Based on your audit plan, the first cycle to audit will be revenue. The first thing you do is document the processes related to receiving and processing the various sources of income. On your initial visit, you were able to observe the following:Once customers have the items to purchase, they head to the register, where a clerk processes the sale. The pharmacy has three cash registers, but does not have an employee who specifically works as a cashier at each one. This provides flexibility in the operation because, of the three employees that the business has, one can collect at any of the cashiers when available. By not having to leave a single person as a cashier, the cashier can focus on providing more direct customer service, refilling merchandise on the shelves, and even assisting in receiving or dispatching merchandise from the store.At the…arrow_forwardConsider the scenario described by the statement “A customer can make many payments,but each payment is made by only one customer.” Use this scenario as the basis for anentity relationship diagram (ERD) representation using either Chen, Crow’s Foot or UMLClass Diagram.arrow_forwardDraw the ER diagram of the following requirements: A City Hall wants to manage the members of its entertainment centers.

- Create an ER diagram for a reservation system of hotel rooms considering the following facts. You should indicate some attributes and the primary key for each entity. ■ Hotel contains several rooms Customer can reserve one or more rooms One room contains one, two, or three beds ⚫ Bed can be normal (for one person), double, or spare (less expensive)arrow_forwardA derived attribute can be stored in a table or calculated on each occasion that it is required. An example of a derived attribute is your Grade Point Average which is calculated by adding together a score for each unit (e.g., HD=4, D=3, C=2, P=1, N=0) and dividing that by the number of units you have completed. Explain how the decision as to whether the Grade Point Average would be stored in a table or calculated would be made. You are administering a database in a large retail company that records sales at each of the company’s stores. Tuning the database to improve performance by adding indexes and optimising query execution is an important ongoing aspect of the physical database design.
