Answer:
- Yes it is.
- Ethical issue ⇒ Insider Trading.
Explanation:
Trading on the stock exchange is supposed to be as fair as possible so that every investor has a fair chance of making returns. If a person - like this supervisor - is using information that is material but not publicly disclosed yet to trade on markets, the fairness of the market is compromised because the person will have an edge over other investors which will enable them make unfair profits.
Information on quarterly returns is usually material so we can expect it to be material here as well which means that the supervisor is engaged in insider trading.
Insider trading is not only unethical but also highly illegal. Reporting your supervisor can get them sent to jail.
Answer:
a. Cash 7,000 Accounts Receivable 7,000

Answer:
The correct answer is $720 in Year 1 and $240 in Year 2 Next.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:
Loan Amount =$16,000
Rate of interest = 6%
Time period for first year (Apr - Dec) = 9 months
Time period for second year ( Jan - Mar) = 3 months
So, we can calculate the amount of interest by using following formula:
For first year:
Amount of interest (1st year) = $16,000 × 6% × 9 ÷ 12 = $720
Amount of interest (2nd year) = $16,000 × 6% × 3 ÷ 12 = $240
Answer: the same interest income is reported each year
Explanation:
The straight-line amortization method is a simple way to amortize a bond as an equal amount of interest are allocated over every accounting period.
When using straight line amortization on premium bonds, the same interest income is reported each year. Therefore, option A is the best answer.
Answer: B. Foreign cars become more expensive.
Explanation: The tariff slapped on imported goods such as cars and other foreign commodities will raise the overall cost of the product on the side of the seller and definitely the final selling price of such product to the consumers. This is used to raise revenue for the government and also to encourage the manufacture, adoption and support for locally manufactured products. Locally manufactured substitute will tend to be cheaper and the additional tariff may put importers and consumers off, and hence settle for cheaper locally made alternative.
