Help me find the answer to this one!
Ivy Bishnoi is preparing a report for the engagement partner of an existing client, Scooter Ltd., an importer of scooters and other low- powered motorcycles. Ivy has been investigating certain aspects of Scooter's business given the change in economic conditions over the past 12 months. She has found that Scooter's business, which experienced rapid growth over its first five years in operation, has slowed significantly during the past year. Initially, sales of scooters were boosted by good economic conditions and solid employment growth, coupled with rising gas prices. Consumers needed transportation to get to work and the high gas prices made the relatively cheap running costs of scooters seem very attractive. In addition, the low purchase price of a small motorcycle or scooter, at between $3,000 and $8,000, meant that almost anyone who had a job could obtain a loan to buy one. However, Ivy has found that the sales of small motorcycles and scooters have slowed significantly and that all importers of these products, not just Scooter, are being adversely affected. The onset of an economic recession has restricted employment growth, and those people who still have jobs are less certain of continued employment. In addition, a slowdown in the world economy has caused oil prices to fall, further reducing demand for this type of economical transport. Ivy has also discovered that, due to the global slowdown, the finance company used by Scooter's customers to finance the purchase of scooters and motorcycles has announced that it will not be continuing to provide loans for any type of vehicle with a purchase price of less than $10,000. Question 5 of 12 0.5 / 1 ji Attempts: 1 of 3 used (b) * Your answer is incorrect. Given the knowledge of the business documented by Ivy above, which of the following would be increased risks for Scooter? (Several choices may be correct.) There is an increased risk management may move sales from a future period back to the current period. There is an increased risk of theft of scooters. There is an increased risk of revenue recognition issues-management could loan scooters to potential customers and record sales despite loosened rights of return. There is a risk that expenses may be moved into the next period to improve the current period profit. There is a going concern risk-given the declining sales, is the business able to pay its debts as they fall due? What are the terms of financing between Scooter and its banks? Is Scooter locked into a lease on premises that are now too large? There is an increased risk that Scooter will not be able to source scooters from its suppliers. There is a risk associated with staff layoffs. e Textbook and Media Save for Later Attempts: 2 of 3 used Submit
