Answer:

The journal entry to correct this error would be:

Debit : Retained Earnings $86,000

Credit : Machine $86,000

Explanation:

Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation using the formula :

Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated useful life

thus,

Annual Depreciation expense = $430,000 ÷ 5

                                                   = $86,000

To correct the error :

Reduce the Retained Earnings amount (<em>were depreciation expense lies</em>) and Reduce the Asset Balance (<em>a fall in value</em>) with the amount of depreciation.

Allushta [10]

Answer: D. U.S. Treasury securities and Discount loans to banks.

Explanation: When examining the​ Fed's balance​ sheet, in most​ periods, the two most important assets ​are U.S. Treasury securities and Discount loans to banks. The Fed's balance sheet balance sheet includes a large number of distinct assets and liabilities containing a great deal of information about the scale and scope of its operations. Of these assets the U.S. Treasury securities and Discount loans to banks are paramount.

U.S Treasury securities are such as bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. government viewed as having virtually no credit risk. As such, they are debt obligations of the U.S. government.

Discount loans to banks are direct short term loans provided to banks by the Fed to meet temporary shortages of liquidity caused by internal or external disruptions.
