Question 4 Flowers by Design have been struggling with the high cost of wages associated with keeping their shop open for the same hours as the local supermarket, which has recently started to sell flowers. They wish to implement e-business principles to expand their customer base and streamline their business operations. One strategy for implementation is the establishment of a website to enable the sale of flowers and other gift products to a larger number of customers. In approximately 250 words: define the term e-business explain three benefits for customers wanting to trade online with Flowers by Design outline two control measures the business would need to implement to ensure they have a safe and reliable website. Question 5 Mr Dodd owns a sporting goods business called Dodd s Sporting Needs. He has two stores in the city and maintains an office at one of these stores. He employs Stacey McKee as the full-time office manager and also employs two store managers, two shop assistants and one part-time/casual shop assistant. Stacey feels that it is her responsibility as the office manager to control the cash flow of the business. All unpaid invoices are kept in a folder and Stacey allows one day per month to pay the outstanding accounts through the cash payments journal. Mr Dodd allows Stacey to sign the cheques in his absence. All staff are paid on a weekly basis through a direct deposit from the business s bank account to their own bank accounts. At the end of each working day, Stacey visits the other store to collect the day s takings. A discrepancy between the cash register tape and the actual cash in the till does not occur very often and, when it does, Stacey makes up the difference from petty cash. In the event of an excess of cash this is added to the petty cash. The following day Stacey records the cash register summary amount in the cash receipts journal and does the banking from the previous day on her way to the second store in the afternoon. She completes the deposit slip on arrival at the bank. A bank statement is received by the business on the first day of every month. Stacey records the balance of the account on a slip of paper which she brings to the attention of Mr Dodd. She then shreds the statement in order to prevent unauthorised access to this information. As a consultant for Mr Dodd, prepare a memorandum (approximately 350 words in length) that will: explain why cash control is important to Dodd s Sporting Needs identify and explain why the current cash control practices and procedures are either appropriate or inappropriate recommend alternative practices and procedures that could be implemented to improve the inappropriate controls over cash.
