Answer:

Investment in stock C is $122450.3311 rounded off to $122450.33

Explanation:

A portfolio which is equally as risky as market should have a beta equal to the beta of the market as beta is a measure of the riskiness. The beta of market is always equal to 1. The formula for beta of a portfolio is as follows:

Portfolio beta = wA * Beta A + wB * Beta B + ... + wN * Beta N

Where w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolio.

Let investment in stock C be x

1 = 146000/500000 * 0.91 + 134000/500000 * 1.36 + x/500000 * 1.51

1 = 0.26572  +  0.36448 + 1.51x / 500000

1 - 0.6302 = 1.51x / 500000

0.3698 * 500000 = 1.51x

1844900 / 1.51 = x

x = $122450.3311 rounded off to $122450.33

Answer:

Bad Debts (Dr.)                                               $18,000

                              Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (Cr.)          $18,000

Explanation:

When the management expects that it will not be able to collect a certain amount of receivable, it records Bad Debts in the Profit or Loss and a Credit entry to it is charged to contra-asset account known as "Allowance for Doubtful Accounts". It should be kept in mind that, at this stage it is only the expectation of management that the receivable from customers will not be collected. When the management is certain about the default of customer, it write-offs the Receivables. This is done by debiting Allowance for Doubtful Account and crediting Accounts Receivables. Write-off has no impact on the Net Realizable Value (Accounts Receivables - Allowance for Doubtful Account).

Thanks!

It could invade the privacy of the shopper when trying things on. All of the actions the customer does is being recorded, not to mention the customer has no idea who exactly is monitoring the cameras, and how many people have access to it. It could become a serious problem.
