This statement is false. Icarus informs Bruno about "surplus" or "available" money, which is not "owed" to anyone. "To owe money (to a friend)" is to be in your friend's "debt", or to be obliged to pay them money (generally that you have borrowed).
This statement is false. Icarus has not yet detailed his placement and investment strategy to Bruno, however it makes no sense for him to want to put the money in checking accounts, as this is where the money is currently, and the money is not "working" for the company (not acquiring interest). A "checking account" is a bank account from which checks can be written. Generally, these accounts do not generate much interest (financially), and are often linked to debit cards.
This statement is true. Icarus writes that he and his team of accountants have discovered that the company has 1.2 million dollars which isn't currently needed for daily operations, and should be invested or placed.
This statement is false. Icarus informs Bruno that the company has extra cash on hand, which corresponds to the company's available cash or treasury. He makes no mention of "profits", which describe money earned after expenses and costs.

This is incorrect, but it would be a great idea to measure the success of some movies according to the amount of popcorn that is eaten during the film.
This is incorrect. To "gross (a sum of money)" is to earn it before taxes or expenses. We use the term "net" to describe earnings after deductions.
This is correct. A "gross" is a total amount before taxes and expenses, etc. If a film "grosses (100 million dollars)", this refers to the total sales or revenue it makes before deductions such as taxes or expenses.
This is incorrect. The "gross" of a film does not refer to its total production costs.

This is a true statement. Susie tells Steve that it is an "advantage for you to sign a shorter contract" for Ivana Bümbüm, because he will be "in a position to sign a more lucrative deal" later on. Susie then says that this "lucrative deal" will mean "a bigger commission for her agent". "Lucrative" and "profitable" are synonymous terms, both mean "financially productive" or "remunerative".
This is a correct statement. At the end of the conversation, Susie says, "I'll fax over a draft of the contract as soon as I get back to the office." A "draft" is a preliminary (non-final) version of something that may have small details changed later.
This is an incorrect statement. Susie says that Ivana's "last film wasn't exactly a blockbuster. We're just trying to protect ourselves from making a multi-year investment in an actress who has made some questionable decisions". A "blockbuster" is a big film that makes lots of money. A "questionable (decision)" is one which is "controversial" or "uncertain". All this is suggesting that Ivana Bümbüm has made poor career choices in the past.
This is an incorrect statement. Susie says that Delavigne wants to "protect (itself) from making a multi-year investment in an actress who has made some questionable decisions". A "multi-year investment" would last at least one year, and this is something that Delavigne wants to avoid.
This is an incorrect statement. Steve says that she won't accept anything less than 35,000.

This is a true statement. Bruno writes that Delavigne Corp's "market share has grown". A "market share" refers to the percentage of the total sales of a type of product. In this case, Delavigne's market share refers to the total sales compared to the rest of the perfume and cosmetics industry. "To grow" is to get bigger or to increase, for example: Our sales team has grown by 4 employees this year.
This statement is false. Bruno does not include the current state of the economy as a reason for Delavigne's recent financial success.
This statement is false. Bruno refers to the "solid nature of (Delavigne Corp's) business model". This means that the business model is financially secure and safe. Bruno does not say that the company's business model has recently been changed.
This is a true statement. Bruno writes that Delavigne Corp "profits are up" between January 1st and June 30th, meaning that the company has recorded net financial gains in this time. The expression "profits are up" means that the company is gaining money, or that financial gains are increasing.

In the phrase, "the proceeds of the banquet", what is the meaning of the term "proceeds"?
In the phrase, "the proceeds of the banquet", what is the meaning of the term "proceeds"?
Unfortunately, the King of England passed away long ago. This choice doesn't make any sense.
Do not mistake "proceeds" for "profits". "Profits" are the total sales or revenues for a company.
Normally, a keynote speaker does not give money to an organization for the privilege of speaking in front of them.
The "proceeds" (of a sale or an event) refers to the amount of money gathered or earned during the event or sale. The term is often used at fundraising, auctions or charity events where money is raised for a particular purpose.
