Correct Answer(s)
A. Marketable securities
C. Prepaid expensesExplanation
Current assets include cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, and prepaid
expenses. Out of these current assets, changes in cash, accounts receivable and inventory can be directly
linked to changes in sales. However, marketable securities and prepaid expenses are independent of
sales, i.e., changes in sales may not affect these two heads. It is also important to note that the current
assets do not change exactly in the same proportion as the sales in real life situationRate this question:

Expected Estimated retained earnings= estimated sales x profit margin x plowback ratio
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The given statement is true. Estimated retained earnings can be calculated by multiplying the estimated sales with the profit margin and the plowback ratio. Retained earnings represent the portion of a company's net income that is reinvested back into the business rather than distributed to shareholders as dividends. By estimating the sales, profit margin, and plowback ratio, a company can determine the expected retained earnings for a given period.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Plow back ratioExplanation
The given correct answer is "Plow back ratio." The plow back ratio refers to the proportion of earnings that a company chooses to reinvest back into the business rather than distributing it to shareholders as dividends. It indicates the amount of profits that the company retains for future growth and expansion. A higher plow back ratio suggests that the company is reinvesting a larger portion of its earnings back into the business, which can lead to increased capital investment and potential for higher future profits.Rate this question:

- C.
Pay out ratio
- D.
Profit margin ratio
Correct Answer
C. Pay out ratioExplanation
The pay out ratio is a financial metric that measures the proportion of earnings that a company distributes to its shareholders in the form of dividends. It is calculated by dividing the dividends paid by the net income. This ratio indicates how much of the company's profits are being returned to shareholders and how much is being retained for reinvestment or other purposes. Therefore, the pay out ratio is the correct answer as it represents the equation given in the question.Rate this question:

- B.
Profit margin=Net sales/net income
- C.
Profit margin= Total income/sales
- D.
Profit margin= Total sales - total expenses
Correct Answer
A. Profit margin=net income/salesExplanation
The formula used to calculate the profit margin is net income divided by sales. This formula helps determine the percentage of each sales dollar that is profit. By dividing the net income by the sales, we can understand how efficiently a company is generating profit from its sales revenue. The higher the profit margin, the more profitable the company is.Rate this question:

G (Desired Growth Rate) = return on equity x (1- pay out ratio)
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The formula provided states that the desired growth rate (G) is equal to the return on equity multiplied by the difference between 1 and the payout ratio. This formula is used to calculate the expected growth rate based on the return on equity and the proportion of earnings that are retained by the company instead of being paid out as dividends. Therefore, the statement "G (Desired Growth Rate) = return on equity x (1- payout ratio)" is true.Rate this question:

Return on equity is
- A.
Total equity / Net income
- B.
Net income/ total equity
- C.
Net profit / total equity
- D.
Net income / owner's equity
Correct Answer
B. Net income/ total equityExplanation
Return on equity is a financial ratio that measures the profitability of a company by comparing its net income to its total equity. It indicates the amount of profit generated for each dollar of equity invested in the company. By dividing the net income by the total equity, this ratio provides insight into how effectively a company is utilizing its equity to generate profits. A higher return on equity signifies better financial performance and efficiency in utilizing shareholder's investments.Rate this question:

- D.
None
Correct Answer
A. =CCF X {[(1+i/m)^nxm -1]/ (i/m)}Explanation
The correct answer is =CCF X {[(1+i/m)^nxm -1]/ (i/m)}. This formula is used to calculate the future value of an annuity on a monthly basis. It takes into account the compounding frequency (m), the interest rate (i), the number of periods (n), and the cash flow (CCF). By using this formula, we can determine the future value of the annuity accurately.Rate this question:

To calculate the future value of an annuity on a monthly basis, we would use the formula =CCF X {[(1+i)^n -1]/ (i)}. This formula takes into account the compounding factor (CCF), the interest rate (i), and the number of periods (n). By raising (1+i) to the power of n and subtracting 1, we calculate the future value of the annuity. Finally, dividing by the interest rate (i) accounts for the monthly compounding.Rate this question:

The present value of annuity can also be called the intrinsic value of the annuity.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The present value of an annuity refers to the current value of the future cash flows that will be received from the annuity. It takes into account the time value of money, discounting the future cash flows to their present value. Intrinsic value, on the other hand, refers to the inherent or fundamental value of an asset or investment. In the context of an annuity, the present value represents its intrinsic value because it reflects the current worth of the expected cash flows. Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:
