A) The GAAP statement is based on cost function rather than cost behavior.
Explanation:
Income statements that follow GAAP rules categorizes expenses based on their business function: product, selling or administrative.
While cost behavior categorizes costs based on how they influence a company's activities: variable, fixed and mixed. When a manager wants to measure the impact of any decision he/she makes, they need to use this type of categorization. For example, if fixed costs increase, what is the new break even point? If variable costs decrease, how is the marginal cost affected?
Answer: 4,840
Explanation: Analysis reveals that a company had a net increase in cash of $22,310 for the current year.
Therefore,
The year-end cash balance - the beginning cash balance = $22,310
The beginning cash balance = The year-end cash balance - $22,310
The year-end cash balance is $27,150
The beginning cash balance = $27,150 - $22,310 = $4,840
Answer:
The correct option is Debit Cash $1,864,097; debit Discount on Bonds Payable $135,903; credit Bonds Payable $2,000,000.
Explanation:
This question is an instance of bonds issued at a discount. This happens when a bond is issued below the face value of the bond and also happens when the coupon rate on the bond payable is less than the market rate.
The face value of the bond payable is $2,000,000 while the market value is $1,864,097, so there is a discount of $2,000,000 - $1,864,097 = $135,903 on the bond payable, which is to be amortized over the life of the bond payable.
So, the appropriate journals to record this transaction is as provided above.

Answer:
The answer is consumer's surplus
Explanation:
Consumer's surplus is the difference between what the consumer or buyer is willing to pay and the amount he or she eventually paid.
For example, Mr A is willing to pay $100 for a product and the producer is willing to sell for $90. After much negotiation between mr A and the seller, he eventually paid $85. What he paid was lower than what he was willing to pay before.
So the consumer surplus is $100 - $85 = $15
