Answer:

b. $180 increase to Cash and a $180 decrease to Utility Expense

Explanation:

Since it is given that the correct amount for utilities is $790 and it is wrongly entered as a $970 that means utility expense is excess debited for $180

So to adjust the bank reconciliation the journal entry is

Cash $180

    To Utilities  $180

(being the adjusted entry is recorded)

The $180 is come from

= $970 - $790

= $180

So it increased the cash and decreased the expenses so the recording is done accordingly

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Trend analysis.

Explanation:

The trend analysis is the method of analysis that consists in observing the behavior of the different items of the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement, to detect some significant changes that may have their origin in administrative errors.

This method allows us to know the direction and speed of the changes that have occurred in the financial situation of the company over time, so it is considered as a method of horizontal analysis.

It helps us to detect failures; but it is only an exploratory method, so it is always necessary to investigate further to find the causes of the failures. It is necessary to determine the changes suffered in the balances of the financial statement items that we are interested in analyzing. The trend analysis allows us to know the financial development of a company.

B                      The Protection-as-a-Bargaining-Chip Argument

C                      The Jobs Argument

D                      The Unfair-Competition Argument

Explanation:

The Jobs Argument:  Domestic jobs need to be protected for the good of the national economy, according to this argument.

The National-Security Argument: Some products and services are, by their nature, issues reserved under national security.  To expose the internal security systems of a nation may have untold consequences.

The Infant-Industry Argument: Nascent industries require domestic protection from foreign competitors if they must grow to competitive levels.

The Unfair-Competition Argument: This is more pronounced in developing countries without the manufacturing facilities to compete fairly with developed economies.

The Protection-as-a Bargaining-Chip Argument is argues that trade restrictions may be imposed to force other countries to reverse or remove trade restrictions.
