This is a bit confusing. I'm not sure if the high costs mean the department is inefficient or just not effective. I'll need to carefully consider the wording of each answer choice.

Hmm, the key seems to be understanding whether the accounting department's objectives are aligned with Oval's overall business goals. I'll need to think through the implications of the department being able to establish and achieve appropriate objectives, but having high costs.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. Is the ARP table used for mapping IP addresses to MAC addresses? That might be relevant here, but I'm not confident.

Wait, so the accounting department's costs are too high, but the goals are aligned? Sounds like someone's cooking the books...or maybe just cooking the books for their own personal cookbook!
