Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Accounts receivables = $1,500,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts = $90,000
Expected uncollectibles = $125,000
The collection of accounts receivables after the adjustment for bad debt expense is determined by deducting the expected uncollectibles from the total amount of accounts receivables.
Accounts receivable amount expected to be collected after adjustment for bad debt expense:
= Accounts receivables - Expected uncollectibles
= $1,500,000 - $125,000
= $1,375,000
Answer:
-2.23%
Explanation:
The formula to compute the cost of common equity under the DCF method is shown below:
= Current year dividend ÷ price + Growth rate
In first case,
The current dividend would be
= $0.85 + $0.85 × 5%
= $0.85 + $0.0425
= $0.8925
The other things would remain the same
So, the cost of common equity would be
= $0.8925 ÷ $20 + 5%
= 0.044625 + 0.05
= 9.46%
In second case,
The price would be $40
The other things would remain the same
So, the cost of common equity would be
= $0.8925 ÷ $40 + 5%
= 0.0223125 + 0.05
= 7.23%
The difference would be
= 7.23% - 9.46%
= -2.23%
Answer: 15 million people were employed.
Explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to multiply the adult population (25,000,000) by the labor-force participation percentage in decimal form (divided by 100).
Mathematically speaking:
25,000,000 x (60/100) = 25,000,000 x 0.6 = 15,000,000 people
15 million people were employed.
