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%

kvasek [131]

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The right answer is A. Liabilities increased by $1.0 million in 2018

Explanation:

During 2017 and 2018, we have the following information:

+ In 2017, there is $2 million wages earned but not yet paid, so, Wages payable at the end of 2017 should be amounted to $2 million.

+ In 2018, there is another $8 million wages earned. At the same period, there is $7 million wages paid which is distributed as followed: $2 million to clear all Wages payable in 2017 and the other $5 million to clear $5 million out of $8 million wages payable in 2018. So, the only wages liability outstanding at the end of 2018 is the amount of $3 million earned in 2018 but not yet paid ($8 million - $5 million).

=> Liabilities in 2018 increases $1.0 million in comparison with the year 2017 ( $3 million - $2 million).
