After Kate Graduated from College, Her Grandfather Created a Bookkeeping

Question 133

Multiple Choice

After Kate graduated from college, her grandfather created a bookkeeping position for her in his furniture retail business. Her older brother is in charge of purchasing inventory for the store, yet often the store runs out of popular furniture or becomes overstocked with pieces that must be marked down to be sold. Kate is confident that her brother is more suited for handling accounting and finance, while she has a sense of what sells and how much sells. Although she has spoken with her grandfather about it a couple of times, he seems reluctant to change. As the founder of the business, he may:


A) find it difficult to remove family members from positions, even if it is not good for the business.
B) find it difficult to retrain Kate for the job, and even though his business is losing opportunities, he will stay the course.
C) know that profit margins have declined, but he doesn't care.
D) have a bigger picture of things, and not feel the need to respond to a family member's request.
