A student is asked to write a critique of this excerpt from utopia. if these metals were laid up in any tower in the kingdom it

would raise a jealousy of the prince and senate, and give birth to that foolish mistrust into which the people are apt to fall—a jealousy of their intending to sacrifice the interest of the public to their own private advantage. if they should work it into vessels, or any sort of plate, they fear that the people might grow too fond of it, and so be unwilling to let the plate be run down, if a war made it necessary, to employ it in paying their soldiers. to prevent all these inconveniences they have fallen upon an expedient which, as it agrees with their other policy, so is it very different from ours, and will scarce gain belief among us who value gold so much, and lay it up so carefully. they eat and drink out of vessels of earth or glass, which make an agreeable appearance, though formed of brittle materials; while they make their chamber-pots and close-stools of gold and silver, and that not only in their public halls but in their private houses. of the same metals they likewise make chains and fetters for their slaves, to some of which, as a badge of infamy, they hang an earring of gold, and make others wear a chain or a coronet of the same metal; and thus they take care by all possible means to render gold and silver of no esteem . . . which is a critique of the excerpt?

One appropriate critique for this excerpt is that <span>The effects of slavery are much worse than the effects of materialism.
The negative effect of slavery was the continuation of opression and discrimination that experienced by the descendants of the slave over ling period of time. Materialism on the other hand could only cause either abundance of goods, or bankruptcy</span>

Consider an economy described by the following equations:
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

a. exchange rate = 1

b. exchange rate = 1.5

Explanation:

(a)  National Saving = Private saving + public saving

Private saving = Y - C - T

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(Y – T)) - 1000

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1000 = 750

Public saving = T - G = 1000 - 1000 = 0

National saving = 750 + 0

= 750

Investment = 1000 - 50r = 1000 - 50*5

= 750

Y = C + I + G + NX

Trade Balance = Y - C - G - I = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1000 - 750 = 0

Thus Trade Balance = 0

NX = 0 => NX = 500 – 500e = 0

=> e = 1

Thus exchange rate = 1

(b)

National Saving = Private saving + public saving

Private saving = Y - C - T

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(Y – T)) - 1000

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1000 = 750

Public saving = T - G = 1000 - 1250 = -250

National saving = 750 - 250

= 500

Investment = 1000 - 50r = 1000 - 50*5

= 750

Y = C + I + G + NX

Trade Balance = Y - C - G - I = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1250 - 750 = -250

Thus Trade Balance = -250

NX = -250 => NX = 500 – 500e = -250

=> e = 750/500 = 1.5

Thus exchange rate = 1.5

Once the adjusting entries are posted, the adjusted trial balance is prepared to a.verify the correct flow of accounts into the
Sauron [17]

Answer:

d. verify that the debits and credits are in balance.

Explanation:

Option A is wrong because without adjusting entries, there is not necessary to adjust the flow of the financial statement.

Option B is wrong because, if we do not give adjusting entries, a debit and a credit entry will not come, and that cannot disturb the income statement.

Option C is wrong because whether the adjusting entries are posted or not, net income will always go to the statement of owner's equity.

The purpose of adjusting entries is to verify that the debits and credits are in balance. Therefore, <em>option D</em> is the answer.
