No, you do not have to own stocks yourself to be impacted by the change of the markets. Anybody who owns stocks AND run businesses that YOU go too will impact YOU dramatically. If stock prices drop, the amount of money they have will drop considerably, which means they have less money for merchandise. If they don't have merchandise, the businesses will go out, and you will not have anyplace to go too for your needs (for food, medicine, etc)
hope this helps
Answer:
- A. Working capital will remain the same at $18,964,118
- C. Chesters' long-term debt will rise by $9,000,000
- E. Total liabilities will be $139,957,573
Explanation:
You included no balance sheet for Chester so I will answer based on inference.
Option A is most likely correct because Working capital relates to Current Assets less Current liabilities so Plant and Equipment (fixed assets) and bonds (long term liabilities) will not affect it.
Total assets rising to $235,525,291 is also quite possible if the assets were previously $225,525,291 so just check for that but this is most likely correct.
Option C is wrong because the long term debt should rise by $10,000,000 which is the value of the bonds.
Option D is wrong as well as this relates to long term bonds not investment by shareholders.
Total liabilties rising is probably correct if the current figure on the balance sheet is $129,957,573 because that would mean that it increased by $10,000,000 which is the price of the bond.
So just check your given balance sheet for Options C and E for my notes and if correct, they are your answers as well as A.

Answer: Direct materials quantity variance.
Explanation:
Direct Material quantity variance is the difference between the actual quantity of materials used in production and the standard quantity that was supposed to be used, multiplied by the standard price of the material.
It is a method that checks the company's efficiency is being able to use raw materials to produce goods. If the Actual quantity needed is greater than the Standard quantity, this will be considered an Unfavorable Variance and mean that the company was not efficient in using the materials.
Causes of this can be low quality of materials and inadequate employee training.
