Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The short run refers to a period of less than one year.

Explanation:

The statements is false that the short run refers to a period of less than one year.

The short run, long run and very long run are different time periods in economics.

<u>Short run – where one factor of production (e.g. capital) is fixed</u>.

long run – Where all factors of production are variable,

Unlike in accounting where operating period refer to a period of one year, <u> there is no hard and fast definition as to what is classified as "long" or "short" and mostly relies on the economic perspective being taken.</u>

ra1l [238]

Answer:

Debit Expenses $90,000; credit Accrued wages and salary $90,000

Explanation:

If we assume that the City of Juneau maintains its books and records to facilitate the preparation of its fund financial statements. The employees paid from the general fund had earned $90,000 on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (June 28, 29, and 30).

The entry, if any, should be made in the city’s general fund on June 30 is to: Debit Expenses $90,000; credit Accrued wages and salary $90,000

The amount has been incurred in the month but has not been paid hence it has to be captured as expenses for the month of June while the double entry will be that the amount is captured as accrued wages signifying that it has not been paid within the period it was incurred
