Why do lenders use your utilities payment history to approve credit?

Business

There is more than one reason, but there are two main things they are looking at.  They need to see if you are paying on time.  The payment history will show if you get behind or not.  And because a utility bill is similar to a loan payment, because you have to pay it or you lose your services, they see how responsible you are by checking that.  The second major reason they do this is to see what your debt is already.  They want to make sure you can afford, with all your bills, to pay them back.

Yuliya22 [10]

Showing the effects of transactions on the accounting equation:

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

May 1:

Assets (Cash + $15,000) = Liabilities + Equity (Common Stock + $15,000)

May 2:

Assets (Cash - $600) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings - $600)

May 3:

Assets (Supplies +$500) = Liabilities (Accounts Payable +$500) + Equity

May 5:

Assets (Cash - $150) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings - $150)

May 9:

Assets (Cash + $1,400) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings + $1,400)

May 12:

Assets (Cash - $200) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings - $200)

May 15:

Assets (Accounts Receivable +$4,200) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings +$4,200)

May 17:

Assets (Cash - $2,500) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings - $2,500)

May 20:

Assets (Cash -$500) = Liabilities (Accounts Payable -$500) + Equity

May 23:

Assets (Cash +$1,200 Accounts Receivable -$1,200) = Liabilities + Equity

May 26:

Assets (Cash +$5,000) = Liabilities (Notes Payable +$5,000) + Equity

May 29:

Assets (Cash -$200 Equipment +$2,000) = Liabilities (Accounts Payable +$1,800) + Equity

May 30:

Assets (Cash - $180) = Liabilities + Equity (Retained Earnings - $180)

Explanation:

The accounting equation shows that Assets = Liabilities + Equity.  This equation is the basis of the double-system of accounting. It is always in balance when each transaction is correctly posted.  The implication is that every business transaction affects, in two ways, either the assets side or the liabilities and equity side or both.

Answer:

Estimate Value of a share= $71.81

Explanation:

<em>The value of a share can be determined using the price earning  ratio model. According to this model, the price of a share is estimated as the EPS of the company multiplied by a representative P/E ratio.</em>

Value of share = EPS × P/E

The appropriate P/E ratio would be that of a similar operator in the same industry, in this case , Jones Soda.

Hence the estimate value of share =2.04 × 35.2=71.81

Estimate Value of a share= $71.81

The College Bookstore sells a unique calculator to college students. The demand for this calculator has a normal distribution wi
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mean daily demand, M = 20 calculators per day

Standard deviation, SD = 4 calculators per day

Lead time for this calculator, L = 9 days

z-critical value (for 95% in-stock probability) = 1.65 (From z tables)

Normal consumption during lead-time:

= Mean daily demand × Lead time

= 20 × 9

= 180 units of calculator

Safety Stock = z value × SD × L^(0.5)

                     = 1.65 × 4 × (9)^(0.5)

                     = 1.65 × 4 × 3

                     = 19.8 units

Reorder Point = Normal consumption during lead-time + Safety Stock

                        = 180 units  + 19.8 units

                        = 199.8 or 200 units (Approx)
