The allowance for doubtful accounts credited, instead of accounts receivable when recording the adjusting entry for bad debts  Because accounts receivable is made up of numerous client accounts, it cannot be credited unless it is known which particular customer will not pay.

The provision for questionable accounts is referred to as a "counter asset" since it reduces the value of an asset, in this example, the accounts receivable. The compensation, often known as a doubtful account, is management's projection of the amount of accounts receivable that customers will not pay. Let's assume, using the aforementioned example, that on June 30 a business reports an accounts receivable debit balance of $1,000,000. The business predicts that $50,000 will not be converted into cash and expects some consumers won't be able to pay the full amount.

rite a research-based argumentative essay for or against the importance of standing up to an injustice such as bullying.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

It is important to stand up to bullying for a number of reasons. You may think it's better to not get involved but staying neutral always helps the oppressor. You should not let someone suffer and watch as someone else puts them in physical or psychological pain every day, it is good to stand up for what is right. You may even make a life-long best friend. So stand up for what's right and don't stay neutral so the oppressor can continue to victimize someone.

​Lithium, Inc. is considering two mutually exclusive​ projects, A and B. Project A costs​ $95,000 and is expected to generate​ $
Flauer [41]

Answer: The internal rate of return for project A is $26,074.38

Explanation:

Using the formula

R1/(1+K)^1 R2/(1+K)^2+ - - - Rn/(1+K)^n -

C =0

Where C = capital outlay, K=Rate of interest, R=Net cash flow

Given that K=10%, (10/100)=0.1 R1=$65,000, R2=$75,000 C =$95,000

Project A

65,000/(1+0.1)^1 + 75,000/(1+0.1)^2 - 95,000

65,000/(1.1)^1 +75,000/(1.1)^2 - 95,000

59090.91 + 61983.47 - 95,000

121074.38 - 95000

= $26,074.38

Project B

R1=$64,000, R2=$67,000,R3=$56,000, R4=$45,000 C =$120,000

64,000/(1+0.1)^1+ 67,000/(1+0.1)^2+ 56,000/(1+0.1)^3 + 45,000/(1+0.1)^4 - 120,000

64,000/(1.1)^1 + 67,000/(1.1)^2 + 56,000/(1.1)^3 + 45,000/(1.1)^4 - 120,000

58181.82 + 55371.90 + 42073.63 + 30735.61 - 120,000

= 186362.96 - 120,000

= $66,362.96
