None of those answers are suitable to me.

Government bonds are generally regarded as low-risk and they typically have modest (low) interest rates for return on investment, and these are advantages really. So we can discount answer A, C, and D.

I guess you could say that bonds can be hard to find (Answer B) but this not really true. There is always a bond market to trade bonds on. It requires setting up a trading account or speaking to a broker so this can be more difficult than putting money in a bank account, but to be honest I don't think any of those answers are appropriate for the question.

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Lightning Inc.

Computation of Bad Debts Expense:

7% of $7,500 = $525

21% of $1,600 = 336

46% of $1,300 = 598

Total $1,459

Credit Sales $ 20,000

Accounts Payable 10,000

Accounts Receivable 10,400

Lightning uses the aging method and estimates it will not collect 7% of accounts receivable not yet due, 21% of receivables up to 30 days past due, and 46% of receivables greater than 30 days past due.

The accounts receivable balance of $10,400 consists of $7,500 not yet due, $1,600 up to 30 days past due, and $1,300 greater than 30 days past due.

Age Analysis of Accounts Receivable balance of $10,400

Two firms, A and B, must each choose either a low price or a high price for their product. The payoff matrix shows the profit

ahrayia [7]

Answer: 1. A.Both firms will choose the low price.

2. B. Both firms would choose the high price.

Explanation:

1. If the firms cannot cooperate with each other and must choose simultaneously, both firms will choose the low price.

This is because at the low price both of them are at the highest profit they can make when they are not cooperating. For instance, if Firm B chooses Low Price and Firm A chooses High Price, Firm A will make $3 million while Firm be will make $8 million.

If Firm B decides to have a high price then firm A will take the low price and make $8 million in profit while Firm B makes $4 million. If they are not working together, they will both have to take the low price to make the most profit.

2. If the firms could cooperate with each other, both firms would choose the high price.

The is because they will be making more than competing and getting a lower profit. Should they cooperate they will each get $7 million in profit because they will pick the option they can both make the highest profit at. The is better than competing and making only $5 and $6 million respectively.

If you need any clarification do comment. Cheers.

Difference between mature and fertilizer

Daniel [21]

Fertilizer and manure can be added to the soil in order to increase the yield of crops. Fertilizer, however, has more nutrients in it and is therefore more beneficial to growing plants. Manure can be prepared in fields (created by animal and plant wastes) while fertilizer is created in factories (using chemical compounds). Manure provides humus to the soil while fertilizer does not, but fertilizer is absorbed by plants more quickly than manure.
