<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Your question asks what the purpose of a safety stock is.

<h3>Answer: B). control the likelihood of a stock out due to variable demand​ and/or lead time.</h3>

The reason why answer choice "B). control the likelihood of a stock out due to variable demand​ and/or lead time" is the correct answer because companies have safety stocks to control the chances of having a stock out.

Safety stocks are also known as a "reserve" for a company, in other words, stocks that a company doesn't touch. It's to ensure that companies don't go through a time where there's an increase in demand while there is a "delay" in production.

If a companies stock demand goes up, but then they can't "produce" the amount that is needed to meet the demand, then they will go through "stock out" and have to go through what is called "stock out costs."

Safety stocks are also known as a "rainy-day" stock, due to the fact that safety stocks are used when a company are not having a great day with the "demand" / "value" of their stocks. It's just to "ensure" / "keep the company safe" from a huge stock out.

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 using the indirect method.

Cash flow from operating activities:

Net loss = $12,000

Adjustment to reconcile net loss with cash flows from operating activities:

Depreciation = ($20,000 + $10,000 - $13,000) = $7,000

Loss on sale of land = $2,000

Increase in accounts receivable = ($20,000)

Increase in prepaid expense = ($5,000)

Increase in accounts payable = $6,000

Net cash used in operating activities = ($12,000)

Cash flow from investing activities

Sale of land = ($40,000 - $18,000 - $2,000) = $20,000

Sale of equipment = $5,000

Net cash generated by investing activities = $25,000

Cash flow from financing activities

Retirement of bond = ($12,000)

Proceeds from issuance of bonds = $20,000

Net cash used by financing activities = $8,000

Net increase in cash = $6,000

Add: beginning cash balance = $31,000

Ending cash balance = $37,000

Workings

• Calculation of depreciation

The accumulated depreciation at the end of the year 2020 = ($20,000)

Hence;

Accumulated depreciation at the end of the year 2020 = ($13,000)

Increase in accumulated depreciation during 2020 = $20,000 - $13,000 = $7,000

Add: accumulated depreciation on equipment sold during 2017 = $10,000

Total depreciation expense for 2020 = $7,000 + $10,000 = $17,000

• Calculation of proceeds from sale of land:

Cost of land = $40,000 - $18,000 = $22,000

Loss on sale of land = $2,000

Therefore,

Proceeds from sale of land = cost of land sold - loss on sale of land

= $22,000 - $2,000

= $20,000

• Calculation of issuance of bonds payable during 2020

The bonds payable at the end of year 2019 = $19,000

Hence,

Bonds payable at the end of year 2020 = $27,000

Retirement of bonds during year 2020 = $12,000

Therefore,

Bonds issued during 2020 = $27,000 + $12,000 - $19,000 = $20,000

Dée Trader opens a brokerage account and purchases 300 shares of Internet Dreams at $36 per share. She borrows $4,500 from her b
meriva

Answer:

A) Dee´s Margin = 58.33%; B) Remaining Margin if price drops to $26 is 30.56% C) She won´t receive a margin call (but close...)

D) Rate of Return = - 32.36%

Explanation:

Hi, first let´s find out what the initial margin is, for that we have to use the following formula.

Margin=\frac{Equity}{ValueStocks}

Now, in order to find the equity, we have to find the total value of the stocks and substract the debt from it, since it was 300 shares at $30 per share, the total value of the investment is $7,800, therefore, its equity is $3,300 ($7,800-$4,500).

So everything should look like this

Margin=\frac{6,300}{10,800} =0.5833

So the initial margin was 58.33%

If the price drops to $26 by the end of the year, the remaining margin in her account is:

Margin=\frac{3,300}{10,800} =0.3056

So the remaining margin one year later, after the stock price dropped to $26 was 30.56%

Now, in order to find the rate of return on her investment, at the end of the year, we have to remember that the money loaned was at 11%, therefore, the best way to find out the return of this investment is to convert this into money, like such.

First (Gross Return of the stock)

Gross Return=\frac{Final.P-Initial.P}{Initial.P} x100

Gross Return=\frac{26-36}{36} x100=-0.2778

Ok, we have the gross return, which is -$27.78%

The interest expenses are just as follows.

Interest Expense=4,500*0.11=-495

To find the return on the investmen, we need to use the following formula.

RateReturn=\frac{FinalInvestment-InitialInvestment}{InitialInvesment} x100

The final investment is: Gross return($)+interest Expenses

FinalInvest=\frac{300*(-10)+(-4,500*0.11)}{10,800} =-0.3236

This means that, by the end of the year, her return on the investment was -32.36%. In money, this is - $3,495.

Best of luck.

Spontaneous financing refers
nadezda [96]

Answer: In business, "spontaneous finance" refers to financing that arises out of regular, day-to-day operations. Unlike with other common sources of financing, such as loans or bonds, obtaining additional spontaneous financing doesn't require any special action by the company; it just "happens," hence the name spontaneous.
