Answer: b.balance sheet as an adjustment to stockholders' equity
Explanation:
Available-for-Sale Investments are investments by the company into other companies by means of owning their bonds or stocks. These bonds or stock are made available for selling and as such the company will not hold them to maturity.
For these types of instruments, the company will record the Unrealized Gains (losses) in Other Comprehensive Income. This is a part of the Equity Section of the balance sheet.
At the end of the period, the Unrealized Gains (losses) resulting from the Available for Sale Securities do not go to the income statement but rather are put into the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income distinction in the Equity section of the balance sheet. You can find it right below the Retained Earnings line.
<span>Working for a mental health agency, it is next to impossible to access information. Our agency is required by law to maintain all client records for 7 years in a secured area (limited access by Executive Director & Director of Operations, No access by employees). After 7 years they are to be disposed of properly. Our agency shreds our documents personally as to not allow a private company to do so, hence there is no breach of confidentiality. Then a private company (document disposal company) removes the shredded documentation for destruction. So it would be impossible (or at least, improbable) to obtain access to our organization information through dumpster diving.</span>
Answer:
c. will be able to make new loans up to a maximum of $9.50
Explanation:
If the reserve requirement is 5% it means that the bank is required to reserve(not loan out) 5% of it's reserves so in this case the bank is required to 5% of 10 (0.05*10) $0.50 as reserves and can loan out $9.50 (10-0.50). As the bank has no desire to hold on to excess reserves we can be sure that it will only hold 0.50 as reserve as it is required and loan out $9.50. So statement c is correct.
Statement A is incorrect because the bank does not need to increase required reserve by $10 but by just $0.50.
Statement B is incorrect a deposit of $10 cannot increase the total reserve by $10.50 as it is impossible mathematically.
Statement d is incorrect because 2 of the 3 statements are incorrect therefore all of the above statements cant be correct.
Answer:
d. retail positioning matrix
Explanation:
In the example, it is noted that Boston Market has added value to its original restaurant format (with pickup, delivery...) on the one hand. On the other hand, they broadened the product line with the grocery foods. The two factors imply the axes of the <em>retail positioning matrix.</em>
The <em>retail life cycle</em> is an often confused topic that is similar to the <em>product life cycle</em> (which is related to products and services exclusively) conceptually. It consists of the following phases: innovation, growth, maturity and decline. Although this example can be correlated to the <em>innovation </em>phase of the retail life cycle, we cannot pinpoint the Boston Market's place on the retail life cycle curve, as we do not have info about its competitors, market share and other external info. Therefore, we cannot detect whether the company is in its up or down phase.
The <em>wheel of retailing</em> is an irrelevant concept, which refers to the tendency that most retailers enter a market in an extremely competitive manner (low cost, for example) and then becomes more exclusive (high cost, better reputation...).
