Week 1 Homework, Chapters One and Two
1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0There are a number of sources of economic and demographic information that can assist the management accountant and managers in general. The information includes financial information such as interest rates, employment, income, international trade, output of goods and services, consumer price levels, and market values of stocks and bonds. Managers and accountants use this information to better understand the environment in which their firm competes. For example, when interest rates are moving up (or down) rapidly, managers will want to consider the effect of the interest cost changes on their analysis and recommendations regarding managing cash flow, introducing new products, improving or expanding production facilities, and so on. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, much of this very information is in a great state of flux.\u00a0
There are many sources for this information; one useful source is provided by the Federal Reserve Board at\u00a0www.federalreserve.gov\/apps\/fof\/FOFTables.aspx\u00a0for prior year information. Be sure to search for current year information to compare.\u00a0
