Answer:

The answer is:

More accounts have been written off than had been estimated

Explanation:

Doubtful debt or bad debt is an expense. According to the rule of accounting, debit increases an expense while debit decreases an expense.

So the debit balance balance in allowance for doubtful accounts tells us that there is an increase in expense which means that more accounts(bad debt) have been written off.

So we can infer from the debit balance that more accounts have been written off than had been estimated

You observe the following term structure: Effective Annual YTM 1-year zero-coupon bond 5.2 % 2-year zero-coupon bond 5.3 3-year

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. If you believe that the term structure next year will be the same as today’s, calculate the return on (i) the 1-year zero and (ii) the 4-year zero.

b. Which bond provides a greater expected 1-year return? O 1-year zero-coupon bond O 4-year zero-coupon bond

The return on one year bond is = 5.2%

The price of 4 year bond today

$=\frac{ 1000}{ (1.055)^4}$

Price of 4 year bond today = 807.22

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be

$=\frac{ 1000}{(1.054)^3}$

If yield curves is unchanged, the bond will have 3-year maturity and price will be = 854.04

Return

$=\frac{ (854.04 - 807.22)}{807.22}$

Return = 5.8%

The longer term bond has given the higher return in this case at it's YTM fell during the holding period(4 -year)

"Since transfer payments by government are not associated with the production of goods and services, they are not included in G

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

The transfer payment comprises of both a donor as well as a receiver, with the sender giving up something that is of worth and receiving anything in return, unlike the swap agreement that equally benefits all the parties concerned.

Transfer payments cover Social Security, Medicaid, unemployment compensation, social programs and assistance. They should not be added in GDP, as they are not payments for goods or services, but rather ways to distribute money for social purposes.
