Maelezo ya Majibu

The major determinant of fire insurance premium is the type and structure of the property to be insured. This means that the premium amount an individual pays for their fire insurance will depend largely on the type and structure of the building they are insuring. For example, a multi-story commercial building will typically have a higher premium than a single-family home because it is considered a higher risk due to its size and the potential for greater fire damage. Other factors, such as the location of the property, its age and condition, and the materials used in its construction, may also be considered when determining the premium amount.

Therefore, if you want to ensure that the products you are buying in Nigeria meet the government quality specifications, you should look for the SON certification mark on the product or packaging.

Maelezo ya Majibu

The authorized capital of a company refers to the maximum number of shares that the company is authorized to issue. In this case, the company has an authorized capital of 100 million shares at a price of N1 per share. Out of this authorized capital, 50 million shares have been issued and fully paid-up. This means that the company has already sold and received payment for these 50 million shares. The remaining 50 million shares have not yet been issued, which means that the company has not yet offered them for sale to the public. These shares are still available for the company to issue in the future, subject to any regulatory requirements. Therefore, the correct answer is: "Not yet been issued".

Maelezo ya Majibu

The bond which attracts interest but leaves the capital repaid is referred to as an "irredeemable bond". An irredeemable bond is also known as a perpetual bond because it has no maturity date and the issuer is not required to repay the principal amount to the bondholders. Instead, the issuer pays regular interest payments to the bondholders until the bond is redeemed, which typically occurs only when the issuer decides to buy back the bond. This type of bond is different from a redeemable bond, which has a maturity date when the issuer is required to repay the principal amount to the bondholders. Redeemable bonds are more common than irredeemable bonds. An irredeemable bond is also different from a development bond or a long-term loan. A development bond is a type of bond issued by a government or international organization to finance development projects, while a long-term loan is a type of loan with a repayment period of more than one year.

Maelezo ya Majibu

A direct service is a service that is provided directly to a person or group of people without any intermediaries involved. Out of the four options given, the one that best fits this definition is a family doctor. A family doctor provides medical care directly to their patients, without any intermediaries or middlemen involved. They diagnose illnesses, prescribe treatments, and offer medical advice, all through direct interaction with their patients. State counsels and civil servants provide services to the public, but these services are often mediated through a bureaucratic system, which can involve multiple steps and intermediaries. For example, if you need a document from a government office, you may have to go through several levels of bureaucracy before you can obtain it. Police officers also provide a service to the public, but their work involves a level of mediation. They are responsible for enforcing the law and maintaining public safety, but they do so by patrolling the streets, responding to emergency calls, and conducting investigations. They do not provide direct services in the same way that a family doctor does. In summary, a direct service is one that is provided directly to a person or group of people without any intermediaries involved, and a family doctor best fits this definition out of the four options given.

The invoice specifies the terms of the transaction, such as the due date for payment, the amount owed, and the method of payment.

Communication enhances business activities by?

Maelezo ya Majibu

Communication enhances business activities by facilitating interaction between producers and consumers. Communication allows producers and consumers to exchange information and ideas, which helps them understand each other's needs and preferences. This information exchange helps producers to tailor their products and services to meet the needs of consumers, leading to increased satisfaction and loyalty. Communication also allows for effective negotiation and problem-solving, as well as the development of strong business relationships. By facilitating interaction between producers and consumers, communication plays a crucial role in the success of any business. It is important to note that the other options listed, such as facilitating interaction among media houses, ensuring the movement of goods from the producer to the consumer, and keeping the goods safe until they are needed, are also important for business success. However, communication between producers and consumers is a key aspect of business activities that directly impacts the success of a business by improving the exchange of information and ideas.

If Mr A takes a fire insurance policy with average clause, his compensation will be

Maelezo ya Majibu

Since the policy is with average clause the formula used in calculating his compensation is

$\frac{\text{Amount insured x total actual loss}}{\text{Total actual value of property}}$

By this formula the compensation will be

Amount insured = N30,000

Amount loss = N40,000

Actual Value = N100,000

=$\frac{30,000\times 40,000}{100,000}$

= $\frac{1200000000}{100,000}$ = 12,000

The vessels that operate on specific route on high seas and oceans are

Maelezo ya Majibu

The vessels that operate on specific routes on high seas and oceans are called "Liners". These ships are designed to transport cargo and passengers on fixed routes, and their schedules are usually published in advance. Passenger liners are ships that transport people from one place to another, while cargo liners are ships that transport goods and products. Coastal liners operate along the coastlines and may stop at various ports along the way, while ocean liners travel across the open ocean. Tramp liners, on the other hand, do not operate on fixed routes, and their schedules and destinations may vary depending on the cargo they are transporting and where it needs to go. Tramp liners may carry anything from raw materials to finished goods and may travel to various ports around the world. Therefore, the vessels that operate on specific routes on high seas and oceans are a combination of passenger liners and cargo liners.

Maelezo ya Majibu

The forum for the selling and buying of securities of small and medium companies is called the "Second tier Security Market." This market is also known as the "Second Market" or "Junior Market" and provides a platform for smaller companies to sell their securities to investors. Unlike the primary market, where newly issued securities are sold to the public for the first time, the second tier market is a secondary market where existing securities of small and medium-sized companies can be traded. This market is often less regulated and less liquid than the primary market or major exchanges, but it provides an opportunity for investors to buy into smaller, growing companies with potential for growth.

The implied provisions in every sale of goods as contained in the Sales of Goods Act of 1893 are conditions and?

Maelezo ya Majibu

The implied provisions in every sale of goods as contained in the Sales of Goods Act of 1893 are conditions and warranties. Conditions are the essential terms of a contract that must be fulfilled in order for the contract to be carried out. In the context of a sale of goods, conditions refer to the fundamental aspects of the transaction that must be met. For example, if you buy a car, a condition of the sale might be that the car is roadworthy and can be legally driven on the roads. Warranties, on the other hand, are promises made about the quality, performance, or condition of the goods being sold. Unlike conditions, the breach of a warranty does not necessarily result in the termination of the contract. For example, if you buy a car and the seller promises that it has a full service history, but it turns out that it doesn't, this would be a breach of warranty, but it wouldn't necessarily mean that the sale is null and void. So in summary, conditions are the essential terms of a contract that must be met, while warranties are promises made about the quality, performance, or condition of the goods being sold. Both conditions and warranties are implied provisions in every sale of goods as contained in the Sales of Goods Act of 1893.

What is the cost of good sold?

Maelezo ya Majibu

To calculate the cost of goods sold (COGS), we need to subtract the closing stock from the sum of the opening stock and purchases. The COGS is the cost of the products that were sold during the accounting period. So, let's calculate the sum of the opening stock and purchases: Opening stock + Purchases = ₦50,000 + ₦200,000 = ₦250,000 Now, let's subtract the closing stock from this sum: COGS = (Opening stock + Purchases) - Closing stock = ₦250,000 - ₦80,000 = ₦170,000 Therefore, the cost of goods sold is ₦170,000. Option C is the correct answer. The cost of goods sold is an important figure in accounting as it is used to calculate gross profit, which is the difference between sales revenue and COGS. Gross profit is a measure of how efficiently a company is using its resources to produce and sell its products.

The document that gives an important freehand to obtain goods form any manufacturer is

Maelezo ya Majibu

The document that gives an important freehand to obtain goods from any manufacturer is an open indent. An open indent is a document that is used in international trade to allow a buyer to purchase goods from a manufacturer or supplier with a high degree of flexibility. With an open indent, the buyer has the freedom to purchase goods from the manufacturer at any time within a specified period, without having to place a new order for each purchase. This gives the buyer a great deal of freedom in terms of when and how much they purchase, and it can also help to build a strong relationship between the buyer and the manufacturer or supplier. In contrast, a closed indent is a document that specifies a particular quantity of goods to be purchased, and a consular invoice is a document that is used in international trade to provide customs officials with information about the shipment of goods. A freight note, also known as a bill of lading, is a document that provides details about the shipment of goods and serves as a receipt for the transportation of those goods. So in summary, an open indent is the document that gives a buyer a great deal of flexibility in terms of when and how much they purchase from a manufacturer or supplier.

Partnerships and sole traders typically have a partnership agreement or a proprietorship deed, while public corporations have articles of association or bylaws.

The advantage of vending machines is that they allow customers to purchase products 24/7 without the need for a sales attendant to be present. This makes them a convenient and efficient way to purchase goods in public places such as airports, train stations, shopping malls, and office buildings. Additionally, vending machines can help reduce labor costs for businesses by eliminating the need for a sales staff.

A type of long-term loan granted to companies with a fixed interest rate, redeemable and irredeemable features is referred to as a "debenture."

Maelezo ya Majibu

The business environment that takes into account the age distribution, ethnic mix, and educational level of the consumer is called the demographic environment. This environment refers to the various characteristics of the population that may affect a business's operations, including their age, gender, income, education, ethnicity, and other factors. By understanding the demographic environment, businesses can tailor their products and services to meet the specific needs and preferences of their target market. For example, a business that sells products primarily to elderly customers would likely focus on making their products easy to use and accessible to people with mobility issues. Similarly, a business that sells products to a diverse ethnic mix would want to ensure that their marketing materials and customer service are culturally sensitive and appropriate. Overall, the demographic environment is an important consideration for businesses that want to successfully market their products and services to different segments of the population.

It acts as a receipt for the goods and specifies the details of the deposit, including the name of the depositor, the quantity of goods, and the location where the goods are being held. The dock warrant is an important document because it allows the depositor to retain ownership of the goods while they are being held in storage. The document can be used to transfer ownership of the goods, to secure financing, or to claim the goods when they are ready for delivery. In summary, a dock warrant is a document that serves as proof of deposit of goods in a specific location, and it allows the depositor to retain ownership of the goods while they are in storage.
