Margie Johnson is a staff accountant at ToolEx Company, a manufacturer of tools and equipment. The company is under pressure fro

m investors to increase earnings, and the president of the expects the Accounting Department to "make this happen". Margie's boss, who has been a mentor to her, is concerned that if earnings do not increase, he will be terminated. Shortly after the end of the fiscal year, the company performs a physical count of the inventory. When Margie compares the physical count to the balance in the inventory account, she finds a significant amount of inventory shrinkage. The amount is so large that it will result in a significant drop in earnings this period. Margie's boss asks her not to make the adjusting entry for shrinkage this period. He assures her that they will get "caught up" on shrinkage in the next period, after the pressure is off to reach this period's earnings goal. Margie's boss asks her to do this as a personal favor to him.

Answer and Explanation:

2. Yes Ryan is being professional since he is out to improve company's sales and income even though he may be putting pressure on employees to work overtime

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

A

Discretionary fiscal policies are deliberate steps taken by the government to stimulate the economy in order to cause the economy to move to full employment and price stability more quickly than it might otherwise.

Discretionary fiscal policies can either be expansionary or contractionary

Expansionary fiscal policy is when the government increases the money supply in the economy either by increasing spending or cutting taxes.

If taxes are cut, disposable income increases and demand increases. this is an example of demand side

On the other hand, if a replacement project is undertaken, the demand for labour increases. this is an example of supply side

Contractionary fiscal policies is when the government reduces the money supply in the economy either by reducing spending or increasing taxes
