Answer:

It decreases an asset.

It increases an expense.

Explanation:

Hales Company paid the rent for its facility in advance. This payment generated an expense that will interfere with the company's balance sheet, acting as an asset within the balance sheet. This interference will need to be readjusted later when the advance payments Hales Company has made are over, ie when the three months of advance payment have passed. Adjusting the company's balance sheet will decrease balance sheet assets, in this case being represented as advance rent, and will increase expenses, which in this case is money spent on rent. From this we can conclude that the company's year-end adjustment will show a decrease in assets and an increase in expenses.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Photographic memory and eidetic memory are synonymous, which means that there is no distinction between them. Both dignify the same thing, so we can say that artists have eidetic memory, better known as photographic memory.

Explanation:

Eidetic and photographic memory are synonymous. This means that these two terms have the same meaning. Both report a person's ability to remember things that they have seen in great detail and come very close to perfection. Although it is impossible to have a perfect photographic memory, many people have an amazing visual memory, like the two artists seen in the video.

These people have a brain that has a much greater capacity (compared to people with common visual memory capacity) to maintain selected memories as long-term memories.
