Hardcase Luggage Shop is a small retail establishment located in a large shopping mall. This shop has implemented the following procedures regarding inventory items: a. Because the shop carries mostly high-quality, designer luggage, all inventory items are OBJ. 1 tagged with a control device that activates an alarm if a tagged item is removed from the store.
b. Because te display ara of the store is limited, only a sample of each piece of luggage is kept on the selling floor. Whenever a customer selects a piece of luggage, the salesclerk gets the appropriate piece from the store?s stockroom. Because all salesclerk needs access to the stockroom, it is not locked. The stockroom is adjacent to the break rooms used by all mal employees.
c. Whenever the Hardcase luggage shop receives a shipment of new inventory, the items are taken directly to the stockroom. Hardcsse's accountant uses the vendor's invoice to record the amount of inventory received.
