I came across this question and I do not understand the answer. Please help me to better understand this one.

Which one of the following provide a spontaneous source of financing for a firm?

A. Accounts payable
B. Mortgage bonds
C. Accounts receivable
D. Debentures

Because trade credit arises automatically from purchase transactions, it provides a spontaneous source of financing for the firm. Trade credit is represented on the balance sheet of the borrowing firm as Accounts Payable.

I'm tired of operating in fear and mediocrity. It's time to try. It's time to do. It's time to go.

Hello everyone!

I am going over the WC requirements and guidelines for BEC section and was wondering if we can use the exact same wording in introduction and conclusion on all 3 WC(key words different, of course). For instance, if my 1st WC reads “The purpose of this memo if to discuss why the chicken crossed the road” and the 2nd reads “the purpose of this memo if to discuss if the cow can jump over the moon” and both WCs end with exact “,,,please feel free to contact me with questions” type of thing – will they care?
I just feel like I'll be under enough pressure to get the technical and communication parts well, so won't have enough time to search for synonyms in 1st and ending paragraphs…
Thank you!

@user – from my understanding many companies buy the questions for their test bank. Did you already buy Wiley?

Getting confused even at the 11th hour as I failed in my first attempt.

Have purchased NINJA. But i find those questions tough. Basically , reference texts to those questions are from NINJA notes. I do not have them so finding it difficult. There are many concepts in NINJA, which isnt there in Wiley.

At this hour, I am getting confused & tensed.

I am on 2nd chapter for BEC, and I am already lost – so many different variations of calculations. Test on June 6 but feeling very lost and not sure if I can even finish studying all chapters and do review-MCQ Ninja.

Make flashcards as you go for all the formulas. Never too early to start pounding them into your head. I still have my 40 cards from the first time I took BEC

Dear golfball,

plz send across those cards you made.

NINJA not much. But Wiley yes..i have invested time going through question bank & study guide. Eco, FRM I found hard. Only 6 days left. I test BEC on May 9th. Reading each chapter from Wiley study guide & doing MCQ.

But I tend to forget. Thats what dint work out in my first test too. Afraid this time as well

I will find the link that I made the flashcards from since they are physical note cards.

I would start pounding NINJA MCQ's until you have a pounding headache since your method didn't work last time

how I do is..read one chapter from Wiley. Solve questions behind each chapter. Then go to the question bank & solve. I do not see the time in which I complete questions. I trust my speed. Speed is not an issue for me.

NINJA is tough. Equally may be good too. But my concern is NINJA gives reference from NINJA notes which I dont have. & NINJA has extra topics which WIley doesnt. SO when I see that, I think have my efforts gone for a toss by going through Wiley.

Any specific.. way.. I should study this entire week ?

@user – ninja MCQ doesn't refer to ninja notes…it's standalone, if that helps.
