Answer:

<em>In theory, both are riskless but in practicality they aren't completely risk free.</em>

Explanation:

<em>In investment theory</em>, the investment in government bonds is <em>riskless </em>, irrespective of the investment maturity period because they are backed by the government.

However, <em>in practicality</em> every investment involves risk whether it's a short term or long term. However, a short term investment like the one specified in <em>statement 2</em> involves lower time frame and thereby lower volatility, hence it implies <em>lower risk</em>. The investment specified in <em>statement 1</em> is of longer term and hence can involve higher volatility, hence it implies <em>higher risk.</em>

<em><u>Note</u></em><em>- All the governments are prone to risk practically</em> because they are also part of the global financial and economic system and hence, they have to manage their budget balances prudently. Every investment thereby involves <em>risk</em>, it's just the <em>financial backing</em> of the <em>government financial</em> <em>instruments</em> which makes them less risky as compared to the other financial instruments.

So, residents can consume maximum 10 hams (same amount as produced) in a month.

Which of the following is not a role of accounting in business?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": To personally guarantee loans of the business.

Explanation:

Accounting is the recording of financial transactions of a business or organization. It also includes the process of summarizing, analyzing and reporting these transactions -given a method- in financial statements. The financial statements that accountants create provide critical information for many key people such as managers, stakeholders, and the corresponding agencies of the government.

However, <em>securing a loan for a company will rely on the credit history of the institution which directly does not involve one of the functions of corporate accounting.</em>
