Monica [59]

Answer:

Type of Adjusment - Status of accounts before adjustment

Prepaid Expense – Asset Overstated
Accrued Revenue – Asset Understated
Accrued Expense – Expense Understated

This account is of debtor origin, are debited when an expense is paid in advance, they are credited when the expense paid in advance is consumed.

2. Accrued revenues: income that has been obtained but that at the end of the accounting period has not been collected. The principle is to apply and account for the income from the moment of commitment and consider an inflow of funds for accounting purposes even if it has not been collected.

Which of the following is a limitation of the data when drawing a conclusion about the most important problem facing the country

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

B. The data were collected in a short time frame, which does not reveal full-year trends.

Explanation:

Short time frame would affect the conclusion on the major problems faced in 2017 since it may not reveal all the data required to make conclusion on the major or most important problem faced in year 2017. For example if data to make this conclusion is collected over a 3 month period in 2017, it is likely to not be representative of full year data trends that will help to make necessary conclusions on problems faced in year 2017
