Answer:

If a company issues bonus shares, there will be no increase in the capital and the debt-equity ratio remains unchanged.

Step-by-step explanation:

Free additional shares offered to existing shareholders is known as a bonus issue.

Bonus issues are given to shareholders when companies are short of cash and shareholders expect a regular income. It may also be issued to restructure company reserves.

However, issuing bonus shares does not involve cash flow. It increases the company’s share capital but not its net assets.

Since bonus issues only increase the number of shares a shareholder is holding but not the ratio/percentage of holding. Thus, if a company issues bonus shares, there will be no increase in the capital and the debt-equity ratio remains unchanged.

If Hannah gives her younger sister 3 shirts, it does not matter what order she hands them to her. No matter the order, it will still be the same group of 3 shirt. Since order is not important this problem can be solved using a combination.
Specifically, we are asked to find 8C3 (sometimes called "8 choose 3"). This is a fraction. In the numerator, we start with 8 and count down 3 numbers. In the denominator, we start with 3 and count all the way down to 1.

If n is a rational number then n2 is always less than n

stiv31 [10]

That easiliy false. You can prove this by observing that all integers are, in particular, rational numbers. So, for instance, you can think of 4 as $\frac{4}{1}$ , so $4 \in \mathbb{Z}\subset\mathbb{Q}$

And obviously, you have $4^2=16>4$

It is true that the square of every rational number between 0 and 1 is smaller than the number itself.

But since not all rational numbers are between 0 and 1, the general claim is false.
