Answer: B) economic responsibilities toward its shareholders

Explanation:

The primary purpose of a company is to maximize shareholder wealth. This means that it is to pursue strategy that would ensure the maximum return to its shareholders. This is also known as its economic responsibility towards shareholders.

Producing xylene-free paints reduces the dividends that are going to shareholders so it would seem that shareholder wealth is not being maximized and they are not getting the maximum return they could get so the company is violating its economic responsibilities towards shareholders. It is for a good cause though.

Ending total assets are $1,500,000, inventory turnover is 6.0 times, net sales are $8,000,000 and the asset turnover is 4.0 time
NARA [144]

Answer:

$2,500,000

Explanation:

Data provided

Ending assets = $1,500,000

Inventory turnover = 6.0 times

Net sales = $8,000,000

The computation of beginning total asset balance is shown below:-

Average total assets = $8,000,000 ÷ 4

= $2,000,000

Total assets = $2,000,000 × 2

= $4,000,000

Beginning assets  = Total assets - Ending assets

= $4,000,000  - 1,500,000

= $2,500,000

Therefore we applied the above formula

An issuer has filed a registration statement in the state proposing to offer 500,000 shares in a combined primary and secondary
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

b. 300,000 shares being sold is an issuer transaction and the 200,000 shares being sold is a non-issuer transaction.

Explanation:

A non-issuer transaction is a transaction that does not directly benefit an issuer or it was not directly executed to benefit an issuer.

According to the Uniform State Law, an entity involved in the sales of certificates of interest, leases, mining titles among others is officially exempted from being labelled as an issuer. Hence, the entity (officers of the firm) in the question are non-issuer brokers.

Specifically, when the sales of stock are carried out by someone or an individual who is not a registered stockbroker, that individual officially becomes what is called 'a non-issuer broker-dealer'. The implication is that such a transaction is to be exempted from the registration requirements of the Security Exchange Commission.

In this question, since the issuer newly issued 300,000 shares while the remaining 200,000 in the proposed combination was offered by Officers of the firm - non-issuer broker-dealers. The Law states that it must be separated to show that 300,000 shares are sold in an issuer transaction (Primary) directly involving an official issuer while 200,000 shares are sold in a non-issuer transaction (Secondary).
