  Answer:
  1.D
  Choice "D" is correct. The discovery of unexplained payments made to government employees would raise a question about the occurrence of an act of noncompliance with laws and regulations.
  Choice "B" is incorrect. Exchange of property for similar property in a nonmonetary transaction might be indicative of a related party transaction, not noncompliance with laws and regulations.
  Choice "C" is incorrect. The presence of several difficult-to-audit transactions affecting expense accounts is not indicative of noncompliance with laws and regulations.
  Choice "A" is incorrect. The failure to develop adequate procedures that detect unauthorized purchases is an internal control weakness, not an act of noncompliance with laws and regulations.
  2.B
  B is correct. The most attractive option would be to purchase from Brandy, pay in 15 days, and borrow from the bank. The nominal annual benefit of taking Brandy's terms is equal to 36.5% (1.5%/(100% - 1.5%) × 360 days/(30 days - 15 days)).
  A is incorrect. The nominal annual cost of not taking Platt's terms is equal to 14.7% (2%/(100% - 2%)) × (360 days - (60 days - 10 days)), which is less than the benefit from taking Brandy's terms.
  C. The nominal annual cost of not taking Carryl's terms is equal to 18.2% (1%/(100% - 1%) × (360 days - (30 days - 10 days)) which is less than the benefit from taking Brandy's terms.
  D. The company would benefit from taking Brandy’s discount terms.
  3.A
  A is correct. Generally, gain is recognized on a distribution only if the amount of cash received exceeds the basis for the partner's partnership interest. If both cash and noncash property are received, the basis for the partner's partnership interest is first reduced by the cash, before the noncash property. Here, since the $25,000 of cash received does not exceed the $30,000 basis for Ada's partnership interest, no gain is recognized.
  4.C
  This answer is correct because like for-profit organizations not-for-profit organizations must depreciate exhaustible fixed assets.
