Answer: Please see the required journals below:
December 31:
Debit Bad debt expense $6,034
Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $6,034
February 1:
Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts $431
Credit Accounts receivables $431
June 5:
Debit Cash $431
Credit Bad debt recovery (income statement) $431
Explanation: The company estimates its bad debt expense as percentage of sales. In this case 0.7% of its annual sales of $862,000 was deemed as uncollectible, that is, 0.7% x $862,000 = $6,034. The required journals to recognize this bad debt expense is provided above. However, since there was an existing provision, which resides in the allowance account, a write-off would definitely hit that account in order to extinguish the accounts receivable portion. Upon recovery of the write-off, we cannot reinstate the receivable since it was already extinguished but we need to recognize the recovery as a gain.

The answer is d. payment to hire a security worker to guard the gate to the factory around the clock.
Explanation:
Let re-visit to the concept of Fixed cost before applying to the questions.
Fixed costs are costs which are unchanged given changes in production level.
a. payment to a electric utility is not fixed cost because higher level of production required higher electricity consumption which leads to higher cost of electricity.
b. cost of raw material is not fixed cost because the higher the production level, the higher the raw material required for production.
c. wages to hire assembly line workers is not fixed cost because the higher the production level, the more workers required and the higher the wages will be.
d. payment to hire a security worker to guard the gate to the factory around the clock is fixed cost because regardless of the production level, the security worker will work for the same amount of time and receive the same level of payment as his workload is much likely to remain the same.
So, d is the correct choice.

Answer: 10 years to call
Explanation:
Maturity period = 25 years
Coupon rate = 7%
6.25% basis is,
- Callable in 10 years at 103
- Callable in 15 years at 102
- Callable in 20 years at par
This bond is considered as premium bond. Therefore, in case of premium bonds, Yield to call will be lower than the yield to maturity. Here, the question is which call date should be utilized. According to the rule of thumb, it states that always use the term that is nearest to the whole call date.
Hence, on the customer's confirmation, the dollar price quoted must be based on 10 years to call.

- ADEA which protects people who are older than 40 years old against discrimination based on their age.
Parker should first address this issue with the company and see how it can work out. It is very difficult for someone to win a lawsuit if they don't fall under any protected category. In this case, Parker's colleagues are jealous because he is simply smarter and that is the reason why they are harassing him. I guess that if he can prove with a psychiatrist report that the continuous harassment is affecting his well being, he might have a chance.
I knew a case from first hand about a very beautiful woman who had two careers and was very smart and efficient. She wasn't harassed by men, most men at the office only starred at her and wouldn't dare to talk to her. She was harassed by other women that were jealous about her beauty and the fact that she was probably the smartest person around. Besides everybody knowing that the other women were jealous, and everyone making jokes about who was most jealous, she couldn't do anything about it. She ended up quitting the job and to be honest her life got much better at another place. Sometimes an organization's culture is managed by one or two individuals, and if they feel threatened by someone else, they may act in a very childish way and the rest follows.
