1. Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to ensure that investors invest only in companies that will be profitable.

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

1. False

2. False

3. False

4. True

5. True

Explanation:

1.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act was a federal law that was established by congress to sweep auditing and financial statements for public companies. The main aim for this was to improve the investor confidence by improving reliability in accounting statements. Errors in the financial statements for the public companies were to be minimized following this law especially in the wake of numerous cases of corporate crime. This law was never passed to ensure that investors only invest in companies that will be profitable, since the choice of which company to invest in is exclusively left to the investor. So the above statement is false.

2.

Ethics can be defined as a set of rules and regulation that govern the moral behavior of someone. Ethical standards vary from one region to another since they are majorly cultural, for example; a behavior in the United States can be considered as appropriate while the same behavior in a different place can be inappropriate. Ethical standards are either right or wrong, and the actions are judged on these terms. Ethics don't measure whether a actions are loyal or disloyal, thus the statement is false.

3.

The primary accounting standard setting body in the United States is Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). This body is charged with regulating and setting the best standard of accounting practice. The FASB usually constitutes a board whose officials are rigorously assessed. The board members have to be professionals in the field of accounting. Securities and Exchange Commission on the other hand is an independent federal agency with the authority to enforce federal security laws. Thus the statement above is false.

4.

The historical cost principle suggests that the companies record assets cost at their original cost and continue to report them at their original cost over the time the asset is held. The historical cost principle is a generally accepted accounting principle that has been in use for a long time. The definition about the historical cost principle in the question above is therefor true.

5.

The monetary unit assumption dictates that business related activities be converted to monetary units. There are some business transactions that are however quite difficult to convert into monetary units, therefor the accountant in using this principle is only obliged to record only the transactions that can be measured in money terms. The statement about monetary units in the question above is thus true.

Subprime lending means lending to borrowers and charging interest that is below the current prime interest rate.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Subprime lending means lending to borrowers and charging interest that is above the current prime interest rate.

The current prime interest refers to the rate offered to the best credit rated customers based on their credit history. This rate is lower as it is meant to be an attraction for the customers who are good credit payers and takers.

The sub-prime lending refers to giving loans at a rate higher than current prime interest rate to the borrowers who are lower on credit rating. This lending takes on higher risk and hence thereby charges higher interest from the borrowers.

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The correct answer is $170,000.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

We can calculate the cost allocated to Marketing by using following formula:

Total cost allocated = Fixed cost + Variable cost

Where, Fixed cost = (3,600,000 ÷ 5,400,000) × $120,000

= $80,000

And , Variable cost = $0.025 × 3,600,000 = $90,000

By putting the value, we get

Total cost allocated = $80,000 + $90,000

= $170,000
