Answer:
The use of the allowance method of accounting for bad debts.
Explanation:
We use the allowance method to match the expected ad debt with the sales or account receivables which generates.
As sales of a givne month can be declared uncollectible after several month using a direct method we are putting the burden of the uncollectible in another accounting period while leaving the one which did that sale untouched.
The allowance makesthe expense in the same time period thus, it follows the recognition principle.
Answer:
Maple Leaf, Inc.
Inventory Turnover:
b. Greater than 2 but less than 3
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
1) Average inventories:
Raw materials $2,500,000
Work-in-process $1,000,000
Finished goods $800,000
Total average inventory $4,300,000
Cost of goods sold = $12,000,000
Inventory Turnover = Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory
= $12,000,000/$4,300,000
= 2.79 times
2) Inventory turnover is a financial ratio that shows the number of times in a year that inventory has been sold by Maple Leaf, Inc. When it divides the number of days, say 360 days in a year, the ratio that comes out shows the number of days it takes Maple to sell its inventories.
Answer:
$50.47
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = - ($678 + $58 ) = -736
Cash flow in year 1 - 4 = $173
Cash flow in year 5 = $173 + $144
I = 8.1
NPV = 50.47
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Answer:
17.76%
Explanation:
The computation of the time-weighted return on your investment is given below
But before that we have to do the following calculations
Year 1 = ($46.50 - $42.50) + 2 ÷ ($42.50) × 100 = 14.12%
Year 2 = ($54.50 - $46.50) + 2 ÷ ($46.50) × 100 = 21.51%
Now the time weighted return is
(1 + t)^2 = (1 + 14.12%) × (1 + 21.51%)
= 1.1412 × 1.2151
= √1.3867 - 1
= 17.76%
