Selecting a base year and expressing each amount as a percent of the base year amount is called:

Sliva [168]

The process of selecting a base year and expressing the amount as a percent of the base year amount is referred to as trend analysis. Percentage change can be calculated between two periods or over a longer period of time.

Percentage change between two periods:

Subtract the earlier year from the later year. A negative difference means the change is a decrease. A positive difference means it is an increase. Then divide the change by the earlier year's balance.

Percentage change over a longer period of time:

1. Select the base year.

2. Divide the amount in each nonbase year (for each line item) by the amount in the base year and multiply by 100.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, complete question is as follows:

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) allow people to shelter some of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to such accounts is $5,000 per person. Now suppose there is a decrease in the maximum contribution, from $5,000 to $3,000 per year.

Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change.

This change in the tax treatment of interest income from saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to and the level of investment spending to.

Explanation:

To decrease.

Saving is the basis of the loanable finance supply.

Decreasing the saving rates which families may shelter from income tax would deter saving on each interest rate, contributing to a change in the supply of loanable funds to the left.

The initial interest rate is due to a shortage of loanable funds. The lenders will also be able to increase the interest rate which they charge for loans with more inclined borrowers than lenders.

Whilst the interest rates increase, the quantity required for loanable funds is declining. The equilibrium interest rate is increasing, and the equilibrium amount of borrowed and invested loanable funds is decreasing.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Accrual

Explanation:

The accounting principle of accrual means that you should register something when the fact that origins the right for the future payment/collecting occurs. It does not matter if the payment is done later, the fact that made you to pay was already done, so we apply accrual and say we already owe that money that we pay later.

In this example, Sally used the principle of accrual for the things in June that she later paid in July... but her expenses were origined in June, so they apply to June.
