Answer:
17%
Explanation:
The actual return which stockholder receives on the average common equity is return on common stockholder's equity.
Return on Common Stockholder Equity = (Net Income - Preferred dividend) / Average common stockholders equity
Return on Common Stockholder Equity = ($298,000 - (10,000 x $100 x 6%) / ( ( $1,200,000 + $1,600,000 ) / 2 )
Return on Common Stockholder Equity = ($298,000 - $60,000) / $1,400,000
Return on Common Stockholder Equity = 0.17 = 17%
Answer:
40 students
Explanation:
The cost of the bus is $480
For x students, the cost of each ticket will be 35 - 0.30x
The total cost of the tickets for x students will be x(35 - 0.30x)
To find the number of students that will make the cost per student equal to $33, we solve for x:
<u>480+ x(35 - 0.30x)</u> =35
x
480+ x(35 - 0.30x<u>)</u> = 35x
480 + 35x - 0.30x² = 35x
480 = 0.30x²
1,600 = x²
40 = x
The cost per student will be $35 if the number of students is 40; it will be less than $35 if the number of students is greater than 40.

Answer:
Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)
Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)
Explanation:
This is an example of provision for doubtful debts. Provision for doubtful debts is an estimated amount of bad debts from accounts receivables that has been issues but not yet collected. This is done under the accrual accounting concept where an expense is identified as soon as invoices have been issued rather than waiting long periods to find out which invoice is irrecoverable. It is typically an estimate based on past experience.
In this question, the sales value has not been provided, hence an assumption is made:
Sales : $200,000
If provision for doubtful debts is 1% of sales and all sales is on credit, then the provision for doubtful debts amount is = 1% x $200,000 = $2000
Provision for doubtful debts is an accounts receivable contra account and thus has a credit balance and is recorded in the balance sheet, listed directly under accounts receivables.
The entry is recorded as:
Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)
Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)
