sleet_krkn [62]3 years ago

Answer: The management may have to either underestimate current asset or overstate current liabilities

Current liabilities are typically settled using current assets, which are assets that are used up within one year. Examples of current liabilities include accounts payable, short-term debt, dividends, and notes payable as well as income taxes owed.

Explanation:

An overstated balance is an account balance that is reported as having a greater balance than it actually does, while an understated balance is one that is reported as having a lesser balance than it actually does... Because an expense account is understated, net income (or loss) is overstated.

Liabilities and expenses are exaggerated to understate the amount of profit and to avoid distributing funds to shareholders and pay less tax on the taxable profits. When a company is overstating its expenses and liabilities, it is showing the untrue inflated amount of obligations and expenses to the shareholders.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

a. semi-autonomous

Explanation:

Semi autonomous has a dictionary meaning that states being independent to some defined extent.

In the given instance also Devon thinks that her colleagues or coworkers are somewhere between the two categories, that is up to a certain extent they are really independent in their views. While on the other hand, at some situations their views depend on the things like views of coworkers.

Thus, using the term that the coworkers are semi autonomous is correct as to the concern they can exercise their own powers in half way.

7. Identifying costs of inflation Bob manages a grocery store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. He is paid in
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Shoe-leather Costs.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Bob manages a grocery store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. He is paid in cash twice per month. On payday, he immediately goes out and buys all the goods he will need over the next two weeks in order to prevent the money in his wallet from losing value.

What he can't spend, he converts into a more stable foreign currency for a steep fee. This is an example of the Shoes-leather costs of inflation.

A Shoe-leather costs refers to the costs of time, energy and effort people expend to mitigate the effect of high inflation on the depreciative purchasing power of money by frequently visiting depository financial institutions in order to minimize inflation tax they pay on holding cash.

Metaphorically, it ultimately implies that in order to protect the value of money or assets, some people wear out the sole of their shoes by going to financial institutions more frequently to make deposits.

Hence, Bob is practicing a shoe-leather cost of inflation so as to reduce the nominal interest rates.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:The information was expected is the most likely reason why a stock price might not react at all on the day that new information related to the stock’s issuer is released. Assuming the market is semi strong form efficient.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The major reason that the stock price might not react to the information related to that stock was the expectancy of information in advance. It was a piece of expected information. When something is expected then our response towards it does not bring much change.

Similarly, when it is already expected to get some information related to the stock, on receiving that information the stock price does not react. It means it might neither fall nor rise.

1. The classical dichotomy and the neutrality of money The classical dichotomy is the separation of real and nominal variables.
Archy [21]

Answer:

These two options represent nominal values:

-The price of a beignet is $3.00 in 2011.

-Maria's wage is $27.00 per hour in 2011.

They are expressed in monetary value without taking into account inflation, or without being represented in terms of something else.

This option represents real value:

-The price of a beignet is 0.33 paperback novels in 2011.

The price of a beignet, nominally $3.00 is being expressed in relation to the price of something else: paperback novels, whose nominal price is $9.00.

In other words, in real terms, a beignet costs a third of what a paperback novel costs.
