Debiting the Cash Account for the money realised from the sale of unrecorded assets

When a business sells an unrecorded asset, it receives cash in exchange. This cash receipt needs to be recorded in the accounting system to ensure accurate financial reporting. The money realised from the sale of unrecorded assets is debited to the Cash Account because it represents an increase in the business's cash balance.

Importance of recording the sale of unrecorded assets

The sale of unrecorded assets can have an impact on the financial statements of a business. If the sale is not recorded, it can lead to incorrect financial reporting and misrepresent the financial position of the business. For example, if the business sells a valuable asset for a significant amount of cash, but fails to record the sale, its cash balance will be understated, and its assets will be overstated. This can lead to inaccurate financial ratios, such as the current ratio, and mislead stakeholders about the business's ability to meet its short-term obligations.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the money realised from the sale of unrecorded assets should be debited to the Cash Account to ensure accurate financial reporting and prevent misrepresentation of the business's financial position. It is important to record all transactions accurately and in a timely manner to maintain the integrity of the accounting system.

Choice of Advertising Media

Strategy for choosing the appropriate advertising media is crucial in marketing. It is a process that is based on research and analysis of the target audience, budget, and objectives of the campaign. To ensure that the advertising message reaches the target audience effectively, the following factors are considered:

1. Target audience: The choice of advertising media is influenced by the target audience. For instance, if the target audience is the older generation, traditional media such as print and television will be more effective. However, if the target audience is in the younger generation, social media will be more effective.

2. Budget: A budget is an important factor that determines the choice of advertising media. Advertising through traditional media such as television and print is expensive compared to digital media such as social media and email. Thus, the budget determines the choice of advertising media.

3. Objectives: The objectives of the advertising campaign also influence the choice of advertising media. If the objective is to increase brand awareness, then television and print media are more effective than social media.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the choice of advertising media is a strategic process that is based on research and analysis of the target audience, budget, and objectives of the campaign. The decision on which media to use should be based on the effectiveness of the media in reaching the target audience, the budget available, and the objectives of the campaign. Therefore, it can be concluded that the correct answer is option 'C' - Strategy.

  • b)
    felt that he deserved a reward
  • c)
    were very critical of him
  • d)
    wanted him to let the soldier die
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Srishti Chavan answered
The correct answer to the question is option 'C': the servants in Sadao's household were very critical of him. Let's delve into the details to understand why this is the correct answer.

1. Sadao's Background:
Sadao is a wealthy Japanese doctor who lives in a small coastal village. He studied medicine in America and returned to Japan to work as a surgeon. Despite his high social status, Sadao is shown as a compassionate and caring individual.

2. The Servants' Perspective:
The story depicts the servants in Sadao's household as individuals who strongly disapprove of their master's actions. They believe that Sadao's kindness towards the injured American soldier, who washes ashore near their house, is a betrayal of their country and its values. The servants express their criticism openly and vocally, questioning Sadao's loyalty to Japan.

3. Conflict of Loyalties:
The servants' critical attitude towards Sadao stems from their deep-rooted nationalism and loyalty to their country. They view Sadao's decision to help the enemy soldier as a direct defiance of their national identity. Their loyalty to Japan overshadows any gratitude or appreciation they may have towards their master for his kindness and medical expertise.

4. Cultural Context:
To fully understand the servants' perspective, it is important to consider the historical and cultural context of the story. "The Enemy" is set during World War II, a time when Japan was at war with America. The Japanese people were heavily influenced by nationalist propaganda, which emphasized the importance of loyalty and patriotism.

5. Limited Character Development:
It is worth noting that the story does not provide extensive character development for the servants. They are depicted as a collective representation of the general attitude prevalent in Japanese society during the war. Sadao's wife, Hana, is the only character who challenges the servants' critical stance and supports her husband's decision to help the wounded soldier.

In conclusion, the correct answer 'C' reflects the servants' critical attitude towards Sadao due to their strong nationalist beliefs and loyalty to Japan during a time of war.
