Prime Minister Narendra Modi ’s second budget in seven months disappointed investors who were hoping for big-bang stimulus to revive growth in Asia’s third-largest economy. The fiscal plan delivered by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman proposed tax reductions for individuals and wider deficit targets, but failed to provide specific steps to fix a struggling financial sector, improve infrastructure and create jobs. Stocks slumped, reflecting the subdued sentiment.
“Far from being a game changer, the budget provides little in terms of short-term growth stimulus,” said Priyanka Kishore, head of India and South-East Asia economics at Oxford Economics Ltd. in Singapore. “While income tax cuts will provide some relief on the consumption front, the multiplier effect is low and the overall stance of the budget is not expansionary.”
The focus now shifts to the Reserve Bank of India’s interest rate decision on February 6, 2020. Flowever, having already cut interest rates five times last year and with inflation exceeding 7 per cent, well above the central bank’s target, there’s limited scope for Governor Shaktikanta Das to ease more.

what weight of glucose should be added to 1700g of water at 20 degree celsius to lower its vapour pressure by 0.01mm the vapour pressure of water at 20 degree celsius 17mmhg

Mihir Joshi answered  •  Oct 18, 2024
Understanding the Problem
To determine the weight of glucose required to lower the vapor pressure of water by 0.01 mmHg, we can use Raoult's Law. This states that the vapor pressure of a solution is directly related to the mole fraction of the solvent.
Given Data
- Vapor pressure of pure water at 20°C: 17 mmHg
- Desired reduction in vapor pressure: 0.01 mmHg

Which of the following compounds will react with sodium hydroxide solution in water?
  • a)
    C6H5OH
  • b)
    C6H5CH2OH
  • c)
    (CH3)3COH

Mihir Joshi answered  •  Jul 23, 2024
Explanation:

Reactivity with Sodium Hydroxide Solution:
- When a compound reacts with sodium hydroxide solution in water, it undergoes a reaction known as alkaline hydrolysis.
- Alkaline hydrolysis involves the breaking of chemical bonds in the compound due to the presence of hydroxide ions (OH-) from the sodium hydroxide solution.

Analysis of Compo
... more
- C6H5OH (Phenol): Phenol is a compound with a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring. This hydroxyl group can react with sodium hydroxide solution through alkaline hydrolysis.
- C6H5CH2OH (Benzyl alcohol): Benzyl alcohol also contains a hydroxyl group (-OH), which can react with sodium hydroxide solution.
- (CH3)3COH (Tertiary butanol): Tertiary butanol is a tertiary alcohol, which does not undergo alkaline hydrolysis due to the absence of a reactive hydrogen atom.
- C2H5OH (Ethanol): Ethanol is a primary alcohol and can react with sodium hydroxide solution through alkaline hydrolysis.

Conclusion:
- Among the given options, only C6H5OH (Phenol) and C2H5OH (Ethanol) will react with sodium hydroxide solution in water due to the presence of hydroxyl groups that can undergo alkaline hydrolysis.

Current assets are those that are expected to be converted into cash or used up within one year or the operating cycle of the business, whichever is longer. They include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, and prepaid expenses.

Non-Current Assets:

Non-current assets, also known as long-term assets, are those that are not expected to be converted into cash or used up within one year. They include property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, and investments.

Explanation of Options:

a) Sundry debtors of 93,000:
Sundry debtors are individuals or entities who owe money to the company for goods or services provided on credit. They represent accounts receivable, which is a current asset. Therefore, option (a) can be presented on the asset side of the balance sheet.

b) Public deposits of 2,20,000:
Public deposits are funds received from the public for a specific period against a fixed rate of interest. They are considered as liabilities and not assets. Therefore, option (b) cannot be presented on the asset side of the balance sheet.

c) Livestock of 1,20,000:
Livestock represents tangible assets that are used in agricultural or farming activities. They can be classified as non-current assets if they are intended for long-term use. Therefore, option (c) can be presented on the asset side of the balance sheet.

d) Both (a) and (c):
As explained above, both option (a) and option (c) can be presented on the asset side of the balance sheet. Sundry debtors represent current assets, while livestock represents non-current assets.

Conclusion:

Option (d) is the correct answer as both sundry debtors and livestock can be presented on the asset side of the balance sheet.

With an aim to check flow of black money and evasion of taxes through stock market, market regulator SEBI has decided to impose hefty penalty on brokers facilitating such transactions from tomorrow. The regulator recently came across a loophole in its existing regulations, which was being abused by stock brokers for facilitating tax evasion and flow of black money through fictitious trades in lieu of hefty commissions. To remove this anomaly, SEBI has asked stock exchanges to penalise the brokers transferring trades from one trading account to another after terming them as ‘punching’ errors. The penalty could be as high as 2% of the value of shares traded in the ‘wrong’ account, as per new rules coming into effect from August 1.
In a widely-prevalent, but secretly operated practice, the people looking to evade taxes approach certain brokers to show losses in their stock trading accounts, so that their earnings from other sources are not taxed. These brokers are also approached by people looking to show their black money as earnings made through stock market. In exchange for a commission, generally 5-10% of the total amount, these brokers show desired profits or losses in the accounts of their clients after transferring trades from other accounts, created for such purposes only.
The brokers generally keep conducting both ‘buy’ and ‘sell’ trades in these fictitious accounts so that they can be used accordingly when approached by such clients.
In the market parlance, these deals are known as profit or loss shopping. While profit is purchased to show black money as earnings from the market, the losses are purchased to avoid tax on earnings from other sources.
As the transfer of trades is not allowed from one account to the other in general cases, the brokers show the trades conducted in their own fictitious accounts as ‘punching’ errors. The regulations allow transfer of trades in the cases of genuine errors, as at times ‘punching’ or placing of orders can be made for a wrong client. To check any abuse of this rule, SEBI has asked the bourses to put in place a robust mechanism to identify whether the errors are genuine or not. At the same time, the bourses have been asked to levy penalty on the brokers transferring their non-institutional trades from one account to the other. The penalty would be 1% of the traded value in wrong account, if such trades are up to 5% of the broker’s total non-institutional turnover in a month. The penalty would be 2% of trade value in wrong account, if such transactions exceed 5% of total monthly turnover in a month.
