Détails de la réponse
When a company raises additional capital by selling shares directly to the public through insurance companies or investment houses, this is known as "private placing". Private placing is a method used by companies to raise additional capital by selling shares to a small group of investors or institutions. These investors may include insurance companies, investment houses, or other institutional investors. The shares are not offered to the general public and are instead sold privately. Private placing allows companies to raise capital quickly and efficiently without the need for a public offering. It is often used by companies that do not meet the requirements for listing on a stock exchange or that do not want to go through the expense and regulatory requirements of a public offering. In contrast, a rights issue is an offering of additional shares to existing shareholders, a bonus issue is a distribution of free shares to existing shareholders, a debenture issue is a type of bond offering, and a preference share issue is an offering of shares that pay a fixed dividend but have no voting rights. While these options may be related to raising capital, they do not specifically refer to the method of selling shares directly to the public through insurance companies or investment houses.

Détails de la réponse
A company which acquires more than 50% of the voting shares of another company is called a "holding company". This means that the holding company has control over the subsidiary company because it has the majority of the voting shares.

Détails de la réponse
The cost of goods sold is the amount a company spent on producing or purchasing the goods sold during a trading period. The average stock held is the average value of the inventory held by the company during the trading period. Dividing the cost of goods sold by the average stock held during the trading period gives the rate of stock turnover. This ratio helps in determining how quickly a company sells its inventory and restocks its shelves. A high rate of stock turnover indicates that the company is efficiently selling its inventory, while a low rate suggests the opposite.
Question 6 Rapport
Which of the following is the clearing house for all the banks in the country?
Détails de la réponse
The clearing house for all the banks in the country is "The Central Bank of Nigeria". The Central Bank of Nigeria is the apex bank in Nigeria and serves as the regulator of the Nigerian banking system. One of its key functions is to act as the clearing house for all banks in the country. This means that it facilitates the settlement of financial transactions between banks by clearing and transferring funds between them. When a customer makes a payment to another customer of a different bank, the payment is usually processed through the central bank's clearing system. The central bank verifies the transaction details and facilitates the transfer of funds between the banks involved in the transaction. This ensures that the transaction is settled quickly and efficiently. While the other options listed may be banks or financial institutions in Nigeria, none of them serve as the clearing house for all banks in the country.

Détails de la réponse
An agent who takes possession of goods and sells in his own name but does not guarantee payment is known as a "factor." In other words, a factor acts as an intermediary between the seller and the buyer, taking possession of the goods and selling them on behalf of the seller. However, unlike a del credere agent, a factor does not guarantee payment from the buyer. Instead, the factor assumes no responsibility for the buyer's payment and simply receives a commission for selling the goods on behalf of the seller. Factors are commonly used in the textile, agriculture, and manufacturing industries.

Question 12 Rapport
Ali Plc with issued capital of #500,000 in #1.00 shares has for now requested shareholders to pay only 50k for each #1.00 share. The amount requested from the shareholders by the company is called?
Détails de la réponse
The amount requested from the shareholders by the company is called the "called-up capital." In this scenario, Ali Plc has an issued capital of #500,000 in #1.00 shares but has requested shareholders to pay only 50k for each #1.00 share. This means that the total amount the company has called for is #250,000 (50k x 500,000 shares). The called-up capital is the amount of money that a company has requested its shareholders to pay for the shares they have subscribed to, but they may not have paid the entire amount yet. Once the shareholders pay the called-up capital, it becomes "paid-up capital."

Which of the following makes it possible for people to collect their letters at their convenient time ?
Détails de la réponse
The Post Office Box makes it possible for people to collect their letters at their convenient time. A Post Office Box (PO Box) is a locked mailbox that individuals or businesses can rent from their local post office. It provides a secure and convenient way for people to receive mail, as they can collect their letters at any time that is convenient for them. With a PO Box, individuals or businesses are assigned a unique address, usually located within the post office or nearby. The post office staff will place any mail addressed to the PO Box into the assigned mailbox. This means that individuals do not have to wait for a postal carrier to deliver their mail to their physical address, and they can avoid the risk of mail being stolen or lost. Other options listed do not necessarily offer the same level of flexibility or convenience as a PO Box. For example, franking is a way of pre-paying postage costs, while recorded delivery is a service that provides proof of delivery but does not necessarily offer flexibility in terms of when mail is received. Business Reply Service is a service that allows businesses to receive mail from customers without requiring the customer to pay for postage. Telex service is an outdated communication method that was used to send and receive written messages over a network of teleprinters.
Question 15 Rapport
Which of the following is the basic principle of marketing concept?
Détails de la réponse
The basic principle of marketing concept is that it is consumer-oriented. This means that a company should focus on identifying and satisfying the needs and wants of its customers in order to achieve success in the marketplace. This approach involves understanding the needs of customers, developing products or services that meet those needs, pricing them appropriately, promoting them effectively, and distributing them efficiently. The goal is to create long-term relationships with customers by delivering superior value and satisfaction. In contrast to seller-oriented, producer-oriented, or product-oriented approaches, which prioritize the interests of the company or the product itself, the marketing concept puts the customer at the center of all marketing activities.

Détails de la réponse
Self-service, mail order, and automatic vending are examples of selling techniques. Selling techniques refer to the various methods used by businesses to promote their products or services and persuade customers to buy them. Self-service refers to a selling technique in which the customer selects and purchases goods without the assistance of a salesperson. Mail order involves selling products through catalogs or advertisements that customers can order by mail. Automatic vending is a selling technique in which goods are sold through machines that dispense them when money is inserted. In summary, these techniques do not involve personal interaction between a salesperson and the customer, but instead rely on other methods to make sales.

Question 19 Rapport
Which of the following is not true of branding?
Détails de la réponse
The statement that is not true of branding is "Encourages pilfering." Branding is a marketing strategy used to create a unique name, symbol, or design that identifies and differentiates a company's products or services from its competitors. It facilitates the identification of goods, making it easier for customers to recognize and select products they want to buy. This leads to increased sales and deeper loyalty, as customers are more likely to stick with brands they know and trust. Branding also makes market segmentation easier, as companies can target specific groups of customers with different brands and product lines. However, branding does not encourage pilfering or theft. In fact, effective branding can help to discourage theft, as it makes it easier to identify stolen goods and prosecute thieves. Finally, branding facilitates advertising, as it provides a consistent message and image that can be used in promotional campaigns across different media platforms.
Question 20 Rapport

Détails de la réponse
Commerce developed as a result of specialization. Specialization means that individuals or groups focus on producing certain goods or services, rather than trying to produce everything they need on their own. When people specialize, they become more efficient at what they do, which leads to increased productivity and output. This increased productivity creates a surplus of goods that can be traded with others. The exchange of goods and services between individuals or groups is known as commerce. As specialization increases and trade becomes more frequent, competition and speculation may arise, which further fuel the development of commerce. Importation and exportation are also important components of commerce, as they allow goods and services to be traded across borders, expanding markets and opportunities for trade.
Question 21 Rapport
Which of the following is issued to the exporter or his agent when the goods has been loaded in the ship?

The document that is issued to the exporter or his agent when the goods have been loaded on the ship is called a "Mate's receipt". It is a document signed by the ship's officer (the "mate") acknowledging that the goods have been received on board the ship. The mate's receipt is a provisional document and is often used as proof of shipment to obtain payment from the importer's bank or to obtain insurance coverage for the shipment. The mate's receipt is usually surrendered to the shipping company in exchange for the Bill of Lading, which is a document of title to the goods.
Question 22 Rapport
Which of the following is not a function of merchant banks?
Détails de la réponse
The function that is not performed by merchant banks is "Printing new bank notes." Merchant banks are financial institutions that offer a range of services to clients, such as underwriting securities, advising corporate institutions, and providing long-term loans. Underwriting securities involves assuming the risk of selling new securities issued by corporate institutions, such as stocks and bonds, to investors. Merchant banks also advise corporate institutions on matters such as mergers and acquisitions, capital structure, and financial strategy. They also provide long-term loans to clients for various purposes such as expansion, modernization, and acquisition. Discounting bills is another function performed by merchant banks. Discounting bills involves purchasing short-term bills of exchange from clients at a discount and then holding them until maturity. When the bills mature, the merchant bank collects the full amount due from the debtor. However, printing new bank notes is not a function of merchant banks. This function is typically performed by central banks, which are responsible for issuing and regulating the supply of currency in circulation. The central bank is responsible for ensuring the stability of the currency and managing the money supply to maintain a healthy economy.

Détails de la réponse
When a bill of exchange is signed by a debtor, it is said to be "accepted". A bill of exchange is a negotiable instrument that is used in international trade to provide a secure method of payment. The bill is a written order from one party (the creditor) to another party (the debtor) to pay a specified amount of money on a specific date. When the debtor signs the bill of exchange, indicating their agreement to pay the amount specified, the bill is said to be "accepted". This acceptance creates a legally binding obligation on the part of the debtor to pay the creditor at the specified time. Once the bill has been accepted, it can be bought and sold by third parties through a process called "negotiation". The creditor may choose to negotiate the bill to a bank or other financial institution, which will pay the creditor the face value of the bill less a discount, and then seek to recover the full amount from the debtor at the specified time. Overall, acceptance of a bill of exchange is an important step in the process of international trade as it provides a measure of security and confidence for both the creditor and debtor.
Question 25 Rapport
The total assets of Ogo Plc is #16,000 and the liabilities included loan #2,000, creditors #1,000 and electricity bill #2,000. Calculate the capital owned by the company?
Détails de la réponse
To calculate the capital owned by the company, we need to use the accounting equation which states that: Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity (Capital) Given that the total assets of Ogo Plc is #16,000 and the liabilities are #2,000 (loan) + #1,000 (creditors) + #2,000 (electricity bill) = #5,000 Substituting the values into the accounting equation, we have: #16,000 = #5,000 + Owner's Equity (Capital) Rearranging the equation, we have: Owner's Equity (Capital) = #16,000 - #5,000 = #11,000 Therefore, the capital owned by the company is #11,000. The answer is.

Assets of a business that cannot easily be changed into cash are known as fixed capital. Fixed capital includes assets such as land, buildings, machinery, and equipment, which are used in the production process and have a long-term use. These assets are considered long-term investments and are not intended to be sold or converted into cash in the short term. In contrast, floating capital or working capital refers to the current assets of a business that can be converted into cash within a short period of time, such as inventory, accounts receivable, and cash in hand. Paid-up capital is the amount of capital that has been paid by shareholders in exchange for shares in the company, and current capital is not a commonly used term in accounting or finance.
Question 27 Rapport
Which of the following is a function of advertising?
Détails de la réponse
One of the functions of advertising is the "stimulation of demand". Advertising is used to create awareness and interest in a product or service, with the aim of encouraging people to buy it. Advertising can help to stimulate demand in a number of ways. For example, it can highlight the benefits of a product or service, create a sense of urgency to buy, or appeal to consumers' emotions or desires. By doing so, advertising can help to increase sales and revenue for a business. Stimulating demand is particularly important in competitive markets, where businesses are competing for the attention and spending power of consumers. Effective advertising can help a business stand out from its competitors and encourage consumers to choose its products or services over others. Overall, advertising plays an important role in creating and sustaining demand for goods and services, which is essential for the growth and success of businesses.
Question 28 Rapport

Détails de la réponse
A design which distinguishes the goods of one producer from those of others is called a "trade mark". A trade mark is a unique symbol, design, or word that is used to identify and distinguish the goods or services of one business from those of another. For example, the Nike "swoosh" symbol is a trade mark that distinguishes Nike's products from those of other sportswear brands. The trade mark helps consumers identify and choose Nike products over competitors' products. Trade marks are important for businesses because they help to build brand recognition and loyalty. They also protect businesses from other companies using their brand to sell similar products or services, which could result in consumer confusion or damage to the business's reputation. In order to protect their trade mark, businesses can register it with the appropriate government agency, such as the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This gives the business exclusive rights to use the trade mark in commerce and allows them to take legal action against any other businesses that infringe on their trade mark rights.

Question 31 Rapport
Which of the following is not a means by which banks facilitate foreign trade?
Détails de la réponse
The option that is not a means by which banks facilitate foreign trade is "Open market operations". Banks facilitate foreign trade by providing various services to importers and exporters, such as currency exchange, letter of credit, discounting bills of exchange, and trade reference. These services help to mitigate the risks associated with international trade and ensure that transactions between parties are carried out smoothly. However, "Open market operations" are a monetary policy tool used by central banks to regulate the money supply and interest rates in the economy. It involves buying and selling government securities in the open market, which affects the amount of money banks have available to lend and therefore the cost of borrowing for consumers and businesses. While this can have an indirect impact on international trade, it is not a service provided by banks to facilitate foreign trade directly.

A debenture is a long-term debt instrument issued by companies and government entities to raise funds from the public. One of the characteristics of a debenture is that it yields a fixed rate of interest. This means that the issuer of the debenture promises to pay a fixed amount of interest periodically (such as annually or semi-annually) to the debenture holder until the maturity of the debenture. Unlike equity shares, debentures do not give the holder a voting right in the company's management. Additionally, debentures may have a redemption date, which is the date on which the issuer must repay the principal amount of the debenture to the holder. The holder of a debenture bears less risk than shareholders since they have a priority claim on the company's assets in the event of liquidation.
Question 39 Rapport

Détails de la réponse
The payment made to the insured for loss incurred is called "indemnity." Indemnity refers to the compensation that an insurance company pays to the policyholder when they experience a loss or damage covered by their insurance policy. For example, if a person's car is damaged in an accident and they have car insurance, the insurance company will pay for the repairs or replacement of the car up to the policy limit. The purpose of indemnity is to restore the insured to the same financial position they were in before the loss occurred. Indemnity payments can help individuals and businesses avoid financial hardship due to unexpected events or disasters that may otherwise be too costly to cover on their own. Premium, on the other hand, is the amount paid by the policyholder to the insurance company for the coverage provided by the insurance policy. Ex gratia payment is a payment made by the insurance company out of goodwill, and not necessarily because it is legally required. Surrender value refers to the amount that the policyholder can receive if they terminate their insurance policy before the end of the term. Interest refers to the additional amount that the policyholder may earn on their insurance policy over time.

Détails de la réponse
The insurance principle which expects the insured and the insurer to disclose all facts about a proposed contract is called uberrimae fidei. Uberrimae fidei is a Latin phrase that means "utmost good faith." It is a fundamental principle in insurance that requires both the insured and the insurer to disclose all material facts about the proposed insurance contract. Material facts are facts that would influence the judgment of a prudent insurer in deciding whether to accept or decline the risk, and if so, what premium to charge. The principle of uberrimae fidei applies to all types of insurance contracts and is essential to the functioning of the insurance industry. It ensures that insurers have complete and accurate information about the risks they are undertaking, enabling them to assess the risk and set appropriate premiums. At the same time, it ensures that the insured understands the terms and conditions of the policy and can make an informed decision about whether to accept the risk. Therefore, the insurance principle that expects the insured and the insurer to disclose all facts about a proposed contract is called uberrimae fidei, which means utmost good faith.

Which of the following is used in home trade?
Détails de la réponse
Out of the options given, the bank draft is commonly used in home trade. Home trade refers to the buying and selling of goods and services within the boundaries of a country. It involves transactions between individuals or companies located within the same country. In such transactions, a bank draft is a commonly used payment instrument. A bank draft is a payment order issued by a bank on behalf of its customer, instructing another bank to pay a specified sum of money to a third party. It is a secure and convenient payment method for home trade transactions, as it eliminates the risk of carrying large sums of cash and provides a guarantee of payment to the seller. Other payment instruments, such as a bill of lading or a certificate of origin, may be used in international trade to facilitate the shipment of goods across borders. A letter of credit and a documentary credit are also payment instruments commonly used in international trade to ensure that the seller is paid for the goods or services they provide.

Détails de la réponse
When a Public Limited Company is incorporated, it means that it has a legal existence. This means that the company is recognized as a separate legal entity from its owners. The company can enter into contracts, own property, sue and be sued in its name, and incur debts. Incorporation also means that the company has to issue a statutory declaration, which is a legal document that states that all the legal requirements for incorporation have been met. This includes the appointment of directors, the issuance of shares, and the payment of registration fees. Incorporation does not necessarily mean that the company is entitled to commence business immediately or that it has been given a certificate of trading. These are separate requirements that need to be met before the company can begin trading. The shares of a Public Limited Company can be transferred, so this is not a factor that determines whether or not a company has been incorporated.
Question 55 Rapport
The Stock Exchange does not deal in
Détails de la réponse
The Stock Exchange does not deal in treasury bills. Treasury bills are short-term debt securities issued by governments to raise funds from the public. They are usually issued for a period of less than one year and are considered to be very safe investments as they are backed by the government. However, they are not traded on the stock exchange. On the other hand, shares, debentures, stocks, and bonds are all securities that are traded on the stock exchange. A share represents ownership in a company, while a debenture represents a loan that a company has taken out. Stocks and bonds are similar to shares and debentures, respectively, but they may be issued by governments or other organizations. In summary, the stock exchange deals in various securities, including shares, debentures, stocks, and bonds, but not treasury bills.
Question 56 Rapport
Who among the following comes first in the channel of distribution?
Détails de la réponse
The manufacturer comes first in the channel of distribution. The manufacturer is the one who produces the goods and is responsible for their quality and quantity. Once the goods are produced, they are sent to the wholesaler or consignor, who then sells the products to the retailer. The retailer then sells the products to the end consumer. So, the manufacturer is at the beginning of the chain, as they are responsible for creating the product and setting it up for distribution. Without the manufacturer, there would be no product to distribute in the first place.

Détails de la réponse
If Ade issues a Union Bank cheque to Chukwu, the Union Bank is the drawee. In cheque transactions, the drawee is the bank on which the cheque is drawn. The drawer is the person who writes and signs the cheque (in this case, Ade). The payee is the person to whom the cheque is payable (in this case, Chukwu). When Chukwu presents the cheque for payment at the Union Bank, the bank will verify if Ade has sufficient funds in his account to cover the cheque amount. If Ade has sufficient funds, the Union Bank will pay the cheque amount to Chukwu. If Ade does not have sufficient funds, the cheque will be dishonored and the Union Bank will not pay the cheque amount to Chukwu. Therefore, in this scenario, the Union Bank is the drawee, because it is the bank on which the cheque is drawn and where Chukwu will present the cheque for payment.
Question 59 Rapport

Détails de la réponse
The rebate given to the retailer by the wholesaler to enable him make profit is known as a trade discount. A trade discount is a reduction in the listed price of a product or service that is given by a supplier to a customer for meeting certain conditions, such as purchasing a certain quantity of the product or agreeing to pay within a certain period of time. Trade discounts are usually given to retailers or wholesalers who buy in bulk, and are used to incentivize them to purchase more from the supplier. This discount is not shown on the invoice and is usually calculated on the net amount after deducting all other discounts. The trade discount helps the retailer or wholesaler to increase their profit margins and remain competitive in the market.

Détails de la réponse
Span of control refers to the number of subordinates or employees that a supervisor or manager can effectively manage or control. It is the number of employees who report directly to a supervisor or manager. A narrow span of control means that a supervisor or manager has fewer subordinates to manage, while a wider span of control means that a supervisor or manager has more subordinates to manage. The span of control can be affected by various factors such as the complexity of the task, the level of experience of the supervisor, the level of training and skills of the subordinates, and the type of organization structure. A supervisor or manager with a wide span of control can delegate authority more effectively, while a supervisor or manager with a narrow span of control can provide more direct supervision and guidance to their subordinates.

Which of the following government legislation is not aimed at consumer protection?
Détails de la réponse
The taxation law is not aimed at consumer protection. Taxation laws determine how much individuals and businesses have to pay in taxes to the government. They do not aim to protect consumers directly. While taxation policies may indirectly affect consumers, their primary goal is to generate revenue for the government. On the other hand, the Sales of Goods Act, Food and Drugs Act, Standards Organization Act, and Price Control Act are all government legislation aimed at protecting consumers. The Sales of Goods Act establishes rules and regulations for the sale of goods, ensuring that consumers receive products that are safe, of satisfactory quality, and fit for purpose. The Food and Drugs Act sets standards for the production, labeling, and distribution of food and drugs to protect consumers from harm. The Standards Organization Act establishes standards for products, services, and systems to protect consumers from substandard products and services. The Price Control Act regulates the prices of goods and services to prevent businesses from charging excessively high prices and to ensure that consumers have access to affordable products and services.

If goods invoiced at #1,500 were sold to Etim at less 15% trade discount, he would pay: Discount = 15% of #1,500 = (#15/100) x #1,500 = #225 Selling price = #1,500 - #225 = #1,275 Therefore, the correct answer is #1,275.00.
Question 67 Rapport
The document which gives the current price and terms of trade of a product is called?
Détails de la réponse
The document which gives the current price and terms of trade of a product is called an invoice. An invoice is a document issued by a seller to a buyer that specifies the goods or services provided, the quantity, and the price for each item. It also outlines the terms of payment, including the due date and any applicable discounts or late fees. In other words, an invoice is a detailed record of a transaction between a seller and a buyer. The price and terms of trade of a product can vary depending on factors such as supply and demand, market conditions, and negotiations between the buyer and seller. The invoice reflects the final agreed-upon terms between the two parties and serves as a legal document that can be used for accounting and tax purposes. Overall, an invoice is an important document in any commercial transaction as it ensures that both the buyer and seller are on the same page in terms of the price and terms of trade of a product or service.
Question 68 Rapport
The difference between the total amount owed to a country and the total amount owed by it is
Détails de la réponse
The correct answer is "balance of payments." The balance of payments refers to the difference between the total amount of money a country receives from other countries (exports, foreign aid, investments, etc.) and the total amount of money it pays out to other countries (imports, foreign debt, etc.). If a country receives more money from other countries than it pays out, it is said to have a "trade surplus." If it pays out more than it receives, it has a "trade deficit" or "trade gap." However, the balance of payments includes not just trade, but all transactions between a country and other countries, including investment flows, foreign aid, and other financial transfers. Therefore, the difference between the total amount owed to a country and the total amount owed by it is known as the "balance of payments."
Question 69 Rapport
Which of the following is usually sent to prospective buyer when the seller expects payment of the goods dispatched?
Détails de la réponse
When a seller dispatches goods to a buyer and expects payment in return, they usually send a pro-forma invoice. A pro-forma invoice is a document that outlines the details of the goods being sold, including the price, quantity, and any other relevant information, such as taxes or shipping costs. It is sent to the buyer before the goods are shipped as a way to confirm the order and give the buyer an idea of the total cost. Once the buyer has received the goods, the seller may also send a delivery note or advice note, which confirms that the goods have been delivered and may include information such as the date of delivery and the quantity of goods received. However, these documents are not typically used to request payment from the buyer. A statement of account is a document that shows all of the transactions between the buyer and seller over a certain period of time. It is usually sent on a regular basis (such as monthly) and shows the balance due from the buyer, including any outstanding invoices. A consignment note is a document used when goods are transported by a third-party carrier (such as a shipping company) and provides details of the goods being transported, the destination, and any other relevant information. However, it is not typically used to request payment from the buyer. Therefore, the most appropriate document to be sent to a prospective buyer when the seller expects payment of the goods dispatched is a pro-forma invoice.

An association that mobilizes the savings of members and channels them to needy members is called a "Thrift and Credit Co-operative." A thrift and credit cooperative is a type of cooperative organization that pools the savings of its members and provides credit facilities to members in need. Members of the cooperative contribute their savings into a common pool, and the cooperative uses this pool of funds to provide loans to members for various purposes such as starting a business, purchasing a home, or meeting emergency expenses. Members can also borrow money at a lower interest rate than they would be able to obtain from other sources, such as banks or money lenders. The thrift and credit cooperative is a type of financial intermediary that serves the financial needs of its members. In addition to providing credit facilities, the cooperative may also offer other financial services, such as savings accounts, insurance, and investment opportunities. Overall, the goal of a thrift and credit cooperative is to promote financial inclusion and provide a source of affordable credit for its members.

They are commonly used in professions such as law, medicine, and accounting.
Question 72 Rapport
Which of the following is a disadvantage of credit transaction?
Détails de la réponse
A disadvantage of credit transaction is that it encourages bad debt. Credit transactions involve buying goods or services on credit, which means that the buyer does not have to make immediate payment for the goods or services. Instead, they are given a period of time to pay off the debt. While this can be convenient for consumers, it can also lead to bad debt if the buyer is unable to repay the debt on time. Bad debt is a debt that is unlikely to be repaid and can lead to financial losses for the creditor. In contrast, credit transactions can have advantages such as increasing turnover, facilitating the sale of durable goods, and enabling consumers to enjoy goods without immediate payment. However, the risk of bad debt is a significant disadvantage of credit transactions that creditors need to manage carefully to avoid financial losses.

Détails de la réponse
The feature of reinsurance is the transfer of a portion of risk from one insurance company to another. Reinsurance allows an insurance company to transfer some of the risk it has assumed from its policyholders to another company. This helps the insurance company to reduce its exposure to large or catastrophic losses, and to maintain its financial stability. In exchange for accepting some of the risk, the reinsurer charges a premium to the insurer. Reinsurance helps to spread risk among multiple companies, which can help to stabilize the insurance industry as a whole.

Détails de la réponse
When an assured is unable to honor his obligation in an insurance contract, thereby terminating it before maturity, he could only receive the surrender value. The surrender value is the amount of money that the policyholder will receive if they choose to surrender the policy before its maturity date. It is the amount that the insurance company will pay to the policyholder after deducting any outstanding premiums, fees, and other expenses. When the assured terminates the insurance contract before its maturity date, they forfeit the right to receive the sum insured, which is the full amount of money that the insurance company would have paid if the policy had remained in force until its maturity date. Instead, the assured receives the surrender value, which is usually lower than the sum insured, as it takes into account the time value of money and other factors. Therefore, if the assured is unable to honor their obligation in an insurance contract and decides to terminate it before maturity, they can only receive the surrender value of the policy.

Détails de la réponse
The compensation given to brokers who sell shares to jobbers is called "commission". When investors want to buy or sell shares in the stock market, they usually use a broker to help them execute the transaction. Jobbers are market makers who specialize in buying and selling large volumes of shares for their own account. Brokers can earn money by charging their clients a commission for their services. When a broker sells shares to a jobber, they earn a commission based on the value of the transaction. This commission is their compensation for facilitating the transaction. Premium refers to an additional amount paid on top of the normal price, salary refers to a fixed payment made to an employee, interest refers to the cost of borrowing money, and dividend refers to a payment made by a company to its shareholders as a share of its profits. While these terms may be related to finance and investments, they do not specifically refer to the compensation given to brokers who sell shares to jobbers.

Question 80 Rapport
Which of the following is a disadvantage of air transport?
Détails de la réponse
A disadvantage of air transport is its high cost. Air transport is generally the most expensive mode of transportation due to its high operating costs. This is because airlines require specialized equipment, such as airplanes and airports, and have high maintenance and fuel costs. Air transport also involves additional costs, such as security measures and air traffic control fees. These costs are ultimately passed on to the consumer in the form of higher ticket prices or shipping fees. Therefore, while air transport is a fast and efficient mode of transportation, it may not be the best option for businesses or individuals with limited budgets. They may choose alternative modes of transportation, such as sea or land transport, which may take longer but are generally more cost-effective.

Détails de la réponse
"Advertising" is not considered when siting a retail shop. When siting a retail shop, several factors are taken into consideration to ensure the success of the business. One of the critical factors is the "Target population." The retail shop must be located in an area where the target population is located. This ensures that the shop is easily accessible to potential customers, and the products or services offered are relevant to their needs. "Rent" is another factor that is considered when siting a retail shop. The rent for the shop should be affordable, and the business must be able to generate enough revenue to cover the rent and other expenses. The "Accessibility" of the location is also crucial. The shop should be located in an area that is easily accessible by potential customers. This means that the shop should be located near a main road or transportation hub, and there should be ample parking space for customers. "Proximity to source of supply" is another factor that is considered when siting a retail shop. The shop should be located close to the source of supply to ensure that the business can easily restock its inventory when necessary. Overall, the success of a retail shop depends on selecting the right location. The location should be easily accessible to potential customers, affordable, and located in an area with a target population that is relevant to the products or services offered.

Which of the following is not a source of capital to a partnership?
Détails de la réponse
The source of capital that is not available to a partnership is "Shares." Shares are a type of security that represents ownership in a company, and they are typically issued by corporations. Partnerships are a form of business organization in which two or more individuals own and operate the business together. Since partnerships are not considered separate legal entities, they cannot issue shares of stock to raise capital like a corporation. Partnerships have other sources of capital available to them, such as personal savings, borrowing, buying on credit, and ploughing back profits. Personal savings refer to the money partners invest in the business from their personal funds. Borrowing involves obtaining loans from financial institutions or other sources. Buying on credit refers to the practice of purchasing goods or services on credit from suppliers. Ploughing back profits means reinvesting profits earned by the partnership back into the business to help it grow. Overall, partnerships can raise capital through a variety of sources, except for issuing shares of stock as they are not considered separate legal entities like corporations.

To calculate the working capital of the XY company, we need to subtract the current liabilities from the current assets. Current assets include stock and cash, which have a total value of #2,000 + #1,500 = #3,500. Current liabilities include creditors and bank overdraft, which have a total value of #1,000 + #1,400 = #2,400. Therefore, the working capital of the XY company is: Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities Working capital = #3,500 - #2,400 Working capital = #1,100 Hence, the answer is #1,100.

A restriction on the quantity of a commodity that could be imported is known as a quota. It is a type of trade barrier that limits the amount of a specific product that can be imported into a country within a specific period.

For example, a country may limit the amount of foreign rice that can be imported into the country in a given year. This limit on the quantity of rice that can be imported is a quota. A quota differs from a ban, which completely prohibits the importation of a product into a country, and from a tariff, which is a tax imposed on imported goods.
