Which of the following answers correctly ranks investments from highest to lowest risk (and return), where the security with the highest risk is shown first, the one with the lowest risk last?a. Large-company stocks, small-company stocks, long-term corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury bills, long-term government bonds. b.

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

US Treasury bills are extremely low-risk because they are backed by the full faith of the United States government and are guaranteed to increase. Long-term government bonds are slightly higher risk because they aren't necessarily backed by the US government, and the risk is corroborated by slightly higher expected growth. Long-term corporate bonds are next highest because, similar to government bonds, they are long-term and as a result almost never decreased over their maturity. Stocks are the highest risk investment on this list (their volatility quickly becomes clear if you look at any stock market index), and small-company stocks are more volatile (high risk) than large-company stocks because they can go under easier with less of a financial cushion.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

cash provided by operating activities  84,000

Explanation:

net income  75,000

Adjustment (A)

gain on land   (500)

depreciation   1,500

Adjusted net income                  76,000

Change in working capital

↑account receivable   (3,000) (B)

↓long term AR             10,000 (C)

↑Account payable         1,000 (D)

Net changes                               8,000

cash provided by operating activities  84,000

<u>Notes:</u>

(A)

The net income may have non-monetary term, we need to remove those to get and adjusted net income on a cash basis

the gain on land is not a monetary term. We will record the proceeds in cash for the sale under investment activities, not operating as the business is not selling land every year.

depreciation is an accounting metric, is not an actual expense, it doesn't involve cash.

(B)

the increasein the Ar means more sales were not collected therefore, less cash collected.

(C)

the decrease in the long term AR  represent the collection, so it increases the cash

(D)

the increase in account payable represent the delay of payment, so company has more cash available.
