Explanation:
Management
Managers are not included in this list of users by the IASB Framework, because management should have access to all the financial information they need, and in much more detail than financial statements provide. However, management is responsible for producing the financial statements and might be interested in the information they contain.
Employees
Employees need information about the financial stability and profitability of their employer. An assessment of profitability can help employees to reach a view on the ability of the employer to pay higher wages, or provide more job opportunities in the future.
Investors
Investors in a business entity are the providers of risk capital. Unless they are managers as well as owners, they invest in order to obtain a financial return on their investment. They need information that will help them to make investment decisions.
Creditors
Financial information about an entity is also useful for suppliers who provide goods on credit to a business entity, and ‘other trade creditors’ who are owed money by the entity as a result of debts incurred in its business operations (such as money owned for rent or electricity or telephone charges). They can use the financial statements to assess how much credit they might safely allow to the entity.
Customers
Customers might be interested in the financial strength of an entity, especially if they rely on that entity for the long-term supply of key goods or services.
Tax authorities
The tax authorities use the information in the financial statement for the purpose of business regulation or deciding taxation policies.
Recruiting from within the company would mean that the new personnel would be very familiar with the company procedures and also probably know most of the other employees in their office so it would/should be easy for them to be integrated into the company. Also, they would already know the culture of the company which means for example they would know how to approach people in the best way to get their cooperation. Their probable intimate knowledge of the history of the company would also make it easier for them to understand its present functioning. Hiring from outside the company would have the advantage of having someone with a fresh point of view and able to see the co. more objectively and therefore be able to point out things which may be detrimental to its proper functioning. On the positive side, having someone who has had say wide experience with various companies there is more likelihood of them being more innovative about new ways of doing things. This is related to the problem that at least with some big companies, they sometimes think that because they are big and relatively successful, they have nothing to learn from other companies and this is an erroneous idea which may prevent them from optimizing their production.
Answer: The correct answer is "A. research and development".
Research and development are <u>NOT</u> considered as one of the three primary functions that all organizations perform.
Explanation: The basic operating cycle of a company is buy-sell-collect-pay. In some cases, companies can produce the good they sell or directly re-sell it. This implies production, operation and marketing activities to increase sales and for an adequate control of these you need accounting.
Only in particular cases do companies engage in research and development, but it is not something basic.
Answer:
Generally convertible bonds are cheaper than normal corporate bonds since the warrants that allow bondholders to convert them to stocks carry a price. If the stock price is undervalued, so will the warrants. This means that yes, the company will also lose money if they issue convertible bonds.
But what is really important here is what action results in the lowest loss. Issuing common stock will probably result in higher losses than issuing convertible bonds.
