"Changes in Accounting Principles and Changes in Accounting Estimates"

Use the Internet or Strayer Library to research a company that had a change in accounting principles within the past five (5) years. Discuss the accounting principles that the identified company changed and explain the major reasons why the company changed accounting principles. Give your opinion on whether you believe the change in accounting principles was motivated by an attempt to provide more useful information or to make financial results look better to investors and creditors. Provide a rationale for your response.

Summarize primary and secondary changes, and describe possible functional implications of these changes for each of the following:

Cognitive

integumentary

cardiopulmonary

skeletal

muscular

neurological

sensory systems

Changes to both the money supply and the velocity of money include changes in aggregate demand. However, the long-run impacts of changes in these variables are different. How are the effects of an increase in the velocity of money and the effects of an increase in the money supply different?

• Compare and contrast the use of government spending changes versus tax changes as a means of influencing the course of the economy. Is one or the other preferable in specific situations? Imagine for a moment that you have two roommates, who each have opposing viewpoints on nearly everything, including politics and economics. Taylor is adamant that the best way to manage the economy is through tax changes, while Morgan insists that it’s better to adjust the economy through government spending. What would a Neoclassical economist say? What would a Keynesian economist say? Which roommate do you agree with, and why? .
