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

QveST [7]3 years ago
6 0
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.

Almost all tasks in a project will be connected using either _____ or _____ dependencies.Select an answer:a)start-to-finish; fin
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

c) finish-to-start; start-to-start

Explanation:

Project dependencies are the time relationships between a predecessor and a successor in project management. In other words, these dependencies describe which activity among the two needs to start earlier or later and when it needs to start or finish compared to the other one.

The most common type of dependency in all projects (no matter the nature or industry) is the finish-to-start one, where the activity A needs to be completed before activity B starts, e.g. base nail polish has to be put before the top coat gets put on the nails.

The second most common type of dependency is the<em> start-to-star</em>t one, where two activities need to start at the same time. This is common for activities where synchronization is paramount.

Used board feet of timber = 1,600,000

Units of product Depletion

= $1,140,000/6,000,000 * 1,600,000

= $304,000

December 31, Goodwill impairment

= $1,110,000

April 3 Patent:

MGM Resorts Incorporated is expected to grow at an exceptionally high rate over the next 2 years due to the success of Macau cas
Burka [1]

Answer:

The value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today will be $16.42

Explanation:

In order to calculate the value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today we would have to calculate the following steps:

Step-1, Dividend for the next 2 years

Dividend per share in Year 0 (D0) = $1.20 per share

Dividend per share in Year 1 (D1) = $1.4400 per share [$1.20 x 120%]

Dividend per share in Year 2 (D2) = $1.7280 per share [$1.4400 x 120%]

Step-2, Share Price in Year 2

Dividend Growth Rate after Year 2 (g) = 4.00% per year

Required Rate of Return (Ke) = 14.00%

Share Price in Year 2 (P2) = D2(1 + g) / (Ke – g)

= $1.7280(1 + 0.04) / (0.14 – 0.04)

= $1.7971 / 0.10

= $17.97 per share

Step-3, The Current Stock Price

As per Dividend Discount Model, Current Stock Price the aggregate of the Present Value of the future dividend payments and the present value the share price in year 2

Year      Cash flow ($)        PVF at 14.00%           Present Value of cash flows ($)

                                                                             [Cash flows x PVF]

1            1.4400                   0.877193                           1.26

2           1.7280                  0.769468                          1.33

2            17.97                   0.769468                          13.83

TOTAL   16.42

Hence, the value of a share of MGM Resorts stock today will be $16.42
