<span>Annual gross income is the amount of money you make BEFORE taxes. Your adjusted gross income is how much money you make before taxes, MINUS anything you can deduct. You can deduct many things, like student loan interest payments and alimony. So, you would have an adjustment if you paid for student loans this year. If your gross income (not adjusted) is $20,000 and you paid $1000 on student loan interest, your adjusted gross income is $19000. The IRS will then see your income as only $19000 instead of $20,000 and will tax you on that lower amount.</span>

Answer:

c. Appreciate; Appreciate

Explanation:

Triangular arbitrage is the act of taking an opportunity resulting from a pricing discrepancy among three different currencies when the currency's exchange rates do not exactly match up

This cases are very rare and for a quite short period of time so there are very few traders who takes the advantange of them.

Lets study th given cases here:

A) NZ dollar Versus Mexican Peso

The exchage rate is 1NZ$= 2 Mexican Pesos (MXP)

But if we apply the triangular arbitrage:

1 NZ dollar = 0.3333 US$

and we know tha 1 US$= 7 Mexican Pesos (MXP

Then 1 NZ dollar = 0.3333* 7 MXP= 2.333 MXP

So the NZ dollar appreciates

B) MXP Versus U$S

The exchage rate is 1 MXP= (1/7) U$S

But if we apply the triangular arbitrage:

1 MXP = 0.5 NZ

and we know tha 1 NZ= 0.333 US$

Then 1 MXP = 0.5* 0.333 U$S= 0.166 U$S

So the MXP appreciates

Anton [14]

Answer:

c. Net income will be overstated for the current year.

Explanation:

Depreciation is defined as the reduction in the value of an asset over the period of it's useful life.

The deductions are calculated and taken out of the asset value on the balance sheet.

The adjusting entry for depreciation at the end of year is a debit to Depreciation Expense and a credit to Accumulated depreciation.

If this entry is no passed it means that Depreciation Expense is not recognised for that year.

Net income will be overstated because generally expenses will be understated.
