The currency in country X is the Krone while country Y uses the Euro. Country Y has recently experienced
an increase in its exchange rate with Country X. Which of the following effects would result in Country Y?
? A stimulus to exports in Country Y
? An increase in the costs of imports from Country X
? Reducing demand for imports from Country X
? A reduction in the rate of cost-push inflationWhy is the answer to this is the 4th option and not the 3rd?
April 28, 2021 at 6:52 pm #619102So, let’s say the starting point is: 2 Krone (country X) = 1 Euro (Country Y)
If the exchange rate increases as suggested then a possible outcome would be 2.2 Krone (country X) = 1 Euro (Country Y)
A So an item costing 100 Euro in Y would have cost 200 K; now costs 220. A is incorrect.
B An item costing 100K in X would have cost 50E in Y, now costs 45E. B is incorrect.
C Would increase demand for imports (per above). C is incorrect
D Country Y imports are cheaper (per above), so less impact on inflation. Correct.
April 29, 2021 at 7:17 pm #619212Which of the following activities create vulnerability to fraud?
(i) Calculating payslips
(ii) Preparing delivery notes
(iii) Paying supplier invoices
(iv) Meeting budgets and performance targets? (iii) only
? (i) and (iii) only
? (i) and (ii) only
? (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)How does (iv) create vulnerability to fraud?
April 29, 2021 at 8:51 pm #619220If that’s all of the question, then it’s dreadful.
I, ii and iii: these operations all have to be performed. Whether fraud is encouraged depends on the checks and controls that are present.
Iv: does not of itself increase vulnerability to fraud. To do that would require something like “Pressure to meet bud and performance targets”. If an employee was desperate to earn a bonus or avoid disciplinary action then they might be encouraged to misreporting results.

April 30, 2021 at 1:11 pm #619295The halo effect is a term that describes giving positive attributes to a person based on a first impression, whether or not they deserve those positive attributes. For example, a good-looking job applicant might be judged to have better technical abilities than a plainer candidate.
