b. The choice of method affects the optimal allocation of resources
Explanation:
The allocation method used by an organization does not affect whether the organization's resources are allocated optimally or not. After all, what is at stake is not the allocation of resources, but the allocation of consumed resources. An organization is free in making its choice of method. The basis for choosing an allocation method is to ensure that costs are allocated optimally and not resources.
Answer: Liability account
Explanation:
This is a case of looking it from bank's point of view or from the books of the bank.
Customer has deposited their money in the bank. For a certain fee. The money is secured by the bank and can be withdrawn by the customer anytime they want to. Hence cash is increased but it is still a liability for the bank since they do not have a claim to that money. It's the customers assets they are securing.

Forward Vertical Integration occurs when a company acquires one of its suppliers.
In this case, we do not have an example of forward vertical integration because the owner of the jewerly store did not purchase the supplier: the diamond brokerage firm. He instead opted to start his own brokerage firm.

Answer:
b. $3,000 loss
Explanation:
For computing the gain or loss, first we have to determine the depreciation expense so that we can find the book value of an asset
So, under the straight-line method, the depreciation expense would be
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)
= ($15,000 - $1,000) ÷ (4 years)
= ($14,000) ÷ (4 years)
= $3,500
For two years, the depreciation would be
= $3,500 × 2 years
= $7,000
In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life
Now the book value would be
= Acquired value of an asset - accumulated depreciation
= $15,000 - $7,000
= $8,000
So, the gain would be
= Sale value - book value
= $5,000 - $8,000
= $3,000 loss
