【Answer to question 1】C

【analysis】

C is correct. When a company repurchases its own shares and does not cancel them, they are referred to as treasury shares (or treasury stock). A is incorrect. Preferred shares (or preferred stock), a component of equity, are a type of equity interest, that ranks above common shares with respect to payment of dividends and the distribution of net assets upon liquidation. B is incorrect. Marketable securities are financial assets and include investments in debt or equity securities that are traded in a public market.

【Answer to question 2】A

【analysis】

A is correct. First identify the current assets: cash and equivalents, inventory, and accounts receivable. Then calculate the current ratio (Current assets/Current liabilities) as follows:

Financial Report: treasury stock

An increase in the current ratio (from 0.96 to 1.11) most likely indicates a higher level of liquidity and, therefore, an increased ability to meet short-term obligations.

B is incorrect. It excludes the inventory (confusing current ratio with quick ratio) and appears to have decreased: (1950 + 2,540)/4920 = 0.91.

C is incorrect. It incorrectly double counts the current portion of the long-term debt, which is already included in total current liabilities, so it appears to be unchanged: (5,440/ (4,920 + 720) = 0.964.

成功=時間+方法，自制力是這個等式的保障。世上無天才，高手都是來自刻苦的練習(xí)。而人們經(jīng)常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績，其成績背后無比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習(xí)，即使是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的進(jìn)步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。
