The del credere agent bears the risk of the buyer's non-payment, thereby ensuring that the seller receives the full amount due for the goods sold.

Detalles de la respuesta
Small scale retail attracts a lot of new entrepreneurs in West Africa because only a small amount of capital is needed to start the business. This means that people who do not have a lot of money to invest can still become business owners. Additionally, it is easy to succeed with the business because there is a high demand for goods and services in West Africa, and people prefer to buy from small, local retailers who they trust. While good training in retail trade can be helpful, it is not the main reason why small scale retail is attractive to new entrepreneurs. Banks may be willing to lend to retailers, but this is not always the case, and access to loans may be limited. Government tax exemptions for retailers are also not a significant factor in the decision to start a small scale retail business.

Which of the following is has a fixed rate of dividend?
Detalles de la respuesta
Preference share has a fixed rate of dividend. A preference share is a type of share that gives its holders priority over ordinary shareholders in terms of dividend payments and asset distribution. This means that preference shareholders are entitled to receive a fixed rate of dividend before any dividend is paid to ordinary shareholders. The fixed rate of dividend is usually expressed as a percentage of the face value of the preference share, and it remains the same throughout the life of the share. This means that the preference shareholder can expect to receive a regular income from their investment, regardless of how the company is performing. In contrast, ordinary shares do not have a fixed rate of dividend. The dividend paid on ordinary shares is determined by the company's profitability and is subject to change from year to year. Ordinary shareholders also have voting rights and are entitled to share in the company's profits and assets after preference shareholders have been paid. In summary, preference shares have a fixed rate of dividend, while ordinary shares do not. Preference shareholders receive a regular income from their investment, regardless of how the company is performing, while ordinary shareholders share in the company's profits and assets after preference shareholders have been paid.

i. Bill of lading ii. Specific Licenses iii.Foreign exchange rationing iv. Letters of credit v.Customs duties and tariffs
Detalles de la respuesta
The options that may be used to restrict imports are ii, iii and v only, which are specific licenses, foreign exchange rationing, and customs duties and tariffs. Specific licenses are a type of permit that must be obtained before certain goods can be imported into a country. This allows the government to limit the quantity of a particular product that can be imported. Foreign exchange rationing involves limiting the amount of foreign currency that is available for individuals and businesses to use in transactions. This can make it more difficult and expensive to import goods from other countries. Customs duties and tariffs are taxes that are placed on imported goods, making them more expensive and less competitive with domestically-produced goods. This can help to protect domestic industries and limit the volume of imports. Bill of lading is a document that serves as a receipt of goods shipped, while letters of credit are financial instruments that help to facilitate international trade. They do not have a direct role in restricting imports.

Detalles de la respuesta
One of the demerits of sole trading is unlimited liability. This means that the owner of the business is personally liable for all the debts and losses incurred by the business. This implies that the owner's personal assets may be used to settle the debts of the business. In other words, if the business is sued, the owner's personal savings, car, house, and other assets may be seized to pay off the debts. This is different from other forms of business ownership, such as corporations, where the owners are only liable for the amount they have invested in the business. Therefore, unlimited liability makes sole trading a risky venture, and this is one of its major demerits.
