The following does not describe the matching principle
Marizza181 [45]

Answer: The correct answer is c. Expenses are reported on the income statement when cash is paid.

Explanation: Matching principle states that expenses are matched with the related revenue in the same period, that is, expenses incurred to generate related revenue are recorded during the same time interval the related revenue is recorded in order to show the true and fair position of the profitability of the company.

Based on the above definition, <u>only option C does not align with the matching principle</u><u> </u>because expenses should be recorded in the income statement when incurred and NOT when cash is paid. If it is recorded when cash is paid, it means <em>cash basis of accounting</em> is being applied.

Answer: information-sharing

Explanation: The meeting involves sharing of most recent findings so it illustrates the information-sharing function of meetings. A meeting is describes as an assembly or gathering of people for a purpose. The information-sharing function of meeting describes the exchange of information between attendees about a specific issue and/or information and updates. Since the purpose of this type of meeting is mostly educational or presentational, they have a likelihood of becoming boring and too filled with information. In these instances efforts are made to ensure that the attendees are engaged by providing questions and feedback channels among others.

What is credit and debit?

Events known as business transactions have a financial influence on an organization's financial statements. We enter the figures in two accounts, with the debit column on the left and the credit column on the right, to account for these transactions.

An accounting debit is an addition to an asset or cost account or a subtraction from a liability or equity account. In an accounting entry, it is placed to the left.

<u>Credit</u>

A credit is an accounting item that either raises or lowers an asset or cost account. It can also increase or decrease a liability or equity account. In an accounting entry, it is placed to the right.

Suppose there are 1000 firms in a market and all are identical. Firm A will hire 20 workers when the wage rate is $10, 25 worker
Triss [41]

Answer:

d. the quantity demanded for the market will increase to less than 30,000 workers.

Explanation:

Missing options:

  • a. the quantity demanded for the market will increase to 30,000 workers.
  • b. the quantity demanded for the market will increase to more than 30,000 workers.
  • c. the quantity demanded for the market will increase, but we can't tell which of the above answers is correct.
  • d. the quantity demanded for the market will increase to less than 30,000 workers.

maximum total demand for labor = 30 (at $8) x 1,000 firms = 30,000 workers, but since the equilibrium rate had been $9 for many years, some workers have already been hired at $9, and it is usually very difficult to lower someone's wage once they have been working. Even thought the quantity demanded will increase, it will probably not be able to reach 30,000 workers.

Stella is currently spending all of her weekly income purchasing the two goods that she likes cookies and milk. She is currently
Ivan

Answer:

Stella should consume less of milk and more of cookies to maximize total utility.

Explanation:

The price of cookies is ​$9​, and the price of milk is ​$3.

Stella consumes 10 cookies and 5 cartons of milk.

The marginal utility of 10th cookie is 50 utils and the marginal utility of 5th carton of milk is 25 utils.

Her total utility will be maximized if the ratio of marginal utility and price will be equal for both cookies and milk.

Ratio for cookies

= \frac{MUx}{Px}

= \frac{50}{9}

= 5.55

Ratio for milk

= \frac{MUy}{Py}

= \frac{25}{3}

= 8.33

Since the ratio is higher for milk, it means that Stella should consume less of milk and more of cookies to maximize total utility.
