The risk that diversification helps us overcome is known as an unsystematic risk.

Explanation:

As the name suggests, it means a situation of a company being affected by a risk that doesn’t exist in other industries. It only takes place in a specific industry. Diversification is taken up to reduce this risk; the companies invest in various sectors rather than sticking to one specific sector.

It also involves allocating various financial instruments for investments. Diversification targets the returns and helps in improving it as the company invests in various categories that perform differently and differ in reactions too.

________________ invested or made loans with 95 percent of the deposits that were being held..

Over [174]

Answer:

(European) goldsmiths

Explanation:

European goldsmiths (Italian goldsmiths were the first) formulated a principle that only 5% of deposits were needed in reserve at any particular time, therefore they could lend 95% of the gold they held in deposit.

Goldsmiths would rent space in their vaults that allowed other people to keep their gold in a safe place. That led to transactions were notes indicating the amount of gold deposited would be traded instead of trading gold itself.

Eventually goldsmiths discovered that they could trade (lend) more money than the amount of gold they held in deposits, inventing fractional reserve banking.

Kirkland sells season tickets for six events at a price of $48. For the 2013 season, 2,700 season tickets were sold.

alexira [117]

Answer:

a. Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $129,600

b. Debit Unearned ticket revenue for $129,600, and Credit Total revenue for $129,600.

c. It would be classified as an Unearned ticket revenue under the Current Liabilities on the balance sheet.

Explanation:

a. Use the horizontal model to show the effect of the sale of the season tickets. (Enter decreases to account balances with a minus sign.)

Note: See the attached excel file for the horizontal model showing the effect of the sale of the season tickets.

In the attached excel file, the following calculation is done:

Cash = Unearned ticket revenue = Price per season ticket * Number of season tickets sold = $48 * 2,700 = $129,600

Since Stockholders' Equity is equal to zero in the attached excel file, we have:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $129,600

b. Use the horizontal model (or write the journal entry) to show the effect of presenting an event.

The journal entry will look as follows:

General Journal Debit ($) Credit ($)

Unearned ticket revenue 129,600

Total revenue 129,600

(To record the effect of presenting an event.)

c. Where on the balance sheet would the account balance representing funds received for performances not yet presented be classified?

It would be classified as an Unearned ticket revenue under the Current Liabilities on the balance sheet.

Why labor and management might be at odds and why?

NikAS [45]

The most frequently employed technique of workers was the STRIKE. Withholding labor from management would, in theory, force the company to suffer great enough financial losses that they would agree to worker terms. Strikes have been known in America since the colonial age, but their numbers grew larger in the Gilded Age.
