Discussion Questions l

11.(SO 1) How might the sales and cash collection processes at a Wal-Mart store differfrom
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

the sales and cash collection processes at McDonald’s? Wal-Mart sells items that are
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

pre-priced and bar coded with that price. Therefore the cash registers at Wal-Mart use
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

bar code scanners. However, McDonalds sells fast foods that are notbar coded. The
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

cash registers at McDonalds use touch screen systems that requirea cashier to indicate
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

the items purchased. The cash collection processes are not different. In both cases, the
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

employee collects the cash or credit card, and returns any change.
l l l l l l l l l l l

12. (SO 1) Can you think of any procedures in place at McDonald’s that are intended to
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

ensure the accuracy of your order? Student responses may vary, however, following
l l l l l l l l l l l l

are a few examples: Often, at either the drive-through or the inside cash register, the
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

customer can see a screen that displays the items ordered. In addition,a fast food
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

restaurant uses pre-designed slots to hold certain types of menu items. When a
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

customer orders a particular sandwich, the person filling the order knows exactly which
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

slot to pull the sandwich from. Each customer receives a printed receipt with the items
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

listed and the customer can verify the accuracy.
l l l l l l l l

13.(SO 1) How might the sales and cash collection processes at Boeing Co. (maker of
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

commercial passenger jets) differ from the sales and cash collection processes at
l l l l l l l l l l l l

Page 1-1 l

,Chapter 1 Solutions l l Introduction to AIS l l

McDonald’s? Boeing does not sell to end-user consumers; rather, it sells to companies l l l l l l l l l l l l

such as airlines. Therefore Boeing does not have stores, nor inventoryin stores, nor
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

cash registers to process sales. Boeing is more likely to maintain a sales force that visits
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

potential customers to solicit sales. Those sales may be entered by the salesperson
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

into a laptop computer connected to Boeing’s network. McDonald’s, on the other hand,
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

sells to consumers, uses order input touch screensat each location, and maintains
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

supplies of perishable food products.
l l l l l

14. (SO 1) Are there business processes that do not in some way affect accounting records
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

or financial statements? There may be processes that do not directly affectaccounting
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

records (such as recruiting and hiring a new employee), but all processes have a direct
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

or indirect affect on accounting records. All processes useresources such as material or
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

employee time. Therefore, all processes have expenses related to those processes that
l l l l l l l l l l l l

will affect the accounting records.
l l l l l

15.(SO 2) Briefly describe the five components of an accounting information system.
l l l l l l l l l l l l

1. Work steps within a business process that capture accounting data as the l l l l l l l l l l l

business process occurs. l l l

2. Manual or computer-based records that capture the accounting data from l l l l l l l l l

the business processes. l l l

3. Internal controls within the business process that safeguard assets and l l l l l l l l l

ensure accuracy and completeness of the data. l l l l l l l

4. Work steps that process, classify, summarize, and consolidate the raw l l l l l l l l l

accounting data. l l

5. Work steps that generate both internal and external reports. l l l l l l l l

16. (SO 2) Describe how sales data are captured and recorded at a restaurant such as
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

Applebee’s. At most Applebee’s restaurants, a server writes the order on a pad and
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

carries that pad to a cash register. The server enters the order on a touch screen
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

terminal. The order information is then displayed on a terminal in the kitchen. Whenthe
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

customer has finished the meal, the server prints a check and delivers the checkto the
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

table. The customer pays the server by using cash or a credit card. The server
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

processes the payment on the touch screen register and returns the change or credit
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

card slip to the customer.
l l l l l

17.(SO 2) What occurs in an accounting information system that classifies accounting
l l l l l l l l l l l l

transactions? For each business process that affects accounting records, the
l l l l l l l l l l

accounting information system must capture any resulting accounting data, recordthe
l l l l l l l l l l l

data, process it through classification, summarization, and consolidation, and generate
l l l l l l l l l l

appropriate reports.
l l

18. (SO 2) What are the differences between internal reports and external reports generated
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

by the accounting information system? Internal reports are used by management to
l l l l l l l l l l l l

oversee and direct processes within the organization. Externalreports are the financial
l l l l l l l l l l l l

statements used by investors and creditors to make
l l l l l l l l

Page 1-2 l

,Chapter 1 Solutions l l Introduction to AIS l l

decisions about investing or extending credit to the organization. l l l l l l l l

19. (SO 3) What types of businesses are in the supply chain of an automobile manufacturer?
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

The types of businesses in an automaker’s supply chain are oftenmanufacturers of
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

parts used in cars. This would include manufacturers of tires, batteries, steel, plastic,
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

vinyl and leather, as well as many other manufacturers making the thousands of parts in
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

a car. l l

20. (SO 3) When a company evaluates a supplier of materials, what kinds of characteristics
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

might be evaluated? The supplier’s characteristics that are likely to be evaluated include
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

price and payment terms, quality, reliability of the materials, aswell as whether the
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

supplier can deliver materials when needed.
l l l l l l

21. (SO 3) How do you think a company may be able to influence a supplier to meet its
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

business processing requirements? A company may be able to influence a supplierby
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

choosing only suppliers that meet expectations regarding the terms of price, quality,
l l l l l l l l l l l l

and delivery timing. Those suppliers that do not meet these expectations may not be
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

used in the future. This exerts some influence over suppliers, as the suppliers will lose
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

business if they do not meet the buyer’s requirements.
l l l l l l l l l

22.(SO 4) Describe any IT enablement that you have noticed at a large retail store suchas
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

Wal-Mart or Target. The most noticeable IT enablement is the use of bar coded systems
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

on the products and how they are read by the cash registers.
l l l l l l l l l l l l

23. (SO 4) How do you think the World Wide Web (WWW) has led to business process
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

reengineering at companies such as Lands End or J.Crew? Prior to the World WideWeb,
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

customers placed orders either on the phone or by mail. Both phone and mail orders
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

require employees to take the order and enter it into the computer system. Using online
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

sales, customers enter their own orders and no company personnel areneeded to key
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

orders into the computer system. Therefore, there was a major change in the number of
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

people employed to key orders.
l l l l l

24. (SO 4) What two kinds of efficiency improvement result from business process
l l l l l l l l l l l l

reengineering in conjunction with IT systems? The use of IT systems usually leadsto two
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

kinds of efficiency improvements. First, the underlying processes are reengineered
l l l l l l l l l l

(through rethinking and redesign) to be conducted more efficiently. Second, the IT
l l l l l l l l l l l l

systems improve the efficiency of the underlying processes.
l l l l l l l l

25.(SO 5) Explain the differences between a field, a record, and a file. A field is one setof
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

characters that make up a single data item. For example, last name would be a field in a
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

customer database. A record is a collection of related fields for a single entity. For
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

example, last name, first name, address, phone number, and credit card number fields
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

might make up a single customer record. A file is a collection of similar records. For
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

example, all customer records together make up a customer file.
l l l l l l l l l l

Page 1-3 l

, Chapter 1 Solutions l l Introduction to AIS l l

26. (SO 5) Explain why random access files would be preferable to sequential access files
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

when payroll personnel are changing a pay rate for a single employee. When the desired
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

action is to access a single record, random access is preferable. If sequential access
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

storage is used, all records must be read in sequence until the desired record is reached.
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

On the other hand, random access allows a single recordto be accessed without the
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

necessity of reading other records. This makes it more efficient to access a particular
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

employee record to change the pay rate.
l l l l l l l

27. (SO 5) Why do real-time systems require direct access files? If transactions are to be
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

processed online and in real-time, it is necessary that the computer access a single
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

record immediately. Thus, direct access files are required so the records canbe
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

accessed in real-time.
l l l

28. (SO 5) Why is data contained in the data warehouse called nonvolatile? Each timea new
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

transaction is completed, parts of the operational data must be updated. Therefore, the
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

operational database is volatile – with constantly changing information. However, the
l l l l l l l l l l l

data warehouse does not change with each transaction.The data warehouse is only
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

changed when periodic updates occur. The data in thedata warehouse are nonvolatile
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

because they do not change constantly.
l l l l l l

29.(SO 5) How is an extranet different from the Internet? The extranet allows accessonly to
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

selected outsiders, while the Internet is open to an unlimited number of outsiders
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

(essentially anyone having access to the Internet). On the other hand, extranets are
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

typically used by companies to interact with specific suppliers and customers who have
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

been granted access to a company’s network.
l l l l l l l

30.(SO 6) Prepare a list of the types of businesses that you have been in that use pointof sale
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

systems. Student responses may vary, but would likely include department stores,
l l l l l l l l l l l

grocery stores, specialty stores, restaurants, gas stations, and car washes.
l l l l l l l l l l

31.(SO 6) What do you think would be the advantages of an e-payables system over a
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

traditional system that uses paper purchase orders and invoices? An e-payables
l l l l l l l l l l l

system should be faster and more efficient than a paper-based system. In addition,
l l l l l l l l l l l l l

fewer processing errors should be expected from an e-payables system.
l l l l l l l l l l

32. (SO 7) Describe why enterprise risk management is important. All organizations face
l l l l l l l l l l l l

risks and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) assists managers in reducing and
l l l l l l l l l l l

controlling risk. ERM also involves personnel across the entire business organization,
l l l l l l l l l l l

as they implement strategies to achieve the organization’s objectives.
l l l l l l l l l

33. (SO 7) What is the difference between general controls and application controls?
l l l l l l l l l l l l

General controls apply overall to the IT accounting system. They are controls that are
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

not restricted to any particular accounting application. An example of a general control is
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

the use of passwords to allow only authorized users to log into an IT-basedaccounting
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

system. Application controls are used specifically in accounting applications to control
l l l l l l l l l l l

inputs, processing, and output. Application controls are
