The answer is B.

Explanation:

The first is the journal. A journal entry may be a summary of the debits and credits of the transaction entry to the journal.

Followed by a ledger which may be a book containing accounts during which the classified and summarized information from the journals is posted as debits and credits.

Trial balance which is that the listing of all accounts (asset, liability, equity, revenue, expense) with the ending account balance or or its a report that lists the balances of all book accounts of a corporation at a specific point in time.

Suppose you want to invest $10,000. You have two options: Option #1: Invest in municipal bonds with an expected return of 8.00%,

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: 20%

Explanation:

Municipal Bonds are generally not taxed so if you invest in the Municipal bond, the tax rate does not affect you.

The tax rate therefore that will make you indifferent between the 2 options is the one that will take the Corporate bond returns of Jefferson to 8% so that both bonds may give you the same return after tax.

Assuming that tax rate is 'x' then,

8 = 10 (1 - x)

8 = 10 - 10x

10x = 10 - 8

10x = 2

x = 20%

At a tax rate of 20%, the Corporate bonds give an 8% return.

Reasons why South African post office taking private courier companies to court

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the only operator of this kind in South Africa, the Post Office has the exclusive right to provide delivery services for all letters, postcards, printed matter, small parcels, and other postal articles up to and including 1kg.

PostNet was initially ordered to stop delivering all packages weighing 1kg and less by 17 March 2020. However, it secured an interdict which allowed it to continue to deliver these packages until the full challenge was heard in the Gauteng High Court.

The Post Office, Postnet and the South African Express Parcel Association (SAEPA) are now set to head to court in a move that could have ramifications for the entire courier industry in South Africa.

Icasa spokesperson Paseka Maleka told BusinessDay that the regulator would give its support to the Post Office as it was following the letter of the law, which allowed private couriers to only deliver food items in the 1kg or less category.

“Icasa’s mandate is to implement what the law requires, and we are doing exactly that,” he said.

“There are exemptions that deal with businesses that do not fall under postal services. Uber Eats, Mr Delivery, etc are such businesses. Obviously, one cannot expect Sapo to be delivering pizza to a consumer,” he said.

Explained moral lessons for the life of Okomfo Anokye

mariarad [96]

Answer:

It is said that when Okomfo Anokye was born in Awukugua he was already holding in his right hand a short white tail of a cow (Podua); and he had so firmly clenched the fist of the other hand that no one could open it. The woman who went to deliver the labouring mother tried to open it because she suspected there was something in it. The father was called in to assist... Okomfo Anokye opened his eyes and, staring at the father, quickly opened the mysterious hand, showing it to the father and saying "Ano....Kye" (Guan language) meaning "Ano...see" and gave to the father what was in it. It is alleged that it was a talisman. From this incident Kwame Agyei got his name "Anokye".

An issuer has filed a registration statement in the state proposing to offer 500,000 shares in a combined primary and secondary

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

b. 300,000 shares being sold is an issuer transaction and the 200,000 shares being sold is a non-issuer transaction.

Explanation:

A non-issuer transaction is a transaction that does not directly benefit an issuer or it was not directly executed to benefit an issuer.

According to the Uniform State Law, an entity involved in the sales of certificates of interest, leases, mining titles among others is officially exempted from being labelled as an issuer. Hence, the entity (officers of the firm) in the question are non-issuer brokers.

Specifically, when the sales of stock are carried out by someone or an individual who is not a registered stockbroker, that individual officially becomes what is called 'a non-issuer broker-dealer'. The implication is that such a transaction is to be exempted from the registration requirements of the Security Exchange Commission.

In this question, since the issuer newly issued 300,000 shares while the remaining 200,000 in the proposed combination was offered by Officers of the firm - non-issuer broker-dealers. The Law states that it must be separated to show that 300,000 shares are sold in an issuer transaction (Primary) directly involving an official issuer while 200,000 shares are sold in a non-issuer transaction (Secondary).
