Answer: Allowance for the doubtful accounts with a credit balance of $29,600
Explanation:
From the information that is provided in the question, the following can be deduced and the year-end financial statements should show:
Allowance for the doubtful accounts with a credit balance will be calculated as: the beginning allowance for the doubtful accounts + (the sales × Provision % ) - accounts receivable that were written off.
= $3,500 + ($1,110,000 × 3%) - $7,200
= $3500 + $33300 - $7200
= $36800 - $7200
= $29,600
At the annual meeting of the HR division at an insurance company, the vice president of HR noted that pay compression was a problematic phenomenon for certain jobs for which there was high demand but low supply. This problem was especially acute for jobs in actuarial science and legal services. The vice president of HR has hired you as a compensation consultant to help them formulate an action plan for dealing with this situation. What would you say is the best solution to this situation?
Answer:
Prepare high performing employees for promotions to jobs at higher salary levels.
Explanation:
Pay compression occurs when there is little difference in pay between employees regardless of experience and skill they possess. This leads to low motivation ong employees to perform above others since compensation is the same.
In the given instance this is the problem in actuarial science and legal jobs where there is high demand and low supply of talent.
To remedy this there needs to be a framework to compensate high performers.
Promoting them to jobs that have higher salary will be a great way to recognise and motivate high fliers
Liu Electronics budgeted sales of $400,000.00 for the month of November and cost of goods sold equal to 65 percent of sales. Beginning inventory was $80,000.00 and ending inventory is estimated at $72,000.00. The budgeted purchases for November are:________
Answer:
Purchases= $252,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= $400,000
Cost of goods sold equal to 65 percent of sales.
Beginning inventory= $80,000
Ending inventory= $72,000
To calculate the purchase required, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= (400,000*0.65) + 72,000 - 80,000
Purchases= $252,000

The Blaine Development Corporation (BDC) is reconsidering the Lummi Resort Hotel project. It would be located on the picturesque banks of Birch Bay and have its own championship-level golf course. The cost to purchase the land would be $1 million, payable immediately. Construction costs would be approximately $2 million, due at the end of year 1. However, the construction costs are uncertain. These costs could be up to 20 percent higher or lower than the estimate of $2 million with an equal chance (uniform distribution). BDC’s best estimate for the annual operating profit to be generated in years 2, 3, 4, and 5 is $700,000. Due to the great uncertainty, the estimate of the standard deviation of the annual operating profit in each year also is $700,000. Assume that the yearly profits are statistically independent and follow the normal distribution. After year 5, BDC plans to sell the hotel. The selling price is likely to be somewhere between $4 and $8 million (assume a uniform distribution), and revenue will be received in year 5. Interest has been r = 5% (and you can ignore inflation), so you can simplify your net present value (NPV) calculation to be
NPV = summation of [ (pi(t)-c(t)) / ( (1-r)^t )] where t varies from 0 to 5
where pi(t) is operating profit and ct is cost of land and construction, both in period t. Simulate the NPV 1000 times. What is the mean and standard deviation of the NPV of the project?

On January 1, 20X1, Draper Inc. signed a five-year noncancelable lease with Thornhill Company for custom-made equipment. The lease calls for five payments of $161,364.70 to be made at the beginning of each year. The leased asset has a fair value of $900,000 on January 1, 20X1. There is no bargain purchase option, and ownership of the leased asset reverts to Thornhill at the lease end. The leased asset has an expected useful life of six years, and Draper uses straight-line depreciation for financial reporting purposes. Its incremental borrowing rate is 8%. Draper uses a calendar year for financial reporting purposes.
Required:
1. Under U.S GAAP would Draper classify this lease as a capital lease or as an operating lease? Explain.
2. Under IFRS would Draper classify this lease as a capital lease or as an operating lease? Explain.
Answer:
1. Under U.S GAAP the lease will be capital lease
2. Under IFRS it is leased under capital lease method.
Explanation:
1. In order to determine Under U.S GAAP if Draper classify this lease as a capital lease or as an operating lease we would to calculate the lease payable as follows:
lease payable=(Annual Payment*present value after interest and tax)/Fair value
lease payable=($161,364.70*800)/$900,000
lease payable=77.3%
Under U.S GAAP the lease will be capital lease because the lease term is for 5 years was more than 75% of economic life
2. Under IFRS the assets are mostly considered by its economic value, so it is leased under capital lease method.

Walkers World Company gathered the following information for 2019:
Total sales revenue (65% on credit) $432,000
Cost of goods sold 231,000
Sales returns and allowances (on credit) 44,000
Accounts receivable at end of 2019 ($30,000
increase during 2019) 100,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts:
Beginning of 2019 5,000
End of 2019 7,000
Merchandise inventory at end of 2019 ($10,000
decrease during 2019) 28,000
Assume 365 days in the year.
Calculate each of the following ratios.
A. Receivable turnover ratio.
B. Average age of receivables.
C. Inventory turnover ratio.
D. Average number of days' supply in inventory
Answer:
A. Receivable turnover ratio. = 4.57 times
B. Average age of receivables. 94.07 days
C. Inventory turnover ratio. 7 times
D. Average number of days' supply in inventory = 633 days
Explanation:
Net Sales $ 388,000
Sales revenue (65% on credit) $432,000
Less Sales returns and allowances (on credit) 44,000
Average Accounts Receivable = Accounts Rec (beg) Accounts Rec (end)/2
= 70,000+ 100,000/2= $85,000
A. Receivable turnover ratio.
Receivable turnover ratio= Net Sales / Average Accounts Receivable
= 388,000/ 85,000= 4.5647= 4.565= 4.57 times
A high turnover ratio is favorable because the accounts receivable are quickly collected.
B. Average age of receivables.
Average age of receivables= Accounts receivable *365/ Sales
= 100,000* 365/388,000= 365,000,00/388,000= 94.07 days
Accounts receivable will be collected in 94 days.
C. Inventory turnover ratio.
Inventory turnover ratio= Cost Of Goods Sold/ Average Inventory
= 231,000/38,000+ 28,000/2
= 231,000/33,000= 7 times
A company with a high turnover requires a smaller investment in inventory than one producing the same sales with a lower turn over.
D. Average number of days' supply in inventory
Average number of days' supply in inventory= Cost of Goods Sold/ 365
= 231,000 /365= 632.89
More Inventory will be needed in 633 days

Go to the internet and find a news article published within the last month that discusses changes in demand and supply of particular goods/services, summarize key points and post in the Discussions area. Refer to week 2 content materials and use specific economic vocabulary within your summary, i.e. demand, quantity demanded, determinants of demand, shifts in demand curve, etc. Likewise with supply. Also you should discuss changes in equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price.
Answer: The explanation is provided below
Explanation:
Below article is the summary of the acceleration of inflation in the emerging markets that was published in 2018.
According to the article, inflation in an economy is caused by an adverse supply shock or as a result of the expansionary fiscal policy or the expansionary monetary policy.
In an adverse supply shock, total quantity of basic goods will reduce drastically causing the aggregate demand to rise exponentially and therefore, push prices higher and then gradually lead to inflation.
Also, the continous and eventual implementation of the expansionary fiscal or monetary policy through continous tax cuts or by increasing government spending or reducting interest rates, lead into significant increase in the aggregate demand and as a result, prices rise eventually resulting in hyperinflation in the economy. This will also lead to increase in the real GDP of the economy.
Different tools in the monetary policy framework can be used to control inflation such as government securities,
the cash reserve ratio, interest rates. To reduce recession, government utilize automatic stabilizer in order to boost the economy.
Boren Company reported the following information for the current year: Sales (625 units) $37,800, direct materials and direct labor $14,600, other variable costs $13,200, and fixed costs $6,000. "What is the company's break-even point in units?"
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 375 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales (625 units) $37,800
direct materials and direct labor $14,600
other variable costs $13,200
fixed costs $6,000.
To calculate the break-even points in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Unitary selling price= 37,800/625= $60.48
Unitary varaible cost= (13,200 + 14,600)/625= $44.48
Break-even point in units= 6,000/ (60.48 - 44.48)
Break-even point in units= 375 units

The previous balance was Supplies $225
If the following was made:
Dr Supplies expense 1,125
Cr Supplies 1,125
Then the ending balance of Supplies would be = -$900
b. Case B the $1,125 was debited to supplies. What is the balance of Supplies at year-end?
The previous balance was Supplies $225
If the following was made:
Dr Supplies 1,125
Cr Supplies expense 1,125
Then the ending balance of Supplies would be = $1,350
Explanation:
During the current year, supplies were purchased for $1,125 cash. The inventory of supplies at the prior year-end was $225.
Adjusting entry to record supplies expense = $1,125 + $225 - $360
Dr Supplies expense 990
Cr Supplies 990
Ending balance of supplies inventory = $360

Suppose initially, vertical portion of the supply curve intersects the demand curve on its downward portion. Graphically show the case where an increase in the interest rate paid on reserves does NOT lead to a change in the equilibrium fed funds rate.
Answer:
Kindly Check Explanation section
Explanation:
NB: Since, we are to show graphically and there is need to draw, kindly check the attached file for the graph that shows the case where an increase in the interest rate paid on reserves does NOT lead to a change in the equilibrium fed funds rate.
The concept of RESERVE is very important in accounting. The amount of money that is saved up from the normal profit of a business organization or company or a country which is being used for further efficient Production In the long run is known as RESERVE.
For a country, it is the central bank in such country that pays the interest with regards to reserves that are in excess.
It must be noted that as the rate of supply increases , the rate of at which the value of price is also reduces. Hence, when there is an increase in the interest rate paid on reserves the whole demand does not shoot up.
NB: The initial equilibrium is at E( the point at which D(A) and P(A) meets and an increase causes it to meet at the point D(B) and P(B).
Due to a recession, expected inflation this year is only 3.75%. However, the inflation rate in Year 2 and thereafter is expected to be constant at some level above 3.75%. Assume that the expectations theory holds and the real risk-free rate (r*) is 3.5%. If the yield on 3-year Treasury bonds equals the 1-year yield plus 0.5%, what inflation rate is expected after Year 1
Answer:
5.25%
Explanation:
To calculate the inflation for the year 3, we will have to calculate the yield on 1 Year treasury bond.
The yield is calculated using the following formula:
Nominal Yield on Bond = Real risk free rate + Inflation for the year
Here
Inflation for Year One is 3.75%
Real Risk-Free Rate is 3.5%
Nominal yield on bond is Y for year 1
By putting values, we have:
Y = 3.5% + 3.75% = 7.25%
For 3 years treasury bond,
Nominal Yield on Treasury Bond for 3 years = Yield on year 1 + Inflation
Y3 = 7.25% + 1.5% = 8.75 %
Now if we deduct the real risk free rate from the 3 year yield on the treasury bond, then the resultant rate would be the inflation rate for the year 3.
Inflation Rate for Year 3 = Y3 - Real Risk-Free Rate
Inflation Rate for Year 3 = 8.75% - 3.5%
Inflation Rate for Year 3 = 5.25%

Banfield Corporation makes three products that use compound W, the current constrained resource. Data concerning those products appear below: VP YI WX Selling price per unit $ 248.04 $ 230.66 $ 505.44 Variable cost per unit $ 190.71 $ 172.14 $ 388.80 Centiliters of compound W 3.90 3.80 8.10
Answer:
B) YI, VP, WX
Explanation:
VP YI WX
Selling price per unit
$248.04 $230.66 $505.44
Variable cost per unit
190.71 $172.14 $388.80
Contribution margin per unit
(Selling price - variable cost)
$57.33 $58.52 $116.64
The amount of the constrained resource that would be required to produce one unit
3.90 3.80 8.10
Therefore:
$57.33÷3.90=$14,70
$58.52÷3.80 =$15.40
$116.64÷8.10=$14.40
Therefore the Contribution margin per unit of the constrained resource would be
$14.70 $15.40 $14.40
Therefore the Ranking the products in order of their current profitability from most profitable to least profitable would be:
YI =$15.90
VP=$14.70
WX=$14.40
Which is YI VP WX
Companies Heidee and Leaudy are virtually identical in that they are both profitable, and they have the same total assets (TA), Sales (S), return on assets (ROA), and profit margin (PM). However, Company Heidee has the higher debt ratio. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a. Company Heidee has a lower operating income (EBIT) than Company LD
b. Company Heidee has a lower total assets turnover than Company Leaudy.
c. Company Heidee has a lower equity multiplier than Company Leaudy.
d. Company Heidee has a higher fixed assets turnover than Company Leaudy.
e. Company Heidee has a higher ROE than Company Leaudy.
Answer:
e. Company Heidee has a higher ROE than Company Leaudy.
Explanation:
Return on equity measures how well the management of a business uses owner's equity to get returns. It is calculated by dividing net income by owner's equity.
That is
ROE= Net Income ÷ Owner's equity
Considering the accounting equation
Asset= Liability + Owner equity
Owner equity= Asset - Liability
From the equation when a company that take on more debt owner's equity will reduce.
The effect of reduction in owner's equity on Return on Equity is that it will increase the ratio, since owner's equity is the denominator.
In this scenario both companies have the same profit margin so if company Heidee has higher debt ratio it follows that it also has a higher ROE than Company Leaudy
Ratio proficiency McDougal Printing, Inc., had sales totaling $ 41 comma 000 comma 000 in fiscal year 2019. Some ratios for the company are listed below. Use this information to determine the dollar values of various income statement and balance sheet accounts as requested. Assume a 365-day year. Calculate values for the following: a. Gross profits b. Cost of goods sold c. Operating profits d. Operating expenses e. Earnings available for common stockholders f. Total assets g. Total common stock equity h. Accounts receivable
Answer:
a. Gross profits
= total sales x gross profit margin = $41,000,000 x 76% = $31,160,000
b. Cost of goods sold
= total sales - gross profit = $41,000,000 - $31,160,000 = $9,840,000
c. Operating profits
= total sales x operating profit margin = $41,000,000 x 31% = $12,710,000
d. Operating expenses
= total sales - operating profit = $41,000,000 - $12,710,000 = $28,290,000
e. Earnings available for common stockholders
= net profits = total sales x net profit margin = $41,000,000 x 9% = $3,690,000
f. Total assets
asset turnover = revenue / total assets
total assets = revenue / 2.1 = $41,000,000 / 2.1 = $19,523,810
g. Total common stock equity
ROE = net income / equity
equity = net income / ROE = $3,690,000 / 23% = $16,043,478
h. Accounts receivable
average collection period = 365 / accounts receivable turnover
54.5 = 365 / accounts receivable turnover
accounts receivable turnover = 365 / 54.5 = 6.697248
accounts receivable turnover = sales / accounts receivable
accounts receivable = sales / accounts receivable turnover = $41,000,000 / 6.697248 = $6,121,918

United Resources Company obtained a charter from the state in January of this year. The charter authorized 206,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $3. During the year, the company earned $493,000 Also during the year, the following selected transactions occurred in the order given: Sold 88,000 shares of the common stock in an initial public offering for $14 per share. Repurchased 26,000 shares of the previously issued shares for $17 per share. Resold 8,000 shares of treasury stock for $20 per share. Required: Prepare the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet at the end of the year. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)
Answer:
United Resources Company
Stockholders section of the balance sheet at the end of the year:
Common Stock:
Authorized 206,000 shares at $3 par value
Issued 88,000 shares $264,000
Additional Paid-in Capital
($968,000 -364,000 + 136,000) 740,000
Treasury Stock ($78,000 - 24,000) (54,000)
Total Equity $950,000
Explanation:
a) The authorized common stock is stated in the balance sheet as a memorandum record. It does not form part of the calculation of equity since all the shares have not been issued.
b) Issued common stock is valued at 88,000 * $3 = $264,000
c) The difference in the par value and the issue price is recorded in the Additional Paid-in Capital Account. It is also where the increases and decreases in Treasury stock above or below par values are recorded.
d) Treasury Stock is a common stock contra account which records the repurchase and resale of common stock. Two methods are used.

You run a school in Florida. Fixed monthly cost is $5,435.00 for rent and utilities, $6,171.00 is spent in salaries and $1,545.00 in insurance. Also every student adds up to $91.00 per month in stationary, food etc. You charge $734.00 per month from every student now. You are considering moving the school to another neighborhood where the rent and utilities will increase to $11,679.00, salaries to $6,974.00 and insurance to $2,408.00 per month. Variable cost per student will increase up to $158.00 per month. However you can charge $1,054.00 per student. At what point will you be indifferent between your current mode of operation and the new option?
Answer:
31
Explanation:
The calculation of indifferent between your current mode of operation and the new option is shown below:-
Current Operation
Contribution Margin = Monthly Fees - Variable Cost
= $734.00 - $91.00
= $643.00
Total Fixed Cost = Rent and Utilities + Salaries + Insurance
= $5,435.00 + $6,171.00 + $1,545.00
= $13,151.00
New Operation
Contribution Margin = Monthly Fees - Variable Cost
= $1,054.00 - $158.00
= $896.00
Total Fixed Cost = Rent and Utilities + Salaries + Insurance
= $11,679.00 + $6,974.00 + $2,408.00
= $21,061.00
Here we will assume the indifferent number of students will be X
So,
Income under current option = Income under new option
$643.00 × X - $13,151.00 = $896.00 × X - $21,061.00
$253X = $7,910
X = $7,910 ÷ $253
= 31.26
or
= 31
Plum Corporation (a C corporation and a computer manufacturer) donated 100 laptop computers to a local university (a qualified educational organization) this year. The computers were constructed by Plum earlier this year, and the university will use the computers for research and research training. Plum's basis in the computers is $35,000, and their fair market value is $120,000. What is Plum's deduction for the contribution of the computers (ignoring the taxable income limitation)?
Answer:
Plum’s deduction for the contribution of the computers is $70,000
Explanation:
According to the given data the contribution of the computers qualifies for the increased contribution amount available with respect to certain inventory.
Therefore, The contribution amount is equal to the lesser of :
1) $35,000 basis + 50 % * ( $120,000 FMV - $35,000 basis ) = $ 77,500 ( basis + 50 % of the appreciation on the property )
2) $35,000 * 2 = $ 70,000 ( twice the property's basis )
Therefore, Plum’s deduction for the contribution of the computers is $70,000.
Answer:
$70,000
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Plum's basis in the computers is= $35,000
The fair market value is = $120,000.
Now,
We find the deduction for plum's corporation towards the contribution of computers.
Thus,
The donation of the computers allows for the increased amount contribution at hand with respect to certain inventory. The contribution amount is equal to the lesser of the following:
So,
35000 basis + 50 % * ( 120000 FMV - 35000 basis ) = $ 77500 ( basis + 50 % of the appreciation on the property )
Then
35000 * 2 = $ 70000 ( twice the property's basis )
Hence, Plum’s deduction for the contribution of the computers is 70000.

The Work in Process Inventory account of a manufacturing company has a $7,728 debit balance. The company applies overhead using direct labor cost. The cost sheet of the only job still in process shows direct material cost of $2,800 and direct labor cost of $1,600. Therefore, the company's predetermined overhead rate is:
Answer:
The company's predetermined overhead rate is 208%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the company's predetermined overhead rate we would have to calculate first the Overhead applied as follows:
o verhead applied=Work in process balance-Direct Material-Direct Labor
o verhead applied=$7,728-$2,800-$1,600
o verhead applied=$3,328
Therefore, Overhead application rate = $3,328/$1,600= 217%
Overhead application rate =208%
The company's predetermined overhead rate is 208%
Answer:
208%
Explanation:
Work In Progress= Direct materials + Direct labor+ Over Head
$7,728 = $2,800 + $1,600 + OH
$7,728=$4,400
$7,728-$4,400
OH=$3,328
OH rate = $3,328/$1,600
= 208%
The common stock of Sweet Treats is selling for $45.65 per share. The company is expected to have an annual dividend increase of 2.6 percent indefinitely and pay a dividend of $3.30 in one year. What is the total return on this stock
Answer:
9.83%
Explanation:
The computation of the total return on the stock is shown below:
As we know that
Share price = Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
$45.65 = $3.30 ÷ (Required rate of return - 2.6%)
Let us assume the required rate of return be X
So,
$45.65 × X - 1.1869 = $3.30
$45.65 × X = $3.30 + $1.1869
So, the X is 9.83%
Hence, the total return on the stock is 9.83%
Lisa loves her job as an executive recruiter for a large hospital located in Dallas, Texas. Part of Lisa's job requires her to gather industry information, collaborate with partners, compare competitors, and tap into the knowledge of prospective employees, partners, and customers. Which of the below would Lisa use to perform her job?
A. Interactivity metrics
B. Source code
C. Network effect
D. Collective intelligence
Answer:
D. Collective intelligence.
Explanation:
Collective intelligence is a concept under sociology, it refers to the process whereby groups of individuals or employees act or work collectively in ways that seem intelligent.
This simply means that, when intellectuals interact and sometimes compete with their colleagues, qualitative information are shared among the team and thus, they solve problems collectively as team members.
Hence, collective intelligence accords the team a greater chance to proffer solutions to problems, than they would have done if they were working independently and individually.
Since, Lisa's job requires her to gather industry information, collaborate with partners, compare competitors, and tap into the knowledge of prospective employees, partners, and customers.
Lisa should use collective intelligence to perform her job.
Suppose Rebecca needs a dog sitter so that she can travel to her sister’s wedding. Rebecca values dog sitting for the weekend at $200. Susan is willing to dog sit for Rebecca so long as she receives at least $175. Rebecca and Susan agree on a price of $185. Suppose the government imposes a tax of $30 on dog sitting. What is the deadweight loss of the tax?
Answer:
The deadweight loss of the tax is $25
Explanation:
In order to calculate the deadweight loss of the tax we would have to make the following calculation:
deadweight loss of the tax=maximum willingness to pay - minimum willingness to accept
maximum willingness to pay=$200
minimum willingness to accept =$175
deadweight loss of the tax=$200-$175
deadweight loss of the tax=$25
The deadweight loss of the tax is $25
Answer: $25
Explanation:
Given Data:
Rebecca value for dog sitting = $200
Susan’s minimum agreed price = $175
Rebecca and Susan agreed price = $185
Government tax on dog sitting = $30
Dead weight loss = Rebecca value - Susan list price
= $200 - $175
= $25
The dead weight loss of tax is $25
Berk Company produces three products: Tic, Tac, and Toe. Tic requires 160 machine setups, Tac requires 150 setups, and Toe requires 190 setups. Berk has identified an activity cost pool with allocated overhead of $32,000 for which the cost driver is machine setups. How much overhead is assigned to the Tic product?
Answer:
Overhead assigned to Tic= $10,240
Explanation:
Activity-based costing is a form of absorption costing where overheads are charged to product using cost drivers.
Under this method, overheads are first analyzed and categorized by the activities responsible for them and then charged to product based on the amount of benefits enjoyed using cost drivers.
Activity rate per driver is calculated as:
Activity overhead for the period / Total cost drivers for the period
Set -up activity overhead = $32,000
Total expected cost drivers for activity set up = sum of the set ups for the three products
Total set ups= 160 +150 + 190 = 500 set ups
Overhead rate per set up
= $32,000/500 set ups
= $64 per set up
Overhead assigned to Tic = Overhead rate per set up × No of setups for TIC
= $64 per setup ×160=$10,240
Overhead assigned to Tic= $10,240
A company began its fiscal year with inventory of $191,000. Purchases and cost of goods sold for the year were $950,000 and $984,000, respectively. What was the amount of ending inventory
Answer:
Ending inventory= $157,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory= $191,000.
Purchases and cost of goods sold for the year were $950,000 and $984,000.
To calculate the ending inventory, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory
984,000= 191,000 + 950,000 - ending inventory
984,000= 1,141,000 - ending inventory
Ending inventory= $157,000

market value of NWC = $1,150,000market value of fixed assets = $5,100,000FMV of NWC + fixed assets = $1,150,000 + $5,100,000 = $6,250,000
, what measures will you put in place to ensure that your bank will not be caught up in the same situation as the collapsed banks?
Answer:
I will review the financial statements of the bank and the stock exchange valuation of the bank's stock.
Explanation:
The most important evidence of the organization's current position are its financial statements which shows that whether or not the organization will survive in the next 12 months. So to avoid any issues with the bank's bankruptcy we can review the financial statements of the bank to think about whether or not to keep the money deposited or not. Furthermore, the stock exchange pricing of the stock is also a key indicator of the financial position of the bank.
So I will review the financial statements of the bank and the stock exchange valuation of the bank's stock.
