Answer: Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Sarah who is the controller of a large beverage supplier, supervises two employees and that her boss, Vladimir, told her to increase the company's inventory balance for an amount that is material to the financial statements by crediting several small "miscellaneous" expense accounts.
We are further told that Sarah does not know the reason behind this but told one of her staff to make them because she has been instructed to do so.
We can see that Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue. She didn't evaluate the effect of what she is doing. In this case, what her boss told her to do could be a case of fraud and she just obliged without asking questions which will put her conscience at ease in case anything happens but the fact that she just did it without asking questions or thinking if what she has done is morally right or wrong, it shows that Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue.

Answer:
The answer is stated below:
Explanation:
A. Received or collected $10,000 in exchange of the common stock:
This transaction will have an impact on the Accounting Equation of the Accounts, which is :
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
As the cash is received, there will be an increase in the assets and under the cash account of the current assets. Though the cash is against the common stock, which increases the common stock account upon the side of the equity.
Therefore, it will be:
Increase in assets (Cash) : Increase in equity (Common Stock)
B. Bought the equipment on account worth $5,000.
This transaction will have an impact on the Accounting Equation as:
As the equipment is purchased will in turn lead to increase in the assets side, under the equipment account and it is purchased on account, which means on credit, that leads to increase in the liability under the Accounts Payable account.
Therefore, it will be:
Increase in assets (Equipment) : Increase in Liability (Accounts Payable)
Answer:
Effective annual interest rate=0.52%
Explanation:
Step 1: Express the formula for calculating interest
The formula for calculating interest can be expressed as;
I=PRT
where;
P=principal amount borrowed
R=annual interest rate as a percentage
T=number of years
Step 2: Determine the value of the variables P, R and T
In our case;
I=$10
P=(125-10)=$115
R=unknown=r
T=2 months=2/12=1/6 years
replacing in the expression;
10=115×r×(2/12)
10=(230/12)r
r=10×12/230=0.5217
0.5217 rounded off to the nearest 2 decimal places is:
r=0.52%
Effective annual interest rate=0.52%
