What did president hoover do to devise strategies for improving the economy?

olga nikolaevna [1]

The above answer is definitely correct in its details. I'd just like to emphasize a couple of important ideas about Hoover's response.

He tried to do more to fix the economy than any president had ever done before. The government had been very hands-off up to that point.He believed the government should not go in debt no matter what. This limited what he was willing to do. Please note that economists back then agreed with this idea so it's not like Hoover was just being mean. In fact, FDR believed the same thing and it's often said that he undermined the New Deal by trying to balance the budget too soon.

So, overall what I want to point out is that Hoover did more than anyone else, and he did what most economists of the time would have said was the right thing to do. But it didn't work and so he's seen as one of the worst presidents ever, which seems a bit unfair.

"compare intel's actual and pro forma (as if) ratios of intangible assets to long-lived tangible assets in 2012. use r&d cap

kobusy [5.1K]

Since Intel has a history of effectively transforming R&D investment into income, the pro-forma version of the ration seems to be of more significant. A company starting, for instance, would be unalike: its track record would be much poorer and probabilities are that the criteria set in place would not be as rough as Intel’s. Therefore, it appears that the significance hinge on the kind of business: if future benefit is more of a doubt, then R&D should be expensed. The contradictory is true if benefit is almost certain. Intel also has the advantage of being very vibrant with its R&D objectives and having exact, measurable standards. They note obviously what the funds are apportioned to and what the end outcomes should be of the growth.

Aaron Company uses the periodic inventory cost flow method. If Aaron's ending inventory is understated due to an accounting erro

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

a. net income= understated, retained earnings= understated

Explanation:

In accounting and auditing it is established that ending inventory and net income moves in the same direction when it comes to being overstated or understated. That implies that if ending inventory is understated, then cost of goods sold will be overstated by the same amount, and when costs are overstated it finally leads to net income and gross profit being understated.

Furthermore, since it is the net income that will be added to retained earnings thereafter, it implies that the lesser the net income the lesser will be retained earnings. Hence, understatement of ending inventory is understatement of net income and also retained earnings.
