Answer:
Forbid combinations in restraint of trade and monopolizing.
Explanation:
The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 is mainly aimed at preventing anti competitive agreements and unilateral conduct by a group of businesses aligning with one another. Such alignment results in restraint of trade and monopoly.
This Act enables the Department of Justice to bring charges against violators of antitrust laws and they may face as much as treble damages (three times of the damage caused to other parties).
Artificial raising of price and restriction of supply of products or trade are prohibited under this Act.

Answer:
Two adjustments must be made to year 1's financial statements:
- The income statement must be adjusted since net income increased because cost of goods sold decreased.
- The balance sheet must be adjusted since retained earnings will increase because net income increased.
Explanation:
The retrospective approach hides any changes with the accounting methods, and shows the financial statements as if the new accounting method was used all along and there was no error or change.
From an accounting standpoint, stockholders' investment and revenues increase the assets of the company without adding to the liabilities. Therefore according to the equation (A = L + E), equity must increase.
Similarly, issuing dividends and paying expenses pays cash out of the company, which decreases assets without changing liabilities. Therefore equity must decrease.
Another way to think of it is: what contributes to the company's profit and/or value, and what decreases these things? Well, revenues and people investing in the company are good (and therefore good for stockholders), and giving cash out and paying expenses are costs to the company (and therefore decrease value for stockholders).
