As we proceed, we will adopt several different points of view. ← We will take the perspective of preparers of financial information. Preparers include accountants who work for companies that must produce Financial Statements on a regular basis and file them with the various regulatory authorities, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These accountants may include the Chief Financial Officer, who, along with the Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for the Financial Statements. We will learn procedures and rules about how financial events are recognized and disclosed. ← We will take the perspective of independent auditors and regulators, who oversee the financial information that companies disseminate. Independent auditors work for an accounting firm and are hired to audit financial statements before these reports are filed with the SEC. Audit firms include PricewaterhouseCoopers, KPMG, Ernst and Young, and Deloitte and Touche (which collectively are called the “Big 4”) and a host of smaller, regional firms. All firms with stock that is traded on an exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, must have their statements audited by an independent audit firm...

...ECON545 Week 1 Suggested Answers to Questions and Problems NOTE: Please pay particular attention to the way that answers are stated, because these are the kinds of statements that will be looked for in the quizzes and final exam. In general, all answers need to be supported with appropriate reasoning. CHAPTER 3 Chapter 3 Question 8 8. See the figure above. A change in demand is a shift in the entire demand curve and is caused by a change in one or more of the determinants. In contrast, a change in quantity demanded is a movement along an existing demand curve caused by a change in price. This distinction is important. Say, for example, you want to distinguish between rising sales at existing prices due to an expanded advertising program, on the one hand, and rising sales due to a sale or a reduction in price, on the other hand. A change in supply shifts the curve and is caused by a change in one or more of the determinants. A change in quantity supplied is caused by a change in price. Chapter 3 Question 11 11a. You would probably increase the prices of existing inventory of surfboards. You would be expecting a shortage in the short run, and wholesale prices of foam blanks would probably rise in the future. In fact, most retail outlets increased the price of their boards from $100 to $300. 11b. First, in the very near term, surfboard prices will rise, and the stock of polyurethane boards will fall. Over time, other companies will supply alter-native blanks that use alternative...

...1. GET YOUR BASICS RIGHT It has been said time and again, but keeping your entire examination material ready a day before the examination is very important part of your success at SSC exams. Create a checklist of all the things you need to carry such as hall tickets, pens, pencils, writing pads, and other instruments, and make sure you carry them. All your basic information such as your name, seat number, etc. should be filled in neatly on your answers booklets. Make sure you get these basics right. 2. START WITH YOUR BEST “First impression is the last impression” and the same is true for your SSC answer paper also. If the examiner gets a good first impression of you, it can only work in your favour. Therefore, the first answer that you write, take extra precaution to make sure there are no careless mistakes, cancellations or any turn-offs that will create a bad impression. Also, attempting questions in order is preferable but not necessary. You can start with the answer that you know best if you are not so confident. 3. LEVERAGE THE EXAMINER’S INERTIA The examiner is only human and if he/she feels that you know your subject matter perfectly, then he/she may automatically tend to overlook some minor mistakes you make later in the paper. Thus many top ranking SSC students choose to answer the questions they are most confident about first. If the examiner is ticking your earlier questions, chances are he will keep ticking. You don’t want the examiner to keep crossing your...
