                     Controls are always important to help a company achieve their aims, the earlier
                     they start the easier it will be to set the right control environment.


                     It is impossible to provide absolute assurance & eliminate all risk.

                     The management will always have ultimate responsibility for internal controls in
                     an organisation.

               44  C, E


                     Dong benefit to Timings

                     SP          50

                     VC Tick (10.50)


                     VC Tock (10)

                     Cont       29.50

                     Ding benefit to Timings

                     SP     20

                     VC S  (10.50)


                     Cont   9.50

                     Dong makes more contribution so Timings would be happy for the internal
                     transfer to happen.

                     For Tick to want to sell Dings internally they must make the same contribution
                     as they do externally. Internal VC are $8.50 (10.50-2=8.50), so as long as the
                     TP is $18 they would be happy to sell internally.

                     A is incorrect per the logic above.


                     B is incorrect, Tock would make $20 contribution per Dong at the price so would
                     be happy.

                     C is correct, Tick would only make $9 contribution per transfer which is less
                     than for an external sale.


                     D is incorrect, at a price of $18 or more Tick would be happy to make the
                     transfer, so they would sell up to their 100,000 capacity if Tock requested.


                     E is correct per the above workings.
