Q4.

1. a) Periodic inventory system does not track of inventory, except periodically, and cannot distinguish between goods sold and goods stolen, lost and destroyed. b) Perpetual inventory system is more common recently because of scanner devices, it requires more record keeping than periodic system does and provides continual information regarding what was sold, where and when it was sold, and at what exactly price.

2. A perpetual inventory system will be more specific in distinguishing between cost of goods sold and cost of goods lost and stolen. The total, however, will equal the same number produced by a periodic system for cost of goods sold.

3. Another internal control:
Set the best procedure for taking inventory and make 2 accounting office employees responsible. One to complete the actual physical accounting, and another one to compare with the perpetual inventory card figure and then record the actual count on an inventory sheet.
