<span>Heavy speculation is a bad idea in any market since it has a tendency to inflate prices to unrealistic levels. That is basically what many investors prior to the Great Depression did when they thought the market would keep going higher and higher. They borrowed money, sold their houses, etc.. to buy into the stock market thanks to that kind of speculation without even considering the underlying reasons for why the market is there in the first place.</span>
Answer:
The debit to the retained earning should be $750,000 for this transaction because that is the market value of the asset to be distributed as dividend.
Explanation:
Property dividend is a form of dividend payout that involves distribution of company`s assets to equity holders as a form of return. These assets can be inventory, marketable securities or investment in a subsidiary.
For this distribution to be formal, it must be approved by the board of directors of the company. After approved and declared, the accounting entries can now be passed.
The accounting entries needed are:
Debit: Retained Earnings with the amount of the asset distributed.
Credit: Dividend Payable with the amount of the asset distributed.
It is important to note that the market value of asset to be distributed should be considered i.e the market value of the asset must be recognized in the book. The difference in book value and market value of the investment will be recognized in respective asset ledger account prior transfer to retained earnings.So that the market value of the investment is recognized on the debit side of retained earnings
In the case of Fitzgerald, $750,000 will be debited to retained earnings since it is the market value of the asset to be distributed.
Answer:
A. That's the point where total revenue is maximized
Explanation:
Demand Curve is a downward sloping curve representing inverse relationship between price & quantity demanded.
Elasticity of Demand is the responsiveness of quantity demanded to price change. It can be measured geometrically on a demand curve point by :
Demand curve segment below the point / Demand curve segment above the point.
This way the elasticity keeps on decreasing as we move downwards on the demand curve [Ed=∞ to Ed >1 to Ed = 1 to Ed < 1 to Ed = 0] i.e [from perfectly elastic to elastic to unitary elastic to inelastic to perfectly inelastic demand].
If Demand is Elastic [Ed >1] : There is negative relationship between price and Total Revenue. This point is on the upper segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P- TR negative relationship implies that TR can be increased by decreasing Price.
If Demand is Inelastic [Ed <1] : There is positive relationship between price &total revenue. This point is on the lower segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P-TR positive relationship implies that TR can be increased by increasing price.
So: The best Total Revenue Maximising point is on the middle of demand curve where demand is unitary elastic [Ed=1] - as any other deviation from this point would create an incentive to change price to generate higher revenue.
There are several problems that make public goods necessary, but the primary one is that without access to certain public goods and services like parks and schools, poor people would have practically no chance at advancement.
