Answer:
At the end of March, Paul’s Painting hired five temporary employees to work on a project that began on April 5 and ended on April 28. Paul’s received 100% of the total payment for the project on May 3. In this situation, both cash basis accounting and GAAP require that Paul’s recognize the employees’ total salary expense in April.
Explanation:
A collection of accounting rules and standards usually followed, for financial reporting is known as GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) .
For businesses, GAAP needs accrual accounting.
Accrual accounting operates on the basis of matching both revenue and expenses. Revenues and the related expenses occur concurrently, though the cash transaction concerning thereto might happen in some other period.
In the situation given in the question, the revenue from the project is earned in April, subsequently, the salary expense related to that work should also be recognized in the same period due to an accrual basis.
Answer:
Price at issuance is $1,000 for both bonds.
Price of the 5 year bond after the market rate increased to 7.4% is:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 3.7%)⁸ = $747.77
PV of coupon payments = $27.50 x 6.81694 (PV annuity factor, 3.7%, 8 periods) = $187.47
Market price = $935.24
this bond's price decreased by 64.76/1,000 = 0.06476 = 6.48%
Price of the 10 year bond after the market rate increased to 7.4% is:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 3.7%)¹⁸ = $519.97
PV of coupon payments = $27.50 x 12.97365 (PV annuity factor, 3.7%, 18 periods) = $356.78
Market price = $876.75
this bond's price decreased by 123.25/1,000 = 0.12325 = 12.33%

When the price of the good is fixed at a level below the current (equilibrium) price, there will be a shortage of the good and the good will have to be effectively rationed. As in the question above, the consumer is worse off because she is not able to attain her utility maximizing point.
