At December 31, 2011 the accounting records of Gordon, Inc. contain the following items:

If the Notes Payable is $10,000, the December 31, 2011 cash balance is:
Answer:
Cash = $30000
Explanation:
The accounting equation states that the sum of total assets is always equal to the sum of total liabilities plus total equity. We can state the equation as follows,
Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity
So,
(30000 + 31250 + 18750 + 40000 + Cash) = (2500 + 10000) + (125000 + 12500)
120000 + Cash = 12500 + 137500
Cash = 150000 - 120000
Cash = $30000

Answer:
b. the price of a good will eventually rise in response to an excess demand for that good.
Explanation:
As more people are willing to purchase the good the price will rise. Because, the supplier can offer up to certain amount given their current production factors thus, this increase in demand is met with an increase of price. In the future this increase in price which generates more producer surplus will make more company’s invest in the business or the current ones will develop new ways of production to produce more and therefore; lowering the price.
Answer: The correct answer is a. true.
Explanation: If there is a supply glut and demand is falling, there will definitely be a fall in price. The same principle applies if Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) disagree to cut production, price for domestic crude oil would fall.
The scenario above is similar to the recent happenings regarding the impacts of coronavirus on global economy and is very fresh in our memories. According to the TheNation Newspapers, "oil prices tanked more than seven per cent at the weekend to their lowest levels since mid-2017 after Russia balked at OPEC's proposed steep production cuts to stabilize prices."
OPEC is proposing a cut in oil production, but if this is not done, the impact on Brent would be devastating as the price would fall further.
