Answer:

The correct word for the blank space is: expense recognition principle.

Explanation:

The expense recognition principle establishes when expenses and revenues must be recorded in the accounting books of a company. Under the accrual basis of accounting method, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses whenever consumed. While using the cash basis accounting method, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses when they are paid to suppliers not when invoices are sent.

In both cases, <em>expenses and revenues are recognized during the same period when they take place. That is the reason why the direct write-off method fails to fulfill the expense recognition principle because bad debt can be recognized as an uncollectible account not necessarily in the same period where the debt instrument was issued.</em>

dexar [7]

Answer:

win based on strict liability

Explanation:

Strict liability is a liability that is imposed on party by the claimant that proves that an action occurred and the defendant is responsible for it.

This provision does not require the claimant to prove a fault by the defendant. It is mostly used when an action is considered dangerous.

In this scenario Mike was blasting some holes in rocks. This is a dangerous activity that can cause harm.

Myra who broke her legs in the explosion only needs to prove Mike was responsible for the explosion that occurred for her to win based on strict liability provision.

A trial balance will not balance if a. a journal entry is posted twice. b. a wrong amount is used in journalizing. c. incorrect
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

d. a journal entry is only partially posted.

Explanation:

a. a journal entry is posted twice

This will lead to incorrect account balance, but the accounts will balance.

Because we are repeating a correct entry twice, so it will not make the trial balance not balance.

EXAMPLE

inventory 100 debit

cash 100 credit

inventory 100 debit

cash 100 credit

b. a wrong amount is used in journalizing

Similar as before, the accounts are being increased or decreased for a different amount than it should be. But this do not generate any trouble in the trial balance.

EXAMPLE

inventory 80 debit

cash 80 credit

c. incorrect account titles are used in journalizing

using a diferent name will generate impact on another account, the debit and credit imapct will be the same anyway, it will not affect the balance

EXAMPLE

Inventory  80 debit

Taxes payable 80 credit

d. a journal entry is only partially posted.

in this case, the entry is not balanced, generating a difference in total debit and credit.

EXAMPLE

Inventory  80 debit

We are not posting anything on credit, this is not in balance

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

As america's most important strength.

Explanation:

In the 1920s the wealthiest Americans (top 5%) earned around one third of the nation's income.

Back then, the working middle class was not the largest social class in the nation, most Americans should have been considered poor, while a small but very powerful and influential upper class existed. No politician would have dared to even suggest limiting the influence and power of the rich people (the owners of big businesses).
