Answer:
a) If bribes cost $1,000 each, how much will a housing inspector make each year in bribes?
So, if the corrupt inspector approves two newly built structures each week, ti means that he is bribed twice per week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so he gets a total of 104 bribes (52 x 2). If each bribe costs $1,000, then he makes a total of: $1,000 x 104 = $104,000 in bribes per year.
c) Corrupt officials may have an incentive to reduce the provision of government services to help line their own pockets.
This statement is true. Corrupt officials will want to have private companies they can obtain bribes from provide government services. It increases the probability of them making money from bribes.
d) What if reducing the number of inspectors from 20 to 10 only increased the equilibrium bribe from $1,000 to $1,500?
Reducing the number of inspectors in hafl means that each inspector now gets twice the bribes. Because the equilibrium price did not double as did the quantity of bribes, each inspector will make less money than expected, but they will still the incentive to collect all the four bribes per week.

4,000 x 4/12 time in company's possesion = 1,333.33 depreciation
September + October + Novemember + December = 4 months

Answer:
If Splendid Occasions had recorded their service revenue using the other method, how much service revenue would they have recorded for the year?
Ans: $2,970
The ''other method'' in question is the Cash method which recognizes revenue when cash is paid unlike the Accrual method that recognizes it when earned.
Using the Cash method the Service Revenue would be $2,970 because the cash has been received for it.
If Sweet Catering had recorded transactions using the Cash method, how much net income (loss) would they have recorded for the month of May?
= Cash revenues - Cash expense
= Received cash for meals served to customers - Prepaid rent for three months - Received and paid electricity bill
= 2,530 - 2400 - 60
= $70
If Sweet Catering had recorded transactions using the Accrual method, how much net income (loss) would they have recorded for the month of May?
= Revenue - Expense
= Served a banquet on account + Received cash for meals served to customers - Rent - Electricity - Accrued salary expense - depreciation
= 2,810 + 2,530 - (2,400/3) - 60 - 2,670 - 380
= $1,430
<em>Cash spent on Equipment is not expense but capital expenditure. </em>
