SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 5 - Question 1

You are the newly appointed financial controller in LMB Ltd., a large private engineering company. This is your first appointment in industry having undertaken your training at a large accountancy firm where most of your experience was gained in the audit of large NSE 500 clients. LMB Ltd. makes components which are used in the manufacture of various household products and it has a wide customer base from large household names through to small local private businesses.

One of your first tasks is to undertake a view of aged debtors. Whilst undertaking your review you find that a small number of customers have credit balances on their sales ledger accounts. The amounts relate to invoices which are now over 9 months old and which appear to have been paid twice. You find this odd and decide to raise the issue with your boss, Dushyant, the Financial Director, at your next meeting.

The following morning, Dushyant calls you into his office and asks you how you are settling into your position. You respond that, although you are still finding your feet, you have been making a major effort to get up to speed with the company's business and systems and controls. Dushyant appreciates your enthusiasm and is pleased that he has managed to recruit someone so enthusiastic.

Dushyant then asks whether anything has come to your attention so far. You advise him of what you have found in relation to the customers who appear to have paid twice. Dushyant laughs and tells you that it balances out in the end.

Furthermore, he produces copies of letters from a file which are addressed to the Financial Directors at the respective customers informing them of their company's overpayment. You return to your desk - rather bewildered by his comments. Customers have overpaid and he knows this to be the case, yet he has no intention of returning their money unless prompted by the customer. 

You find it perplexing to think that the Financial Directors of the companies that have overpaid have not responded on being notified about the outstanding invoices.

 

Q. A&M Ltd. was one of the customers that had paid twice. Despite being notified about the same, the company had not responded to the formal communication sent by LMB Ltd. Yet, the Financial Director of A&M Ltd is very distraught that LMB Ltd. did not issue a refund sooner, especially when the two companies continued their association. A&M Ltd. has now threatened to exit all contracts with LMB Ltd.Which of the following steps would you take to salvage the situation? 

Detailed Solution for SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 5 - Question 1

Option 1 can be eliminated since it is not required that LMB Ltd. should apologize since both parties are at fault. Option 2 can be ruled out too since it is not required that the company pay an interest to A&M Ltd. Option 3 is incorrect since they would not salvage the situation in any manner. Asking for an apology or refusing a refund will not pacify A&M Ltd. as they have already threatened to stop all business with the company. Option 4 alone holds since it not only pacifies A&M Ltd. by offering them a better deal, but it also ensures that they continue their association with LMB Ltd. Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 5 - Question 14

A 60 year old father in his will divides his money among his three sons in the ratio of their ages. The first (eldest) son is 8 years older than the third son. The second son is 4 years younger to the first son. The third son's age is 1/3rd of his father's age. If the father had Rs. 12,00,000, the share of second son is:

Detailed Solution for SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 5 - Question 14

The age of 3rd son = 1/3 × 60 = 20 yrs
Age of 1st son = 20 + 8 = 28 yrs
Age of 2nd son = 28 - 4 = 24 years
Ratio of their ages = 28 : 24 : 20 = 7 : 6 : 5
As per question, 7x + 6x + 5x = 12,00,000, i.e., 18x = 12,00,000
So, x = 66,666.66
Share of 2nd son = 6x = 6 × 66,666.66 = Rs. 4,00,000

SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 5 - Question 15

Brian and Sam are two brothers who work at a multinational company in the New York City. The ratio of monthly incomes of Brian and Sam is 3 : 4 and the ratio of their monthly savings is 2 : 3, respectively. It is known that Brian spends two-thirds of his income each month. Find the respective ratio of their monthly expenditures.

Detailed Solution for SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 5 - Question 15

It is known that expenditure of Brian is 2rd/3 of his income.
Let Brian`s monthly income be $36.
Then, his expenditure will be $24.
Total savings of Brian = $12
Ratio of savings of Brian to that of Sam is given as 2 : 3.
Hence, savings of Sam = $18
Now, ratio of incomes = Brian : Sam = 3 : 4
As Brian`s income = $36, then income of Sam will be $48.
So, ratio of expenditure of Brian to that of Sam = 24 : 30 or 4 : 5

SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 5 - Question 20

If sentence (3), 'In most economic systems, the prices of the majority of goods and services do not change over short periods of time' is the first sentence, what is the order of other sentences after rearrangement?

1. In some, it is of course possible for an individual to bargain over prices, because they are not fixed in advance.
2. When planning his expenditure, he must therefore accept these fixed prices.
3. In most economic systems, the prices of the majority of goods and services do not change over short periods of time.
4. A consumer will go on buying bananas for as long as he continues to be satisfied.
5. If he buys more, he shows that his satisfaction is still greater than his dislike of losing money.
6. In general terms, however, the individual cannot change the prices of the commodities he wants.

Detailed Solution for SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 5 - Question 20

The context is about utility or satisfaction. 'In some' in sentence 1 relates with 'most economic systems' in 3. The word 'however' in sentence 6 presents a contradictory picture to 'are not fixed' in sentence 3. So, 6 will follow 3-1 link. Sentence 2 (accept these fixed prices) follows sentence 6 (cannot change the prices). 'He' in sentence 5 refers to 'consumer' in sentence 4; both relate to an example of buying bananas. The sequence is: 3-1-6-2-4-5.

SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 5 - Question 21

Directions: Rearrange the following six sentences (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) in the proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph and then answer the question given below.

1. Officials of the Russian-American Company reasoned that a permanent settlement along the more temperate shores of California could serve both as a source of food and a base for exploiting the abundant sea otters in the region.
2. The Russians had begun their expansion into the North American continent in 1741 with a massive scientific expedition to Alaska.
3. By the early 19th century, the semi-governmental Russian-American Company was actively competing with British and American fur-trading interests as far south as the shores of Spanish-controlled California.
4. As a growing empire with a long Pacific coastline, Russia was in many ways well positioned to play a leading role in the settlement and development of the West.
5. Returning with news of abundant sea otters, the explorers inspired Russian investment in the Alaskan fur trade and some permanent settlement.
6. Russia's Alaskan colonists found it difficult to produce their own food because of the short growing season of the far north.

Q. Which of following is the FOURTH sentence after rearrangement?

Detailed Solution for SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 5 - Question 21

The context is about Russian attempt to expand their region. Sentence 4 is the leading sentence. It introduces Russia - 'as a growing empire'. The words 'begun their expansion' in 2 link with 'as a growing empire' in sentence 4. The word 'explorers' in 5 links with 'expedition' in 2. 'Fur-trading interests' in 3 refer to 'fur trade' in 5. So, 3 follows 5. The sequence becomes: 4-2-5-3. The explorers had excited the Russians for fur trade in Alaska but there was conflict of interest. Russians also found it difficult to produce food there (sentence 6) and the alternative is provided in sentence 1 (reasoned that ... California could serve both as a source of food). So, the final sequence becomes: 4-2-5-3-6-1.

SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 5 - Question 22
