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>

G To what extent do managers need to have experience in accounting and with financial statements?
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The question seems to have missing parts which I could not find on the internet, however I have tried to answer the part available as below :

To a greater extent,  managers need to have experience in accounting and with financial statements to understand their Decision Implications on Profit and to communicate with the Public and Stakeholders well.

Explanation:

Experience with Accounting and with Financial Statements are very important in that understanding these, Managers would be well aware of their Decision Implications on the bottom line - Profit. The performance of every manager can be traced back to items  that where within their control and these are shown in financial statements. The financial statement is also a vital document when the Company is communicating to the Public or to other Stakeholders and as such Managers need to be aware of. Some Managers are Sole Traders who need to have experience with accounting and with financial statements among other skills.

However, Mangers are not expected to be good at everything and they may be hired for one specialty such as strategy or marketing. In that case more time must be devoted to leave up to their role and leave the details of Accounting and Financial Statements to those hired for that specialty.

In conclusion it is to a greater extent,  managers need to have experience in accounting and with financial statements to understand their Decision Implications on Profit and to communicate with the Public and Stakeholders well.

From 2001 to 2004, the U.S. government went from a budget surplus to a budget deficit. According to the open-economy macroeconom
notsponge [240]

Answer: Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct Option: The supply of loanable funds but not the supply of dollars in the market for foreign-currency exchange.

If the budget deficit increases, then U.S residents will want to purchase fewer foreign assets and foreign residents wants to buy more of U.S assets.

The budget deficit in the economy has to be financed either by borrowing or by increasing taxes. This budget deficit occurred because of the tax cuts and higher government spending.

If a country running a budget deficit, which lead to reduction in national saving. We all know that interest rate is determined in the loan market, where savers supply the loans to the private borrowers.

So, if there is a fall in the national saving, this will reduced the supply of loans from savers, which raises the interest rate in an economy.

This will attract the foreign flow of capital. This means that demand for domestic assets increases because of the higher interest rate.

Now, if foreign residents want to take an advantage of higher interest rate then they first have to acquire domestic currency.

Therefore, higher interest increases the demand for domestic currency in a market of foreign exchange.
