If there is a substantial increase in bad debts, what might this mean?

QveST [7]3 years ago

In the case of lending money (for a vehicle or a mortgage for example), this may be an indication of irresponsible lending practices. If there is a substantial increase in bad debts, it means that less creditworthy borrowers (borrowers who are less capable or likely to repay) are obtaining credit too easily.

In the case of bad accounts receivable for a company, there are similar implications, but it also could mean that the inventory that a company is selling is not being sold quickly enough by the retailer. One example could be ToysRUs having overdue accounts due to its partnered toy makers, such as Hasbro. It could be a sign that the demand for the product is not sufficiently high to sell the full amount of purchased inventory, at least when being sold through that retailer.

hodyreva [135]

Answer: $1,000

Explanation:

Given Data;

Total government demand is Q = 800 -10P

marginal cost (Mc) = $50

contracted price (cp) = $70 per unit

Therefore;

Marginal Revenue ( MR ) = Marginal Cost ( MC)

Q = 800 -10P

800 - Q = 10P

Divide through by 10, where Q = 1

800/10 - 1/10 = P

80 - 0.1Q = P

Total Revenue(TR) = PQ

TR = 80 - 0.1Q

MR = MC

where MC = $50

80 - 0.1Q = 50

Collecting like terms

80 - 50 = 0.1Q

30 = 0.1 Q

Divide both side by 0.1

Q = 300

Price would be

P = 80 - 0.1Q

P = 80 - 0.1(300)

P = $50

MC = 40

Producing Q units

Total Cost (TC ) = 40 * ( 300 )

= $12,000

Total profit

= TR - TC

= ( P * Q ) - $12,000

= ( $50 * 300 ) - $12,000

= $15,000 - $12,000

= $3,000

Changes caused by regulations

Contracted price = $70

Quantity = 100Units

TT’ = ( P * Q ) - TC

= ( 70 * 100 ) - ( 50 * 100 )

= $7,000 - $5,000

= $2,000

TT - TT’ = $ ( 3000 - 2000 )

= $1,000

If legislation is passed all profit would reduce by $1,000
