Answer:
$100 million ; $10 million
Explanation:
Required reserve ratio (r) = 10%
Worth of bond = $10,000,000
The smallest increase can be thought of as being the $10million generated from open market operation and could be held by the bank as reserve.
To calculate the largest increase in deposit:
Money multiplier * deposit (worth of bond)
Money multiplier = (1 / reserve ratio)
Money multiplier = (1 / 0.1) = 10
Increase in deposit = 10 * $10,000,000 = $100,000,000 ( $100 million)
Answer:
Contingent liabilities refer to those obligations which might arise in the near future based upon the happening or non happening of a certain event and it's outcome.
Such liabilities are recorded if there is likeliness of an event happening and when they can be reasonably quantified and estimated.
In the given case, the automobile manufacturer will probably be required to recall it's products. The amount can be estimated.
In such cases, such expense is to be recognized in the income statement and at the same time a liability for such expenses needs to be created in the balance sheet. Product recall refers to replacement of defective products by the manufacturer. It is similar to a warranty.
Reporting on Dec 31 would be as follows,
Warranty Expense A/C Dr. $2.5
To Warranty Liability $2.5
(being product recall liability for for 2.5 million created)
Answer: deceptive pricing
Explanation:
Overall, the answer could be deduced from the defenitions of those terms.
We can surely exclude green washing, which basically means that the product is sold under "eco", "green" label, when it is not. Puffery is a legal practise, which can not be proven to be true or false; which is clearly not the case in this example.
Now we are left with three categories of deceptive marketing practices. Deceptive packaging means that the product does not fit the image peceived from its package. This might be the design, the size, the picture of the product, etc. Deceptive promotion means that the information on the ads is inaccurate, partly withhold, or false. Deceptive pricing means that the seller offers the product at lower price. This can be done by promoting low price for low-in-stock or out-of stock items and then offering the substituent products of the same category, which are surely more expensive.
