Answer:
The important thing to remember here is that the interest is compounded semi annually, which means twice a year. When the 1st interest is compounded, the second interest is calculated on that new amount.

17%
Explanation:
If a company issued a short-term note payable to a bank with a stated 12 percent rate of interest and in addition the bank charged a .5% loan origination fee and remitted the balance to the company. The effective interest rate paid by the company in this transaction would be 17%
The effective annual interest rate is <u>the interest rate that is actually earned or paid on an investment, loan</u> or other financial product.
Hence, since the company is both paying the initial 5% and the later 12%, effectively the company is paying 17% on the note payable.

The Acid-test and current ratios are used to measure the liquidity of a company with higher figures meaning more liquidity. XYZ Company has a both a higher acid-test and current ratio so they are more liquid than others in their industry.
The Acid-test and current ratio also enable one to find out if a company is able to pay off its current obligations/ liabilities using current assets. With the acid-test ratio being above one, XYZ is able to pay off short-term debt using quick assets.
You don't want all of your eggs in one basket. If one stock and/sector of the market sinks, hopefully it will be offset by your diversification.
