13, it says it in the question
Answer:
$320,000 or $0.32 million
Explanation:
In accounting, the percentage of bad debt expenses is applied to the outstanding accounts receivable at the end of a particular accounting period.
In the question, the end of the accounting period is given as December 31 and the outstanding accounts receivable as at that December 31 is a total of $6.40 million. Therefore, we will disregard other values and simply apply 5% to the the outstanding accounts receivable of $6.40 million as at that December 31 as follows:
Bad debt = Outstanding accounts receivable × 5%
= $6.40 million × 5%
= $6,400,000 × 5%
= $320,000
Therefore, the amount of bad debt expense to recognized for the year is $320,000 or $0.32 million.
Profit maximization is often considered inappropriate by a firms stakeholders (like the government or the company's employees) other than shareholders because stakeholders have more of an embedded, and oftentimes less-financial interest in the company than shareholders, who can invest in a company without really caring much about what the company does. Profit maximization usually involves risk, which can be riskier for the stakeholder than the shareholder.
Every month or so but I typically check every two weeks.
Answer:
A) 9458 units
B) She would prefer the one with the single lump payment of $35,000 because the present value of the other one would increase with an increase in the units sold.
Explanation:
A) To calculate the uniform annual sales volume based on a present worth analysis, we will make use of the formula for present value of annuity.
Thus;
P = PMT × (1 - ((1/(1 - rⁿ))/r
From the question, we are given;
P = $35,000
PMT = (1200 + 0.4x)
r = 7% = 0.07
n = 10
Thus, Plugging in the relevant values, we have;
(1200 + 0.4x)((1 - (1/(1 + 0.07)^10))/0.07 = 35000
This gives;
(1200 + 0.4x) × 7.0236 = 35000
(1200 + 0.4x) = 35000/7.0236
(1200 + 0.4x) = 4983.2
0.4x = 4983.2 - 1200
0.4x = 3783.2
x = 3783.2/0.4
x = 9458 units
B) She would prefer the one with the single lump payment of $35,000 because the present value of the other one would increase with an increase in the units sold.
