Answer:
If Splendid Occasions had recorded their service revenue using the other method, how much service revenue would they have recorded for the year?
Ans: $2,970
The ''other method'' in question is the Cash method which recognizes revenue when cash is paid unlike the Accrual method that recognizes it when earned.
Using the Cash method the Service Revenue would be $2,970 because the cash has been received for it.
If Sweet Catering had recorded transactions using the Cash method, how much net income (loss) would they have recorded for the month of May?
= Cash revenues - Cash expense
= Received cash for meals served to customers - Prepaid rent for three months - Received and paid electricity bill
= 2,530 - 2400 - 60
= $70
If Sweet Catering had recorded transactions using the Accrual method, how much net income (loss) would they have recorded for the month of May?
= Revenue - Expense
= Served a banquet on account + Received cash for meals served to customers - Rent - Electricity - Accrued salary expense - depreciation
= 2,810 + 2,530 - (2,400/3) - 60 - 2,670 - 380
= $1,430

Answer: B. 7%; 2%
Explanation:
0ver the past 100 years, stocks have showed a positive average return of 7% whilst bonds have shown a return of 2%. This makes sense because stocks generally offer higher returns than bonds which are fixed.
Stocks react to a variety of factors including interest rates and market fluctuations which makes them more risky whereas bonds which are fixed income securities are more stable in their returns making them less of a risk.
Stocks therefore offer a higher return to compensate for this risk as opposed to bonds.
