Explanation / Answer

12. Ending Cash Balance = Opening Cash balance + Cash Receipts - Cash Disbursements
= 69000 + 93000 - 117000 = $45,000
But required ending cash balance is $60,000.
Hence, the company will have to borrow 60000 - 45000 = $15,000

13. From the standpoint of issuing company, a disadvantage of using bonds as a means of long-term financing is that interest must be paid on a periodic basis regardless of earnings.

A is an advantage to the issuing company whereas C & D are from bondholders & stockholders point of view.

14. The major difference between stocks and bonds is that bonds represent a safer investment than stocks.

Option A is wrong as bonds are cheaper than stocks. Option D is wrong as companies have to pay back to the bondholders and not stockholders. Option C is wrong as only equity stockholders are owners of the company.

15. The answer is B : Gross profit equals the difference between net sales revenue and cost of goods sold.

Sales
- COGS
= Gross Profit
- Selling, general & admin expenses
= Operating Income
+ Interest & Dividend income
- Interest Expense
+/- Non-operating gains/ (losses)
= Income from continuing operations before tax
- Provision for income tax
= Income from continuing operations
+/- Gains/ (losses) on discontinued operations & extraordinary events
= Net Income

16. The control principle related to not having the same person authorize and pay for goods is known as separation of duties.
Segregation of duties : Duties are assigned in a manner that ensures that no one person is in a position to both commit and conceal an irregularity/ fraud.
