Answer:
A. Unaffected
B. Unaffected
C. Understated
D. Overstated
Explanation:
C. Understated.
Understated balance is one that is reported as having a lesser balance than it actually does. example of what could cause the situation in which cash is understated is that when check is written on the disbursing bank on the last day of December with a credit to cash, and an associated debit to some expense account so as to decrease reported profits and taxes be it (direct or indirect tjaxes) for the year.
Another example is when a utility bill that is suppose to be paid by the last day of the month but failed to record the expenses, under the accrual basis of accounting, the company should recognize the expenses now even though the bill is not yet due. Until the bill is recorded, the utilities payable is understated
d. Overstated.
An overstated balance is an account balance that is reported as having a greater balance than it actually does, example of such situation is that in which an employee has misappropriated funds during the year, and draw a check transferring funds to the account with the shortage so as to cover the shortage. As of December 31, the shortage is replaced, with no reduction as yet recorded in the account on which it is drawn.
In second example of understated, expense account is understated and because of this net income is overstated.
Answer:
The money multiplier and money supply for this banking system is 10 and $1,000 billion respectively
Explanation:
The computation of the money multiplier and the money supply is shown below:
As we know that
Money multiplier is
= 1 ÷ required reserve ratio
= 1 ÷ 0.10
= 10
So, the money supply is
= Total Reserves × Money Multiplier
= $100 billion × 10
= $1,000 billion
hence, the money multiplier and money supply for this banking system is 10 and $1,000 billion respectively
Answer:
Yes, Hazel needs to pay extra $700
Explanation:
As per pre-existing duty rule, a person is obligated to perform his duty at the consideration agreed upon initially. Any modification to the contract is void.
Exceptions to this rule:
- As per new contract, if the person undertaking his duty hires another person to perform the work so as to complete it in time, then modifications are valid and enforceable.
- Modifications are valid in case of unforeseen contingencies like war, recession, change in economic conditions and strikes.
In this case, Hazel agreed to pay $700 extra. Under pre-existing duty rule, she is not required to pay Eugene extra $700 but since Eugene took additional help exception to the rule applies and Hazel is obligated to pay $700 extra.
Answer:
1. Rise
2. Increasing
3. Rise
Explanation:
For example, the sticky-wage theory asserts that output prices adjust more quickly to changes in the price level than wages do, in part because of long-term wage contracts. Suppose a firm signs a contract agreeing to pay its workers $15 per hour for the next year, based on an expected price level of 100. If the actual price level turns out to be 110, the firm's output prices will RISE, and the wages the firm pays its workers will remain fixed at the contracted level. The firm will respond to the unexpected increase in the price level by INCREASING the quantity of output it supplies. If many firms face similarly rigid wage contracts, the unexpected increase in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to RISE above the natural level of output in the short run.
The above explanation is the reason why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run
