Answer:

a. Forecast (t) = ∝Actual (t-1) +b (1 - ∝) * Forecast (t-1)

= 0.05 * 56 +(1 - 0.05) * 46

= 2.8 + 0.95*46

= 2.8 + 43.7

= 46.5

Forecast for September is 46.5%

b. Forecast(t) = ∝Actual (t-1) + (1-∝)*Forecast(t-1)

= 0.05 * 64 + (1-0.05) * 46.5

= 3.2 + (0.95)*46.5

= 3.2 + 44.175

= 47.375

= 47.40

Forecast for October is 47.40%

Sheridan Company sells merchandise on account for $6400 to Carla Vista Company with credit terms of 2/10, n/30. Block Company re
Aliun [14]

Answer: $4,508

Explanation:

Companies usually give discounts with credit terms to encourage Receivables to pay faster.

In this scenario, credit terms of 2/10, n/30 were offered which means that if Carla Vista Company pays within 10 days they get a discount of 2% but if they don't they should pay the full amount in 30 days.

They paid within the discount period meaning that they qualify for the discount of 2% but they however returned goods worth $1800.

So calculating for that would be,

= (6,400 - 1800) (1 - 0.02)

= $4,508

The amount of the check is $4,508

Mosh, a sole proprietor, uses the cash basis of accounting. At the beginning of the current year, accounts receivable were $25,0
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

b. $100,000

Explanation:

Provided information

Beginning balance of account receivable = $25,000

Collection from customers = $100,000

Ending balance of account receivable = $15,000

Since we have to find out the gross taxable income, so we considered only the collection from customers as this is the amount which is received and therefore, it has come under the gross taxable income i.e $100,000.
