Answer:

23.25%; 62.01%

Explanation:

(a) Amount received:

= No. of shares × selling price

= 100 × $43

= $4,300

Sales deposit = 60% of Amount received

                        = 0.6 × $4,300

                        = $2,580

Amount paid = No. of shares × Purchase price

                      = 100 × $49

                      = $4,900

Therefore, Loss = $4,900 - $4,300

                           = $600

(b) If buys at $27, then

Amount paid = $27 × 100

                     = $2,700

Profit = $4,300 - $2,700

         = $1,600

Loss on investment:

= ($600 ÷ $2,580) × 100

= 23.25%

Profit on investment:

= ($1,600 ÷ $2,580) × 100

= 62.01%

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer: 1. real GDP declined.

Explanation:

If labor productivity fell yet the workforce did not increase, that means that for Years 1 and 2, workers were producing less than they were producing before because the same number of people were producing.

This means that the amount of goods produced in the country would reduce and therefore GDP would reduce as well as GDP is the amount of goods and services produced in a country. If labor productivity had fallen yet the work-hours had increased, the increase in worker hours would have made up for the loss of labor productivity.

drek231 [11]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

It will not be proper to just choose the balance in the cash ledger or the one in the bank because the balance as per the cash ledger in the book might be different from the balance in the bank statement in the bank.

So to eliminate this differentiation, bank reconciliation needs to be done. After this reconciliation has been carefully done, the adjusted cash balance in the reconciliation will be used.
