Alpha Engineers, Inc. needs a drill to continue its operations and orders one from Mining Supplies Company for a cost of $1,500. Alpha tells the supplier that it must receive the drill by Tuesday or it will lose $5,000 (the profit for a job they have scheduled on Tuesday). The supplier agrees to have the drill to Alpha Engineers by Monday. Mining Supplies ships the drill late and it does not arrive by Tuesday. Alpha sues for breach of contract. Alpha can recover:

a) nothing because breach of contract damage awards are limited to compensatory damages only.

b) $5,000, because this amount was foreseeable as a direct result of the breach of contract, consequential damages.

c) $1,500, because they should not have to pay for the drill due to the breach.

d) None of the above.

Insurance companies have internal controls in place to protect assets, monitor the accuracy of accounting records and encourage operational efficiencies and adherence to policies. these internal controls are generally of two types: administrative controls and accounting controls. administrative controls are the policies and procedures that guide the daily actions of employees. accounting controls are the policies and procedures that delineate authorizations of financial transactions that are done, safeguard assets, and provide reports on the company’s financial status in a reliable and timely manner. internal controls should include both preventative and detective controls. the purpose of preventative controls is to stop problems and errors before they occur. detective controls identify problems after they have occurred. preventative controls are usually more effective at reducing problems, but they also tend to be more expensive. internal controls must be flexible to adjust for changes in laws and regulations in addition to adding new products or modifying current ones. companies must also do regular analyses to ensure that the benefits of implementing the controls are worth their costs. when concerned about paying unwarranted insurance claims which type of control would be useful?
