Answer: c. capital loss.

Explanation:

A capital loss refers to a scenario where the price of a security falls below the price at which it was purchased. This is what happened to the Alpha Industries stock above as the price dropped from $39 to $37 which led to a capital loss of $2.

The dividends paid seem to outweigh the capital loss but we cannot be certain of this unless we know the tax rate being applied to the dividends and because these are usually high, the after tax dividends might have been lower the capital loss of $2.

For those brave enough to act effectively now to stabilise and protect your
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

One important financial reporting instrument for measuring and assessing an organisations liquidity risk is the Cash Flows statement. It speaks to the availability of cash in the short term, and or assets that can be readily converted to cash.

In other words, when a business has immediate financial obligations, cash refers to those resources that can be used to satisfy them.

An understanding of cash flows is crucial to business success because it:

  • provides a clear picture of an organisations cash status or liquidity;
  • helps business owners plan for how much cash expected in the future and when it is likely to come;
  • when organisations want to benchmark their performance against one another, it becomes very handy and useful. Banks, for instance, measure the ability of a business to meet it's liquidity requirements as a measure of eligibility to receive additional finance.

One way companies can maintain liquidity during this pandemic is to control overhead expenses. Necessity is the mother of invention. Companies can have their team brainstorm on creative ways to cut down on operational, administrative and production costs. Some costs which can be considered for downward revision are rent, labor costs (such as business performance incentives), professional fees, marketing costs, advertising costs, public relations etc.

Cheers!

On March 1, 2021, Bearcat lends an employee $20,000. The employee signs a note requiring principal and interest at 9% to be paid
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Debit interest receivable $1,500

Credit interest revenue $1,500

Explanation:

Adjust entries are used in accounting to record accrued revenue or expense at the end of an accounting period.

On March 1, 2021, Bearcat lends an employee $20,000. The employee signs a note requiring principal and interest at 9% to be paid on February 28, 2022.

We are to calculate the adjustment at December 31, 2021.

We need to calculate interest accrued at year end. The loan would have stayed for 10 months.

Interest= principal* rate* time

Interest= 20,000* 0.09* (10/12)

Interest = $1,500

So we will debit interest receivable for $1,500 and credit interest revenue.

On January 1, 2017, MM Co. borrows $350,000 cash from a bank and in return signs an 4% installment note for five annual payments
frez [133]

Answer:

a. Journal entry to record the issue of notes

Date           Account Title & Explanation   Debit $        Credit $

Jan 1          Cash                                           350,000

                 Notes Payable                                                350,000

                  (To record the issue of notes payable)

b. Calculation of Interest Expenses

                      Particulars                           Amount $

Beginning balance of loan payment         350,000

Annual interest rate                                          4%

Interest expenses                                         14,000

Hence the interest expenses = $14,000

Principal amount is calculated as the difference between the annual payment and the interest expenses as seen below

                   Particulars                           Amount $

Annual payment                                      96,590

Less: Interest expenses                          14,000

Principal Payment                                  82,590

Hence, the principal payment =$82,590

Profit maximization occurs when:
lianna [129]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Profit maximization refers to the situation when a firm is able to maximize the total profit that it could earn through the production of goods and services.  

The total profit is maximized when the marginal profit is zero or when the marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. The marginal profit is the difference between marginal revenue and marginal cost.  

If the marginal revenue is greater than the marginal cost the firm should increase production till both are equal.  

In case, marginal revenue is less than the marginal cost the firm should stop producing more and reduce production till both are equal.
