Answer:

A share of ownership in a company.

Explanation:

A stock represents ownership of a company. The total value of an organization is subdivided into small units called stock, shares, or equity. Each stock or share is a small portion of the organization. Holders or owners of the shares are the owners of the company. They are known as shareholders or stockholders.

Shareholders acquire their shares or equity by either being the founders of the business or by purchasing them. When a business is being formed, the founders contribute capital, which converts to shares. The business may opt to sell more shares to the public through IPO when they need to raise additional capital.

Examine the quarterly sales data in a little different way. Contruct two pie charts, one for sales in 2012 and the other for sal

julsineya [31]

Answer:

sales are becoming less seasonal

Explanation:

besides constructing a pie chart, we can also answer this question by percentages (which is more exact).

2012:

total sales = $69,338

Q1 sales = $10,613 / $69,338 = 15.31%

Q2 sales = $6,424 / $69,338 = 9.26%

Q3 sales = $19,283 / $69,338 = 27.81%

Q4 sales = $33,019 / $69,338 = 47.68%

2013:

total sales = $142,238

Q1 sales = $30,342 / $142,238 = 21.33%

Q2 sales = $33,867 / $142,238 = 23.81%

Q3 sales = $34,246 / $142,238 = 24.08%

Q4 sales = $43,783 / $142,238 = 30.78%

During 2012, almost 50% of total sales happened during Q4, something similar to selling toys which are extremely seasonal due to Christmas.

During 2013, this changed since Q4 sales only represent 30% of total sales. Sales increased during Q1 and Q2, and slightly decreased in Q3. They are much more similar now, since sales are almost evenly spread throughout the year.

Zepler [3.9K]

Anarchy is good and bad. Compared to communism it is WAY BETTER. Though, you can't vote on your leader like in democracies. Especially if you agree with the leader's values in an anarchy you would probably enjoy it. Also anarchies do have lots of power. I would say to search this up on google though.
