Question:

A small furniture store uses a software program called Blaze to do its basic bookkeeping. There is a good reason to believe that the accounting it provides is inaccurate. Several times when the accounts were carefully calculated by a bookkeeper using an adding machine, the resulting total differed from the total the computer gave.

The furniture store manager’s reasoning relies on which of the following assumptions?

  1. The criteria that the computer uses in determining what items are included in the accounting of a particular month differ from the criteria the bookkeeper uses.
  2. The inaccuracy of the computer's accounting does not result from a malfunction of the computer itself.
  3. It would be possible to modify the computer so that it calculated the store’s accounts more accurately.
  4. The inaccuracy of the computer's accounting does not result from a malfunction of the computer itself.
  5. The accuracy of the computer's accounting is not dependent on the volume of sales in a particular month.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

In order for the conclusion - that the accounting the computer provides is inaccurate – to be true, one must assume that the calculation one checks it by, namely the bookkeeper’s manual accounting, is accurate.
