Suppose that the yield curve shows that the one year bond yield is 3 percent, the two year bond is 4 percent, and the three year

yield is 5 percent. Assume that the risk premium on the year bond is zero, the risk premium on the two year bond is 1 percent, and the risk premium on the three year bond is 2 percent.
a) What are the expected one year interest rates next year and the following year?

b) If the risk premiums were all zero, as in the expectations hypothesis, what would the slope of the yield curve be?

Allegheny Company ended Year 1 with balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $68,000 and $3450, re
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

  • What amount will Allegheny report as bad debts Expense on its Year 2 income statement?

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 8,250

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 8,250

Explanation:

  • Balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of:

Dr Accounts receivable $ 68,000

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 3,450

 

  • Allegheny write off $6300 of Uncollectible Accounts.  

Dr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 6,300

Cr Accounts receivable $ 6,300

 

  • Allegheny estimates that the ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance should be $5,400  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 8,250

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 8,250

Because the company already has a DEBIT balance ($2,850) in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  

it's necessary to register an entry that COMPENSATE ($8,250) the existing value and reflect the value estimated as bad debts ($5,400 = $8,250-$2,850).  

If the company applies the allowance method, it means that the account Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts must show as balance the % of estimated value.

Bad accounts are those credits granted by the company and there is no possibility of being charged.

"When customers buy products on credits but the company cannot collect the debt, then it's necessary to cancel the unpaid invoice as uncollectible."

One way is to directly cancel bad debts at the time it was decided that the credit is bad, the total amount reported as bad debt expenses negatively affect the income statement and the accounts receivable are reduced by the same amount, less assets .

The other way is to determine a percentage of the total amount of accounts receivable as bad debts, there are many ways to analyze accounts receivable and calculate the value of bad debts.

When the company has the percentage of uncollectible accounts, the required journal entry is Bad Expenses (debit) with Reserve for Bad Accounts (credit)

At the time of cancellation, since the expenses were recognized before, we only use the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Debit)  with accounts receivable (credit), with this we are recognizing the bad credit of the company.

Parker Corporation has a job-order costing system and uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply ma
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Unitary cost= $62.5

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. At the beginning of the year, manufacturing overhead and direct labor-hours for the year were estimated at $50,000 and 20,000 hours.

Materials costs on the job totaled $4,000 and labor costs totaled $1,500 at $5 per hour.

First, we need to determine the allocated MOH:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 50000/20000= $2.5 per direct labor hour

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base= 2.5* (1500/5)= $750

Total cost= 4000 + 1500 + 750= $6,250

Unitary cost= 6250/100= $62.5

den301095 [7]

The spending that would occur during the third round of spending if the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) was 0.6 will be $420 billion.

  • Increase in expenditure = $700 billion.
  • Marginal propensity to consume = 0.6

The amount of spending based on the information given will be:

= 0.6 × $700 billion

= $420 billion.

Therefore, the correct option is $420 billion.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Last semester, Brita bought her textbooks over the Internet and saved a considerable amount of money. Classes start in a few days, and she needs to decide right away how and where to purchase her books. Brita will most likely engage in "limited problem solving" process.

<h3>What is limited problem solving process?</h3>

Limited issue solving is another sort of consumer problem-solving that consumers employ when they need information about unknown brands in well-known product categories or when they make sporadic purchases of goods; it takes a fair amount of time for information collecting and consideration.

The characteristics of limit solving process are-

  • Limited issue solving is employed when consumers seek information about a new brand within a well-known product category or when they occasionally purchase products.
  • When buying a new, expensive, or infrequently purchased goods, consumers engage in lengthy problem solving.
  • Possibly when you need to find out information about an unusual brand in a well-known product area, takes a fair amount of time to gather information.
  • Clothing is one example where it is known the product class but not the brand.

Therefore, in the given case- Brita lacks the time to thoroughly consider all of his alternatives. Additionally, he will likely follow suit this time around given his recent success purchasing books online (unless he waited too long and cannot receive his books in time).
