Answer: Option A    

Explanation: A money based payment system is the one in which the transactions involving exchange of goods and services are performed by using a common denomination called money. In such a system any commodity can be valued on the basis of money.

However in a barter system one commodity is exchanged for the other. Therefore, the double coincidence of wants is needed for fulfilling these transactions. The actual value cannot be determined for any commodity.

  From the above we can conclude that the correct option is B.

Ket [755]

Answer:

The answer is narrower competitive scope.

Explanation:

In a narrow competitive scope, a business might choose a focus strategy which can be oriented to cost leadership or differentiation. When implementing a focus strategy, the company chooses to only produce goods or provide services to a certain segment of people. In a cost leadership strategy, the business might choose to engage on initiatives that would lead it to be identified from its ability to provide the lowest possible price for its target segment. When choosing a differentiation strategy instead, the company’s competitive advantage would be its ability to provide a wide range of products.

If the accountant forgets to adjust the Prepaid Expenses account, there will be:_____
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Option B, an overstatement of net income, is the right answer.

Explanation:

Option “B” is correct because when the prepaid expenses occur then it is recorded in the balance sheet on the asset side and the cash will be reduced by the same amount. However, if the prepaid expenses have not been adjusted then it will show the overstatement of net income because cash has been gone so actual cash will be lower than the recoded cash. Thus, option B is right.
