Many economists believe “that a rapid stock of the nation’s money causes inflation” (pg.169). The rate of inflation can affect borrowing power for a new business owner as, “the rate of inflation expected by the borrower and the lender will be influence by various interest rates” (pg. 169). When inflation is high, many lenders interest rate increase to compensate for the impact inflation has on their business and the decrease in purchasing power of money that has to be paid back in the future. Since, the FED set the interest rate in which the banks borrow from, Edgars’ ability to borrow enough money or establish a line of credit to start his business will be affected by inflation, interest rate and financial policies.

ACC/291 Week 1 Discussion Questions 1. How are bad debts accounted for under the direct write-off method? What are the disadvantages of this method? The direct write-off method is when a company determines that an account is uncollectible and it charges the loss to the Bad Debts Expense. An example of this would be when a customer is not able to pay their bill because due to a downturn in the economy, money may be tight if they have been laid off from their jobs or faced with unexpected hospital bills.
