Answer:
True
Explanation:
Cash flow is a measure of the available cash and cash equivalent for operation in a business year.It has to be positive to generate value for investors and also to remain in business.
Profit is defined as the excess of income over expenses.
We need to know that profit are calculated on accrual basis, which means that income are recorded when earned and expenses recorded when incurred. In a situation where most sales are on account , i.e no instant cash payment and most expenses are on cash basis, this could cause a deficit in the cash flow volume. The level of inventory held could also lead to a negative cash flow despite a profitable operation if it is too high.
Answer:
C) ABC 5% and DEF 5.7%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Purchasing Cost of Stock ABC purchased = $40 per share
Purchasing Cost of Stock DEF purchased = $35 per share
Time = 6 months
Selling price of share of ABC = $42 per share
Selling price of DEF share = $36
Dividend paid to the DEF = $0.5 each quarter i.e $0.5 twice in 6 months
Thus,
Total dividend paid to DEF = $0.5 × 2
= $1
Now,
For ABC
Total return = Selling price - Purchasing Cost
= $42 - $40
= $2 per share
thus,
Holding period return = [ Total return ÷ Purchasing cost ] × 100%
= [ $2 ÷ $40 ] × 100%
= 5%
For DEF
Total return = Selling price + Dividend received - Purchasing Cost
= $36 + $1 - $35
= $2 per share
thus,
Holding period return = [ Total return ÷ Purchasing cost ] × 100%
= [ $2 ÷ $35 ] × 100%
= 5.7%
Hence,
option C) ABC 5% and DEF 5.7%.
