Answer:
D. Debit to Dividends Payable.
Explanation:
The first thing we have to keep in mind is that dividends are liabilities, that is, they represent cash outflows for the corporation. In the example, we can distinguish two moments: the declaration of a cash dividend and its effective distribution. Next, we will analyze them from an accounting point of view:
- On July 15, 2014, Benson Company declared a cash dividend. In accounting terms, on that day the “Retained Earnings” account was debited. Remember that this account is the one that records the profits that the company has obtained to date. So, what was done was to <em>subtract</em> that part that is to be distributed among stockholders. This amount is then transferred to a current liability account called “Dividends Payable”. In this case, money was <em>added</em>, therefore, the account was credited.
- On August 15 dividends were distributed. That day, the "Dividends Payable" account was debited, or, in other words, its money was <em>discounted</em>, because it is now in the hands of shareholders.
Answer:
Profit $3,567
I would exercise my option by buying the shares before the expiration .
Explanation:
Calculation of how much profit would you make trading $1,000,000
First step is to multiply the spot rate on the final day by the trading amount
3.4329s*$1,000,000
=$3,432,900
Second step is to divide the spot rate option by the strike price
3,432,900/3.4207
=$1,003,567
Last Step is to find the profit
Profit =$1,003,567-$1,000,000
Profit=$3,567
Therefore the amount of PROFIT you would make trading $1,000,000 will be $3,567
Based on the above calculation I would exercise my option by buying the shares before the expiration .

Answer:
M2 decreases and M1 increases.
Explanation:
M1 and M2 are measures of money.
M1 is the narrowest definition of money. It includes currency, travellers check, demand deposit and other checkable deposits.
M2 includes M1 , small denomination time deposit, money market deposit and other assets that can easily be changed into cash easily and at a very little cost.
M3 includes M2, large domination time deposit and less liquid assets.
If $125,000 is withdrawn from the money market funds ,m2 reduces because money market fund is a component of m2.
M1 increases because $125,000 is converted to cash.

Answer:
6.5%
Explanation:
Number of people unemployed = 237,000
Labor force = 5 million - 1.3 million - 50,000
Labor force = 3.65 million
Unemployment rate = Number of people unemployed/Labor force*100
Unemployment rate = 237,000/3.65 million*100
Unemployment rate = 6.4931501%
Unemployment rate = 6.5%
