Explanation:

GAAP is an acronym for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. It comprises of the accounting standard, procedures and principles used by public institutions in the United States of America.

For external reporting purposes, US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) allows companies to use only the traditional format of the income statement.

When accountants prepare and compile financial statements for public firms, it must be in line with United States of America, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

Also, the financial accounting standards board (FASB) is a private, non-profit organization saddled with the responsibility of establishing and maintaining standard financial accounting and reporting for general guidance of individuals such as investors, issuers and auditors.

Additionally, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reviews registration statements of bond issuers, investment advisers etc, to ensure they comply with current laws and regulations.

1. True: GAAP is the term used to indicate the whole body of FASB authoritative literature.

2. False: Any company claiming compliance with GAAP must comply with most standards and interpretations but does not have to follow the disclosure requirements. All companies are required to follow the disclosure requirements at all times.

3. True: The primary governmental body that has influence over the FASB is the SEC.

4. False: The FASB has a government mandate and therefore does not have to follow due process in issuing a standard. FASB has to follow due process all the time in issuing standards.

The burden of a tax is shared by producers and consumers. Under what conditions will consumers pay most of the tax? Under what

juin [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Imposition of tax causes the market equilibrium price to increase. This creates a tax wedge by increasing the price paid by the buyer and reducing the price received by the seller.

So the burden of tax is shared by both buyers and sellers. Who will share most of the burden depends on their elasticity.

If the demand is more inelastic, consumers will share most of the burden. If the supply is more inelastic, producers will bear most of the burden.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The large round pizza with a 14 inch diameter

Explanation:

We can see this as a simple geometry problem. Which is the largest area? Two squares of 8 inches side or a 14 inch diameter circle? Let's see. The area of the square is side * side, in this case 8 * 8, so we have 64 squared inches in each of the two pizzas. That makes a total of 128 squared inches (64 + 64) for the two small squared pizzas. Now to calculate the circle, we must do the following formula: $\pi *r^{2}$ where r is the radium of the circle. The radium is half of the diameter, in this case 14/2=7. So the formula is 7^2, that is to say 49, multiplied by pi. This gives us approximately 153.93 squared inches, which is bigger than 128. A large round pizza with 14 inches of diameter gives more pizza.

We can also think that most people don't like the crust of the pizza. Two pizzas have more crust than one. So one pizza, besides being bigger, can save you to eat the crust and more cheese and sauce.
