Answer: $85,000

Explanation:

Drawings are debited/deducted from the Equity account to reflect that the owner's holdings in the business has reduced.

Profit is added to the Equity account in the form of Retained Earnings.

The closing Balance on Equity is;

Closing Balance = Opening Balance + Profit - Drawings

Profit = Closing Balance - Opening Balance + Drawings

Profit = 175,000 - 120,000 + 30,000

Profit = $85,000

RT is about to loan his granddaughter Cynthia $10,000 for 1 year. RT’s TVOM, based upon his current investment earnings, is 12%,
qaws [65]

Answer:

They should not be able to successfully negotiate the terms of this loan within these parameters.

Explanation:

It has been provided that RT earns 12% on his current investments and would not like to receive an interest rate of less than 12% on the loan he gives.

if RT gives a loan of $10,000 for one year, he would charge an interest rate of minimum 12%.  

Interest = $10,000*0.12

             = $1,200

RT requires $1,200 in interest.

It has been provided that Cynthia earns 8% on her investment.

If she borrows $10,000 and invests the amount for one year, she can earn 8% return on such amount.  

Earning = $10,000*0.08

             = $800

Cynthia is going to earn $800

RT requires a minimum of $1,200 as interest for 1-year loan he gives while Cynthia can pay a maximum of $10,000 as interest for 1-year loan she takes. there is mismatch between the minimum expectation to receive of lender and the maximum expectation to pay of borrower.

Therefore, They should not be able to successfully negotiate the terms of this loan within these parameters.

polet [3.4K]

Amanda is kind of an unsecured creditor.

<h3>What Is an Unsecured Creditor?</h3>

An unsecured creditor is an individual or institution that lends money without obtaining specified assets as collateral. This poses a higher risk to the creditor because it will have nothing to fall back on should the borrower default on the loan.

If a borrower fails to make a payment on a debt that is unsecured, the creditor cannot take any of the borrower's assets without winning a lawsuit first.

In other word, An unsecured creditor is a creditor other than a preferential creditor that does not have the benefit of any security interests in the assets of the debtor.

Therefore, we can conclude tat the correct option is A. Amanda is kind of an unsecured creditor.

Travka [436]

1) Has he diversified his portfolio within the 11 sectors?

2) Does he go for capital appreciation stocks or dividend stocks?

3) How much time does he spend studying a company's financials (10K form) and charts?

4) Who is his favorite investor? Warren Buffet for picking great stocks and holding for many many years or someone like  Bill Ackman who is a bit deceptive on his trading tactics (over the summer he said 'Hell is coming' a signal thought by many as "panic sell" whilst he was buying heavily)

5) What is the number he is seeking to retire? There's usually a number ranging from $1M and $200M.

6) Maybe ask him if he is seeking to get licensed as a CMT (reading chart patterns)?

Hope this helps, either way best of luck to him!
