Answer:

B. Scenario analysis

Explanation:

Just like the name implies, it involves the analysis or description of various possible outcomes/action/events in the future. It is the process of analyzing future event by considering alternative possible outcomes.

It estimates the expected events.

After the failures suffered by PPG, they thought it better to use a technique that predicts possible occurence in order to avoid a repetition of those failures.

pentagon [3]

Answer: Bad Debt Expense 28,000 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 28,000

Explanation:

Account receivable = 300,000

Percentage uncollectible = 10%

Current balance = 2000

Adjustment to allowance for uncollectible accounts is given by :

(Account receivable ×percentage uncollectible) - current balance

(300,000 × 10%) - 2000

(300,000 × 0.1) × 2000

30,000 - 2000 = 28,000

Therefore, adjustment should be :

bad debt expense debit 28,000

allowance for doubful account credit 28,000

Stolb23 [73]

Based on the metrics given, we can say that shipping errors were <u>not very impactful </u>on customer questions.

<h3>Relationships between metrics</h3>
  • Customer questions kept rising by 2% from the first month till the third month.
  • Shipping errors (shipped incorrectly) rose by 2% from the first to the second month and then stayed constant.

What we then realize is that even though questions kept rising, shipping errors only rose once which means that shipping errors did not account for much of customer questions. If it did, the customer questions would have stayed constant as well.

In conclusion, shipping errors were not very impactful.
