The income statement for the month of February indicates a net income of $17,500. During the same period, $25,500 in cash dividends were paid. Would it be correct to say that the business incurred a net loss of $8,000 during the month

No it does not make a loss rather there was profit of $43,000.

Explanation:

Net income is the profit that a business realises after expenses and other obligations has been removed from revenue.

So Net Income= Revenue - Expenses

Dividends are part of the business profit that was paid to shareholders.

Therefore

Total profit = Net income + Dividends

Total profit= 17,500+ 25,500

Total profit= $43,000

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
