Answer:

The correct answer is b) a Ponzi scheme.

Explanation:

The Ponzi Scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that involves paying investors interest obtained from the money of new investors (and not from the generation of genuine profits). It is a pyramidal system, in which the only way to share benefits requires that participants recommend and capture (refer) to more clients with the objective that new participants produce benefits to primary participants.

This system does not invest in financial or other instruments, it only redistributes money from some investors to others, so the system works only if the number of investors in the pyramid continually grows; once people stop entering the "business", the scammer is prevented from fulfilling his promise and the pyramid collapses

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

III. I, II, III, and IV.

  • I. It is part of the double-entry procedure that keeps the accounting equation in balance.
  • II. It represents a decrease to assets.
  • III. It represents an increase to liabilities.
  • IV. It is on the right side of a T-account.

Explanation:

The debit-credit balance is necessary for maintaining the accounting equation in balance, i.e. all the debits must have a corresponding credit.

Asset accounts increase when they are debited and decrease when they are credited.

Liabilities accounts decrease when they are debited and increase when they are credited.

Debits are on the left side of a t-account and credits are on the right side.
