Answer:
The correct answer is option d.
Explanation:
The most effective model to understand the effect of change of a variable on other variable is by assuming other factors to be constant. This simplifies the model and helps in easily understanding the relationship between the two variables.
Though the assumption of other things being constant does not apply in the real world, it is still used as otherwise change in other factors would complicate the model. If several factors change it would be difficult to understand the relationship between variables.
Here, to study the effect of change in the price of grapes on the market for wine, it is necessary to assume other factors such as income, consumer preferences, etc to be constant.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The GAAP established that when the benefits of obtaining accounting information are lower than the costs of providing that information, the information should not be provided.
For example, sometimes there are very small differences in certain accounts that don't allow a balance sheet to be balanced. If the accounting error is very small, e.g. just a few hundred dollars, then it is not reasonable to have a whole audit team check all the financial statements again to determine what caused the error. An adjusting entry could be made to close the account balances.
Imagine you are an auditor that must check the physical inventory of a factory and some boxes containing supplies are misplaced. It might take you a whole day to count again all the supplies and materials, but is it worth it? If the supplies were really expensive, probably yes, but if they were cheap components, then probably no.
This kind of program could be like rehabilitation such as may be provided in a half-way house for people coming out of jail which is designed to help the ex-prisoners to stop the use of illicit drugs, improve socialization skills and find meaningful employment so they can get back on their feet again. Where I live in the province of BC in Canada, it is law that a person can not be barred from employment if his offence was not related to his/her work.
Answer:
The sentence is unethical if there is a clear responsability on the mistakes. If the mistakes were made, and no one can be truly held accountable for that, then, the sentence is not unethical.
Explanation:
For example, if the government is corrupt, and officials actively commit embezzlement, the phrase "mistakes were made" is unethical because it is diverting the personal responsability of the corrupt officials.
But if for example, there is a volcano eruption, and the goverment tries its best to avoid casualties, but because of some involuntary mistakes some people still die, the phrase is not unethical because the mistakes were not voluntary and the consequences of those were not intended.
