Answer:
The correct answer is b) a Ponzi scheme.
Explanation:
The Ponzi Scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that involves paying investors interest obtained from the money of new investors (and not from the generation of genuine profits). It is a pyramidal system, in which the only way to share benefits requires that participants recommend and capture (refer) to more clients with the objective that new participants produce benefits to primary participants.
This system does not invest in financial or other instruments, it only redistributes money from some investors to others, so the system works only if the number of investors in the pyramid continually grows; once people stop entering the "business", the scammer is prevented from fulfilling his promise and the pyramid collapses
The word that comes in the blank space is; "sample".

Answer:
The merchandise should be reported on the U.S. Company's December 31, 2020 balance sheet at:
b. $1,050
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
November 30, 2020 Inventory purchase = CHF1,000
Exchange rate on this date = $1.05/CHF
Inventory worth = $1.05 * CHF1,000 = $1,050
b) The inventory should be reported on December 31, 2020 at $1,050. It does not need to be reported at a value above or below this. Even, the debt owed to the Swiss supplier will be reported at this price. It is when payment for the invoice is being made on February 1, 2021 that consideration will be given to the exchange rate at which payment is made.
