In recording an accounting transaction in a double-entry systema.the number of debit accounts must equal the number of credit ac

Elodia [21]

Answer:

c. The amount of the debits must equal the amount of the credits.

Explanation:

a. The number of debit accounts must equal the number of credit accounts.

An account means one record entry of a transaction. There may be more credit or more debit accounts, depending on the transactions.

b. There must always be entries made on both sides of the accounting equation.

Although this happens most often, it is not always true.

The Accounting Equation: Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

The two sides are separated by the equal sign. There can be a transaction that's only on one side. Example:

I buy a chair for $50 cash. Only the furniture and cash accounts are affected, and they are both on the assets side.

c. The amount of the debits must equal the amount of the credits.

This must always be equal. When you increase an asset (debit), you will increase owner's equity (credit). When you decrease an asset (credit) you could either decrease owner's equity or liability (debit).

d. There must only be two accounts affected by any transaction.

This is untrue. Sometimes, three or more accounts can be affected. For example, if I buy a chair, giving $20 down payment and borrowing $30 from the bank. The three accounts affected are furniture (increase by $50), cash (decrease by $20), and bank loan (increase by $30).

The efficient-market hypothesis:a) has little empirical validity. b) implies that security prices properly reflect information a

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

b) implies that security prices properly reflect information available to investors and that active traders will find it difficult to outperform a buy-and-hold strategy.

Explanation:

The efficient market hypothesis states that the price of assets in the market reflects all information that is available. This means that it is impossible to gain unfair advantage over others in the market as a result of privileged information about a transaction.

In this scenario a buy and hold strategy will be most effective because investors can buy assets and hold them for a long time regardless of short term fluctuations. Sale is made at a optimal time.

Active traders will be subject to short term fluctuations and will most likely not perform like the buy and hold traders

What consequences do borrowers face if they miss many payments?

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Depends on who they are owing money. But the party that lent the money can take legal action against the borrower and can get the state involved to seize property from him/her. Also depends on state and local law.

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

a.borrowers gain at the expense of lenders.

Explanation:

Suppose the annual rate of inflation has been 3 percent during each of the last three years and that borrowers and lenders have come to expect this rate of inflation. If the inflation rate unexpectedly rises, then borrowers gain at the expense of lenders.

As inflation increases, two things happen

1. The amount of interest paid to lenders technically becomes of smaller value and lenders are loosing while borrowers are paying lesser

2. As inflation sets in, wages are increased to compensate for inflation and since the borrower already owed money before the inflation occurred, now he or she has more money in his or her paycheck to pay off the debt.
