Answer and Explanation:
The computation of annual dollar changes and percent changes for each of the following accounts is shown below:-

Short term

b) no Disclosure
c) Record a liability
Explanation:
There are three scenarios to be considered
1) It is reasonably possible that Huprey will lose a pending lawsuit. The loss cannot be estimable
First, premise is that Huprey Co. is facing a lawsuit and the possibility of a loss is most possible. If Huprey Co is able to recognize the amount of loss, then he would have been able to record a liability but the inability to estimate the loss means, the company can o<u>nly make appropriate disclosure in notes</u>
2)Huprey is being used for damages of $2 million. It is very unlikely (remote) that Huprey will lose the case.
This second premise is also a lawsuit on damages for $2 million, however, it is most reasonably acceptable that Huprey will win the lawsuit. As such there is no loss, that way there will be no disclosure in Huprey Co's books.
3. Huprey can reasonably estimate that a pending lawsuit will result in damages of $1.25 million, it is probable that Huprey will lose the case.
The probability of losing a case means that there will be a loss to be recorded in the books and since the damages are already estimable to be $1.25 million. Huprey Co should record a liability
Answer:
A. a monopoly faces a downward sloping demand curve.
Explanation:
In business, it is seen to occur because they have no competition, monopolists have no incentive to improve their products. A lot of their focus is instead placed on maintaining monopolistic conditions through bribing their way and other tactics that dissuade competitors from entering the market.
Demand curve slopes downward, this is said to decreases with each unit of production beyond the profit maximizing quantity and in the eyes of the monopolist, cash is lost with each additional unit been produced, causing marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue. This causes the restricted output and higher costs that characterize products produced by monopolists.
Because the demand curve slopes downward, marginal revenue decreases with each unit of production beyond the profit maximizing quantity. Thus, the monopolist loses money with each additional unit produced, as marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue.
