Answer:

The most suitable answer is Stocks may help you protect your money from inflation while bonds may be more susceptible to losing their value over time due to inflation.

Explanation:

Now remember, this is not "guaranteed" as stocks come with higher risks comparing to bonds, yet in US share market, stocks have performed well than the bonds overall. This is because stock prices fluctuate and if the company invested in is performing well, the share prices can sky rocket over a long period while in bonds you don't see this often as they are issued for a specific time and represents the debt capital.

Explanation:

Implicit costs refer to those costs that represent opportunity cost. In simple terms they are notional or those which haven't been actually incurred but considered.

Opportunity costs refer to the cost of sacrificed alternatives when an alternative is opted for. For instance, a student pursuing post graduation incurs implicit cost in the form of income foregone had he chosen to work instead for the same duration.

In the given case, the foregone rental income Jacques would've earned had he chosen to rent out his showroom represents opportunity cost or implicit cost.

Similarly, the salary Jacques sacrificed by working in boat business represents implicit cost.

The wages and utility bills that Jacques pays and wholesale cost which he pays represent costs which have actually been incurred, which are termed as explicit costs.

Note: See part b of the the attached excel file for the journal entries

Also note that before the journal entries are recorded, the current compensation expense for year 2019, 2020 and 2021 are first calculated. See part a of the attached excel file for the calculation of the the current compensation expense for year 2019, 2020 and 2021.

In part a of the attached excel file, the estimated compensation cost for 2019, 2020 and 2021 are calculated as follows:

Estimated compensation cost for 2019 = Option value on the grant date * Number of executives * (1 - Expected option forfeited rate) * Number of shares in the option = $14 * 50 * (1 - 15%) * 200 = $119,000

Estimated compensation cost for 2020 = Option value on the grant date * Number of executives * (1 - Expected option forfeited rate) * Number of shares in the option = $14 * 50 * (1 - 15%) * 200 = $119,000

Estimated compensation cost for 2021 = Option value on the grant date * (Number of executives - Actual executives turnover for the entire service period) * Number of shares in the option = $14 * (50 - 7) * 200 = $120,400

On 06 January 2022, the calculation of the entries used in the part b of the attached excel file are as follows:

w.1. Cash = Number of executives who exercise their options * Number of shares in the option * Purchase price per share after completing a 3-year service period = (8 * 200 * $30) = $48,000

w.2. Paid-in capital from share options = Number of executives who exercise their options * Number of shares in the option * Option value on the grant date = (8 * 200 * 14) = $22,400

w.3. Common Stock = Number of executives who exercise their options * Number of shares in the option * Sahre par value = (8 * 200 * $2) = $3,200

w.4. Paid in capital in excess of par- common stock (balancing figure) = Cash + Paid-in capital from share options - Common Stock = $48,000 + $22,400 - $3,200 = $67,200

faltersainse [42]

I would say that it is a CHECKING ACCOUNT. The answer for this would be option A. This type of account can be accessed anytime which makes its liquidity very high, but on the other side, this has very low interest and the minimum balance required is also low. Hope this helps.
