Mr Ralston’s action didn't constitute a contract in this case,since he hasn't taken the goods away and the groceries haven't been tallied.

<h3>What is a contract?</h3>

It should be noted that a contract simply means an agreement between private parties that's enforceable by law.

In this case, Ralston’s action didn't constitute a contract in this case,since he hasn't taken the goods away and the groceries haven't been tallied.

The features of a contract that should be taken into consideration include acceptance and internation to create legal relations.

The supervisor would not likely succeed should he proceed with legal action.

Which of the following statements abouot the declaration and payment of cash dividends is correct?
padilas [110]

Answer: C. Declaration and payment of cash dividends will reduce the amount of cash available to invest in assets.

Explanation:

When a company pays out Dividends it gives out money to it's shareholders and this has the effect of decreasing the cash balance that the company has.

This is cash that could have gone into investing and expanding the business but instead has gone to shareholders. Dividends therefore reduce the money available for investments.

It is for this reason that Growth Companies do not pay much dividends as they keep reinvesting profits to increase capacity and this usually adds value to the company and increases their stock price within a shorter period of time.

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

(C) Cash

Receivables means deptors. These are obligations that has been honoured and value given, but you're yet to get cash. Receivables are seen as such. So the things you've given value to and you're yet to receive cash or payment for are receivables.

On the Delivery of goods or Services, the company debits Accounts Receivable and credits what is known as Sales Revenues or Service Revenues. When an account receivable is collected say 30 days later, the account receivables is reduced and the Cash or bank account is increased.
