b.to evaluate the company's stock performance
Explanation:
Evaluating a company stock performance would interest investors more than the managers of the company. Investors are profits driven. Their primary concern is to predict the future price of a stock as accurately as possible and profit from the price movement.
Managers are concerned with the profitability and long term growth of the company. They use managerial information to understand the current state and make better plans for the future. Managers use managerial reports to identify areas that need cost-cutting to maximize the profits.
Answer:
A. Set above equilibrium price
Explanation:
A price ceiling is a mandatory maximum price that a seller is allowed to charge. Generally, a government may impose this in order to protect consumers, especially with regards to the purchase of essential goods.
If the price ceiling was set below the equilibrium price (option c) or if the equilibrium price is above the price ceiling (option b), it will immediately cause a shortage (option d) since the quantity demanded would be higher than the quantity supplied when the price falls. This is because people will be willing to purchase more since it is cheaper but suppliers will be willing to produce less due to lower profits. Hence, options b, c and d are eliminated.
Option A is correct because... (please refer attached diagram):
When the price ceiling is above the equilibrium price, suppliers are willing to supply more since they can make higher profits but consumers will reduce purchasing since it is expensive. However, it does not cause any immediate effect because it takes time for suppliers to be able to produce more and cannot be done immediately unless anticipated in advance. In the long run however, quantity demanded will fall from equilibrium quantity to D1 and quantity supplied will rise from equilibrium quantity to S1. Hence, causing a surplus between D1 - S1 in the long run.
Answer:
b.the net income (net loss) for the period
Explanation:
The owner's capital account is an account that records the proprietor's stake in the business. It shows the current value of the business assets. The owner's capital account is also called an equity account. An increase or decrease in capital or assets is recorded in the account.
If the business generates a profit, the owner's equity increases, a loss reduces owners' assets. At the end of the period, the business has to prepare an income statement showing the net gain or loss. The gain or loss will be posted on the owner's capital account.
