Answer:
The ending balance in the Allowance for Bad Debts is 20,500 CREDIT
Explanation:
The ending balance of Allowance for bad debts would be the 2.5% of sales
The adjustment is made to get the allowance for Bad Debt match the estimate uncollectible ammounts.
Notice it state <em>"company adjusted for bad debt expense"</em>
This means<u> it debit this account as much as it needed to be</u> to make allowance match the estimate allowance.
The write-off are transaction durign the period. They are irrelevant
So the ending balance is:
<em>2.5% of credit sales of 820,000 = $20,500</em>
It is important to remember that <u>Allowance is a counter-asset account</u>. His <em>normal balance is credit</em>, so the<u> final balance is credit.</u>
Answer:
$44,100
Explanation:
Larry Bar
Investment in Cash - Receptionist's salary+Sales of custom frame = Cash account balance
Investment in Cash $40,800
Paid $2,000 Receptionist's salary $2,000
Sales of custom frame $5,300
Hence:
$40,800-$2,000+$5,300
=$44,100
Cash account balance will be $44,100
Your money will double in approximately 11 years and quadruple in approximately 22.
Use the Rule of 72 for doubling (72/interest rate= number of years to double) and the Rule of 144 to quadruple (144/interest rate= number of years to quadruple).
Answer:
Alpha for A is 1.40%; Alpha for B is -0.2%.
Explanation:
First, we use the CAPM to calculate the required returns of the two portfolios A and B given the risks of the two portfolios( beta), the risk-free return rate ( T-bill rate) and the Market return rate (S&P 500) are given.
Required Return for A: Risk-free return rate + Beta for A x ( Market return rate - Risk-free return rate) = 5% + 0.7 x (13% - 5%) = 10.6%;
Required Return for A: Risk-free return rate + Beta for B x ( Market return rate - Risk-free return rate) = 5% + 1.4 x (13% - 5%) = 16.2%;
Second, we compute the alphas for the two portfolios:
Portfolio A: Expected return of A - Required return of A = 12% - 10.6% = 1.4%;
Portfolio B: Expected return of B - Required return of B = 16% - 16.2% = -0.2%.
Answer:
A.overstate; substitution
Explanation:
Consumer Price Index (CPI): is a measure that examines the weighted average of prices of consumer goods and services, such as transportation, food, and medical care. It is calculated by taking the average of the price changes for each item in the predetermined goods. Changes in the CPI are used to assess price changes associated with the cost of living therefore the CPI is used economist for identifying periods of inflation or deflation.
when we say the CPI overstate inflation; it is because of:
Substitution bias (when the price of a product in the consumer basket increases substantially, consumers tend to substitute lower-priced alternatives; Therefore, it tends to overstate inflation due to a lack of accountability
) and;
Quality bias (over time, technological advances increase the life and usefulness of products).
