Question 7 Report

A bill of exchange paid before its due date at an amount less than its face value is said to have been

accepted

rejected

discounted Correct answer

dishonoured

Answer Details

The correct option is "discounted". A bill of exchange is a financial instrument that is used to facilitate transactions between parties. It is a written order from one party (the drawer) to another party (the drawee) to pay a certain amount of money to a third party (the payee) at a future date. When a bill of exchange is "discounted", it means that the payee has sold the bill to a bank or a financial institution before its due date. The bank or financial institution will pay the payee an amount less than the face value of the bill (i.e., the amount that the drawee is supposed to pay at maturity), in exchange for the right to collect the full amount from the drawee at maturity. The difference between the face value of the bill and the discounted amount paid by the bank or financial institution is called the "discount". The discount represents the interest that the bank or financial institution will earn from the transaction. In summary, when a bill of exchange is "discounted", it means that the payee has sold the bill before its due date at a price less than its face value, in exchange for immediate payment.

The portion of the authorized share capital given out to the public for subscription is

called-up capital

issued capital Correct answer

paid-up capital

reserved capital

Answer Details

The portion of the authorized share capital given out to the public for subscription is called the "issued capital." This is the total amount of money that a company raises by selling shares of stock to the public. The company decides how much of its authorized share capital it wants to issue, and it can issue more or less than the total amount it is authorized to issue. For example, if a company is authorized to issue 1 million shares of stock, it might choose to only issue 500,000 shares to the public. The 500,000 shares that are sold to the public are referred to as the issued capital. In a nutshell, issued capital is the amount of money a company raises by selling shares of stock to the public, and it is a subset of the company's authorized share capital.

Printed messages sent by cable are recorded as

MMS

Answer Details

The correct option is "telegram". A telegram is a message that is sent by cable from one place to another. It is a form of communication that was widely used in the past, before the advent of modern electronic communication systems like email, text messaging, and social media. To send a telegram, the sender would go to a telegraph office and dictate the message to a telegraph operator, who would transmit it over the telegraph network to the receiving station. The message would be recorded on a strip of paper using a telegraph key, which converts the sender's message into a series of electrical pulses that are transmitted over the wire. At the receiving station, the message would be printed out on a piece of paper by a telegraph printer. The paper strip with the recorded message would then be delivered to the recipient. Telegrams were often used to convey urgent or important messages, such as news of births, deaths, or emergencies, as well as business or government communications. The cost of sending a telegram was based on the number of words in the message, so senders had to be concise and clear in their communication. In summary, a telegram is a printed message that is sent by cable from one location to another. It was a popular form of communication in the past and was used for urgent or important messages.

The allocation of tasks to different skills in a production process is referred to as

production technique

production function

division of labour Correct answer

delegation of responsibility

Answer Details

The allocation of tasks to different skills in a production process is referred to as "division of labour." This is a process where a complex task is broken down into smaller, simpler tasks that can be performed by different workers with specialized skills. Division of labour is a common practice in manufacturing and other production processes because it can lead to increased efficiency and productivity. When each worker is responsible for a specific task, they can become more skilled at that task over time, leading to increased speed and accuracy. Additionally, the use of specialized equipment and tools can further increase efficiency. Production technique and production function are related concepts that describe the overall process of creating a product or providing a service. Production technique refers to the specific methods and tools used to produce a product or service, while production function refers to the relationship between inputs (such as labor, materials, and equipment) and outputs (such as products or services). Delegation of responsibility refers to the process of assigning tasks and responsibilities to other individuals or teams within an organization. While delegation can be an important part of effective management, it is not directly related to the allocation of tasks in a production process. In summary, the allocation of tasks to different skills in a production process is referred to as division of labour. This process can increase efficiency and productivity by allowing workers to specialize in specific tasks and use specialized tools and equipment. Production technique and production function describe the overall process of creating a product or service, while delegation of responsibility involves assigning tasks and responsibilities within an organization.

A business organization can obtain long term financing through

bank overdraft

the sale of shares Correct answer

credit purchases

bureau de change

Answer Details

A business organization can obtain long-term financing through the sale of shares. This means that a business can sell ownership stakes in the company to investors in exchange for funds that can be used to finance its operations or investments in the long-term. When a business sells shares, it is essentially selling a portion of ownership in the company. The investors who purchase these shares become shareholders and have a say in the company's decisions, as well as the potential to earn a return on their investment through dividends or capital appreciation. Compared to other financing options such as bank overdrafts or credit purchases, selling shares can provide a more stable and long-term source of funding. Bank overdrafts and credit purchases typically provide short-term financing that must be paid back quickly, whereas selling shares provides funds that do not need to be repaid and can be used for long-term investments. Bureau de change, on the other hand, is not a financing option at all, but rather a type of business that deals in the exchange of one currency for another. In summary, a business organization can obtain long-term financing through the sale of shares, which involves selling ownership stakes in the company to investors in exchange for funds that can be used to finance its operations or investments in the long-term. This provides a more stable and long-term source of funding compared to other options like bank overdrafts or credit purchases.

Answer Details

Goods and services are made available to consumers through the channel of distribution, which is a network of individuals and organizations that work together to get products and services from the producer to the final consumer. The channel of distribution includes a variety of entities, such as wholesalers, retailers, distributors, and agents. These middlemen play a crucial role in the distribution process by providing services such as storage, transportation, financing, and marketing. For example, a manufacturer of smartphones may use a wholesaler to purchase large quantities of phones at a discounted price. The wholesaler then sells the phones to retailers, who in turn sell them to consumers. The retailer may also provide additional services such as customer support and product demonstrations. In addition to the middlemen, the channel of distribution also includes transportation and logistics companies that ensure the products are delivered to the right place at the right time. Sales promotion and advertising agencies can also be part of the distribution channel by creating awareness and interest in the product. Overall, the channel of distribution is a critical component of the marketing mix, as it ensures that goods and services are available to consumers when and where they need them. Without an effective distribution strategy, even the best products may fail to reach their target market.

Which of the following is a characteristic of a bearer cheque

it is made with transverse lines

it is made payable to whoever presents it Correct answer

it is made without transverse lines

it is only payable into the payees account

Answer Details

A characteristic of a bearer cheque is that it is made payable to whoever presents it. A bearer cheque is a type of negotiable instrument that is payable to the bearer or holder of the cheque. This means that whoever possesses the cheque can cash it or deposit it into their own account, regardless of whether they are the payee named on the cheque or not. In other words, the payee is not specified on the cheque, and anyone who presents the cheque can receive payment. Bearer cheques are usually made without transverse lines, which are lines drawn across the cheque to indicate that the cheque can only be deposited into the account of the payee named on the cheque. Without transverse lines, bearer cheques can be easily transferred from person to person, making them a convenient form of payment. Overall, bearer cheques provide a flexible and convenient way to make payments, but they can also be risky because they can be easily stolen or lost. Therefore, it is important to handle bearer cheques with care and ensure that they are only given to trusted parties.

capital

labour Correct answer

land

Answer Details

The input in production that can be motivated by remuneration is "labour." Labour refers to the effort and time put in by workers to produce goods and services. Remuneration, in this context, refers to the payment or compensation that workers receive for their labour. In most cases, workers are motivated to work harder and produce more when they receive higher wages or salaries. When workers are paid well, they are more likely to be satisfied with their job, and they may also feel valued and appreciated by their employers. This can lead to increased productivity and better quality of output, which can ultimately benefit both the workers and the business. On the other hand, if workers are not paid enough, they may be less motivated to work hard and may even seek employment elsewhere. This can lead to decreased productivity, lower quality output, and higher turnover rates, which can ultimately harm the business. In summary, remuneration is an important motivator for labour in the production process, as it can influence workers' levels of productivity and job satisfaction.

comparative advantage Correct answer

Answer Details

The basis for international trade is embedded in the principle of comparative advantage. This principle states that countries should specialize in producing the goods and services they can produce most efficiently and trade with other countries for the things they can't produce as efficiently. For example, imagine that there are two countries, Country A and Country B, and both can produce two goods: apples and bananas. Country A can produce 100 apples or 80 bananas in a day, while Country B can produce 80 apples or 100 bananas in a day. According to the principle of comparative advantage, Country A should specialize in producing apples, and Country B should specialize in producing bananas, and then trade with each other. This way, both countries can benefit from having more of both goods than if each tried to produce both on their own. In a nutshell, comparative advantage is the idea that countries can benefit from trade by specializing in what they are best at and trading with others for the things they are not as good at producing.

Question 48 Report

The promotion of team spirit in an organization is referred to as

unity of direction

espirit de corps Correct answer

unity of purpose

discipline

Answer Details

The promotion of team spirit in an organization is referred to as "esprit de corps." This is a French term that translates to "spirit of the body," and it refers to a sense of camaraderie and loyalty among members of a group or organization. Esprit de corps is important in promoting teamwork, collaboration, and a shared sense of purpose within an organization. When employees feel a strong sense of camaraderie and loyalty to their colleagues and the organization as a whole, they are more likely to work together effectively and contribute to the success of the organization. Unity of direction and unity of purpose are related concepts that also promote collaboration and teamwork within an organization. Unity of direction refers to the idea that all members of the organization should be working towards the same goals, while unity of purpose refers to the shared sense of mission or vision that drives the organization. Discipline, while important for maintaining order and productivity in an organization, is not directly related to promoting team spirit or esprit de corps. In summary, the promotion of team spirit in an organization is referred to as esprit de corps, and it involves fostering a sense of camaraderie and loyalty among members of the organization. This promotes collaboration, teamwork, and a shared sense of purpose that contributes to the success of the organization.

Question 49 Report

One of the major benefits of commerce to government is to

improve the standard of living

generate revenue for growth and development Correct answer

encourage cooperation among public organisations

encourage the development of socio-cultural values

Answer Details

One of the major benefits of commerce to government is to generate revenue for growth and development. Commerce involves buying and selling goods and services, which generates income for businesses and individuals. The government can also benefit from this economic activity by collecting taxes on the goods and services that are sold. These tax revenues can then be used to fund public services and infrastructure projects that contribute to economic growth and development. For example, the government may use tax revenues to build roads, bridges, and schools, or to provide healthcare and social services to citizens. By generating revenue in this way, commerce can help to support the overall well-being of a society and promote long-term prosperity.
