Answer:

False

Explanation:

The GAAP established that when the benefits of obtaining accounting information are lower than the costs of providing that information, the information should not be provided.

For example, sometimes there are very small differences in certain accounts that don't allow a balance sheet to be balanced. If the accounting error is very small, e.g. just a few hundred dollars, then it is not reasonable to have a whole audit team check all the financial statements again to determine what caused the error. An adjusting entry could be made to close the account balances.

Imagine you are an auditor that must check the physical inventory of a factory and some boxes containing supplies are misplaced. It might take you a whole day to count again all the supplies and materials, but is it worth it? If the supplies were really expensive, probably yes, but if they were cheap components, then probably no.

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

It will take 2.73 years to cover the initial investment.

Explanation:

<u>The payback period is the time required to cover the initial investment:</u>

Year 1= 0 - 2,400= -2,400

Year 2= 1,600 - 2,400= -800

Year 3= 1,100 - 800= $300

<u>To be more accurate:</u>

A firm has adopted a policy whereby it will not seek any additional external financing. Given this, what is the maximum growth r
dlinn [17]

Answer:

9%

Explanation:

Given:

The net income = $12,000

Total equity = $40,000

Total assets = $80,000

Dividend payout ratio = 40%

Now,

Internal rate of return, r = \frac{\textup{Net Income}}{\textup{Total Equity}}\times100\%

or

Internal rate of return, r = \frac{\textup{12,000}}{\textup{80,000}}\times100\%

or  

Internal rate of return, r = 15%

and,

Retention ratio = 1 - Dividend payout ratio

= 1 - 0.40

= 0.60 or 60%

Now,

Growth rate = Retention ratio × Internal rate of return

or

Growth rate = 0.60 × 0.15

or

Growth rate = 0.09

or

Growth rate = 9%

german

Answer:

D. Break your report into modules and put highly detailed information in an appendix.

Explanation:

According to the question above, it is observed that when writing the report on new regulations that affect your company, the main objective is to reach the executives, who are busy and will read your report quickly, so the ideal is that the report is written with highly detailed information in an appendix and the report is divided into modules, with the aim of executives to access the most important information and the parts that most interest them more quickly.

Therefore, the report must be complete and contain all information about the subject in question, as it should also reach members of the secondary and tertiary public, they will probably read more slowly and carefully.
