Answer:
"Why We've Been Hugely Underestimating the Overfishing of the Oceans"
Determining whether each statement is true or false:
a. False
b. True
c. False
d. True
Explanation:
The article "Why We've Been Hugely Underestimating the Overfishing of the Oceans," was published by the Washington Post on January 19, 2016. It was written by Chelsea Harvey. It tried to show how the world fish stock had been declining due to overfishing. This is why it provided a report contrary to the FAO report.
While the FAO report noted that the peak of worldwide catches was at 86 million tons in 1996, the contrary and independent report, using "catch reconstruction" showed that the peak was at 130 million tons in 1996. The reconstructed research also showed that worldwide fish catches had suffered declines ever since the 1996 peak, thereby threatening "world food security and marine ecosystems". The contrary report also suggested that all stakeholders must collaborate so that fish stocks can rebuild naturally.

The journal entries are shown below:
On Jan 1
Cash $500,000
To Bond Payable $500,000
(Being the issuance of the bond is recorded)

Bond Payable $500,000
Loss on redemption $15,000 ($500,000 × 3%)
To Cash ($500,000 × 103%) $515,000

Answer:
1.
- The firm increases its dividend payout ratio.
This will increase the need for external funds because with more funds going towards dividends, there will be less funds available to fund operations. The company will therefore be more probable of being in need of Additional funds.
- The firm’s inventory turnover decreases, with no effect on the sales forecast.
If the firm's inventory turnover increases, it means that the firm is taking longer to sell off inventory. This will mean that the company will have to invest more in working capital to maintain these inventory levels. This will lead to a higher probability of them needing additional funds.
2. Yes, dividends still affect a firm’s AFN even though they are paid out of after-tax earnings.
Even though they are paid after-tax, they still eat into the funds that the business can be able to set aside to fund operations. So when dividends are paid, the need for AFN increases as well.
