The current interest rate is 6% per annum effective. Find the nominal value of X (i.e. the amount, IN MILLIONS, that bond X pays in 7 year's time) such that the first two conditions for Redington's theory of immunisation are satisfied. Express your answer to THREE DECIMAL PLACES.arrow_forwardAn individual is investing in a market where spot rates and forward rates apply. In this market, if at time t=0 he agrees to invest £5.3 for two years, he will receive £7.4 at time t=2 years. Alternatively, if at time t=0 he agrees to invest £5.3 at time t=1 for either one year or two years, he will receive £7.5 or £7.3 at times t=2 and t=3, respectively. Calculate the price per £5,000 nominal that the individual should pay for a fixed-interest bond bearing annual interest of 6.6% and is redeemable after 3 years at 110%. State your answer at 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardThe one-year forward rates of interest, f+, are given by: . fo = 5.06%, f₁ = 6.38%, and f2 = 5.73%. Calculate, to 4 decimal places (in percentages), the three-year par yield.arrow_forward
- 1. Give one new distribution channels for Virtual Assistance (freelance business) that is not commonly used. - show a chart/diagram to illustrate the flow of the distribution channels. - explain the rationale behind it. (e.g., increased market reach, improved customer experience, cost-efficiency). - connect the given distribution channel to the marketing mix: (How does it align with the overall marketing strategy? Consider product, price, promotion, and place.). - define the target audience: (Age, gender, location, interests, etc.). - lastly, identify potential participants: (Wholesalers, retailers, online platforms, etc.)arrow_forwardAn individual is planning for retirement and aims to withdraw $100,000 at the beginning of each year, starting from the first year of retirement, for an expected retirement period of 20 years. To fund this retirement plan, he intends to make 20 equal annual deposits at the end of each year during his working years. Assume a simple annual interest rate of 20% during his working years and a simple annual interest rate of 5% during retirement. What should his annual deposit amount be to achieve his desired retirement withdrawals? Please write down the steps of your calculation and explain result economic meaning.arrow_forwardAssume an investor buys a share of stock for $18 at t=0 and at the end of the next year (t=1), he buys 12 shares with a unit price of $9 per share. At the end of Year 2 (t=2), the investor sells all shares for $40 per share. At the end of each year in the holding period, the stock paid a $5.00 per share dividend. What is the annual time-weighted rate of return? Please write down the steps of your calculation and explain result economic meaning.arrow_forward
- On how far do you endorse this issue? Analyze the situation critically using official statistics and the literature.arrow_forwardIs globalization a real catalyst for enhancing international business? It is said that relevance of globalization and regionalism in the current situation is dying down. More specifically, concerned has been raised from different walks of life about Nepal’s inability of reaping benefits of joining SAFTA, BIMSTEC and WTO.arrow_forwardIn the derivation of the option pricing formula, we required that a delta-hedged position earn the risk-free rate of return. A different approach to pricing an option is to impose the condition that the actual expected return on the option must equal the equilibrium expected return. Suppose the risk premium on the stock is 0.03, the price of the underlying stock is 111, the call option price is 4.63, and the delta of the call option is 0.4. Determine the risk premium on the option.arrow_forward
