Can you breifly explain why stockholders' investment and revenues increase stockholders' equity, while dividends and expenses de

crease stockholders' equity.

Scilla [17]3 years ago

From an accounting standpoint, stockholders' investment and revenues increase the assets of the company without adding to the liabilities. Therefore according to the equation (A = L + E), equity must increase.

Similarly, issuing dividends and paying expenses pays cash out of the company, which decreases assets without changing liabilities. Therefore equity must decrease.

Another way to think of it is: what contributes to the company's profit and/or value, and what decreases these things? Well, revenues and people investing in the company are good (and therefore good for stockholders), and giving cash out and paying expenses are costs to the company (and therefore decrease value for stockholders).

According to the inequality, the marginal utility per dollar spent on good X is less than the marginal utility per dollar spent
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

The answer is: Consume more good Y and less good X.

Imagine that you are a consultant, and have been hired by Rosewell's board of directors to examine decision making within the fi
poizon [28]

Explanation:

Executive Information System (EIS) is a specialised form of decision making support system designed to give management level employees background information on topics both internal and external to the company. Using this information, they are then guided by the governance policies and standard operating procedures of the company in the decisions they need to make, considering environmental factors, availability of resources and time constraints. The Information Systems models contain routine and special statistical, financial, and other quantitative analysis.  

According to Computer Business Research, “the focus on Executive Information Systems is on easy to use user interfaces and graphical displays. The benefits of this is that they offer strong reports and drill down capabilities. Executive Information Systems are important because they help top-level executives analyze, compare and highlight trends in important areas so they can monitor performance and identify opportunities and problems. Over recent years however, the popularity of Executive Information Systems has decreased due to Business Intelligence, analytic(s), and digital dashboards.”

Steps followed in implementing EIS

1. Undertake research – the consultant has to find out what is applicable to the company specifically, looking at the company size, its resources, and other factors that affect information systems.  

2. Compare and benchmark with best practices globally, regionally and locally.  

3. Procure and/or Install the EIS.  

4. Check if it is operating effectively. Also train the end users on how to make efficient use of the information system.  

5. Keep monitoring and evaluating the system

Answer:

When sending an email cover letter, it's even more important to be concise. The first paragraph is what readers pay attention to when reading an email. The rest of the message is typically skimmed.
