Jacob and marla were both presented with a complex accounting issue that neither had seen before. marla was able to look at the problem and come up with a reasonable solution, but jacob was not. what is the difference between marla and jacob?

Generally, when trying to solve a complex accounting problem in which there are obstacles and little knowledge about the subject, the most advisable thing is to work from a conceptual framework which serves as a guide to find a reasonable answer to the problem in question.
