Answer:

A. - The net public debt decreases

The net public debt decreases because the government has obtained more funds in tax revenue. For this reason, the government will likely run a budget surplus.

B. - The net public debt increases

The government was already running a budget deficit (albeit a small one). With the effects of the hurricane, the government will have to spend more to help the people affected, and will likely have to borrow even more, increasing its deficit.

C. - The net public debt remains unchanged

There was a transfer of funds from one government agency to the other, and the net effect of such transfer is likely to be very small to make any significant change in the net public debt. The net public debt remains unchanged.

shusha [124]

The answer is: averaged over time, Sheridan attends worship services regularly.

When we use principle of aggregation, we would not rely on single measurement to make a representation of a person's behavior. We rely more on multiple sets of measurements.

From the case above, Sheridan not attending the services for two weeks could be explained by things such as personal issues or physical illness. Since she considers herself as religious who attend regularly, it is very likely that averaged over time, Sheridan attends worship services regularly.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Accounting firms are prohibited from providing many types of consulting services to the companies they audit.

Explanation:

The main reason for this policy is that it does not allow conflicts of interest to arise that eventually produce widely known cases of fraud, such as those presented at the Enron and Worldcom companies.

The Enron case broke out in the U.S. when that energy giant announced what was once the biggest bankruptcy in the history of the country, with a debt of 31,000 million dollars, something overcome a few months later by the collapse of another colossus, WorldCom.

In June 2002 WorldCom, the second US telephone. and of the world, he admitted that he had lied in his accounting books for almost 4,000 million dollars and his actions - which shortly before touched his maximum of 16 dollars - collapsed to 20 cents. His bankruptcy exceeded Enron's: $ 35 billion of liabilities.
