Suppose the Federal Reserve releases a policy statement today which leads people to believe that the Fed will be enacting expans

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

<h2>An expansionary monetary policy by the Federal Reserve would lead to an <u>increase </u> in the demand for US assets and a <u>depreciation</u> in the value of US dollars.Hence the correct answer is option D) or increase;depreciate.</h2>

Explanation:

An expansionary monetary policy commonly entails expansion of money supply thereby reducing the eventual interest rate in order to boost or stabilize the Aggregate Demand(AD) and overall output level or GDP in the economy.Now,as the domestic interest would fall in US due to the expansionary speculations and inflationary indications(increase in money supply),it would consequently lower the value of the US dollars relative to other foreign currencies.This implies that US dollar would depreciate compared to other foreign currencies.This possibility would encourage the importers and international investor or financiers to become more attracted towards the US goods,services and financial assets thereby increasing their demands.Therefore,a depreciation of US dollars would essentially lead to an increase in the demand for US assets in the international market as depreciation of US dollars would also lower the value of US assets in the international market.

Answer:

Brook's law

Explanation:

Brook's law postulates that adding manpower late to a software project increases the time of project completion rather than shorten it. This law was postulated by Fred Brooks in The Mythical Man-Month.

Adding new personnel to a project takes the attention of other personnel from the project to training new personnel. This would increase the time for project completion. This is referred to as the ramp up time

As more manpower is added to the project, communication overhead increases. this increases the time for project completion as more time would be spent on communication rather than on carrying out the project

dedylja [7]

Answer:

The adjusting journal entry would be:

Debit: Bad debts expense $5,317

Credit: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $5,317

Explanation:

Debit: Bad debts expense $5,317

Credit: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $5,317

Explanation of the entry:

Allowance for doubtful debts at the end of the year = $402,000 × 2% = $8,040

Credit balance at the start = $2,723

Allowance for doubtful accounts = $8,040 - $2,723 = $5,317

The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts presently has a credit balance of $2,723 and allowance for doubtful debt at the end of year is $8,040, you need to enter an additional credit amount of $5,317 into the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The other part of this adjusting entry will be a debit of $5,317 to Bad Debts Expense.
