Why is it important to be informed about economic activity

How did speculative investing weaken the stability of the stock market?

tiny-mole [99]

<span>Heavy speculation is a bad idea in any market since it has a tendency to inflate prices to unrealistic levels. That is basically what many investors prior to the Great Depression did when they thought the market would keep going higher and higher. They borrowed money, sold their houses, etc.. to buy into the stock market thanks to that kind of speculation without even considering the underlying reasons for why the market is there in the first place.</span>

Dollar Co. sold merchandise to Pound Co. on account, $25,500, terms 2/15, net 45. Pound Co. paid the invoice within the discount

aniked [119]

Answer:

$24,990

Explanation:

2/15 net 45 means that if the customer pays within the period of 15 days, he will get the discount of 2% of invoice amount, otherwise he has to pay the whole amount of invoice within the period of 45 days.

In the given scenario, since the Pound Co. has paid the invoice within the discount period, so therefore, the Pound Co. has availed the discount of 2% and accordingly the sales amount shall be recorded as follows:

Sales amount=Invoice amount*98%

=$25,500*98%

=$24,990
