Answer: 7.24%
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that:
3 years treasury securities have an interest rate = 1.92%
10 years treasury security has an interest rate = 5.62%
Let the 7 year treasury security interest in 3 years be represented by z.
Based on the expectation theory
( 1+1.92%)^3 × (1 + z%)^7 = (1 + 5.62%)^10
(1+0.0192)^3 × (1 + z%)^7 = (1 + 0.0562)^10
(1.0192)^3 (1 + z%)^7 = (1.0562)^10
1.05871(1 + z%)^7 = 1.72767
Divide both side by 1.05871
(1 + z%)^7 = 1.72767/1.05871
(1 + z%)^7= 1.6319
1 + z% = 1.6319^1/7
1 + z% = 1.6319^0.1429
1 + z% = 1.0724
z% = 1.0724 - 1
z% = 0.0724
We then convert the decimal to percentage
z = 7.24%
The market believes that 7-year Treasury securities will be yielding 7.24% in 3 years .

$10,000 - [$6,000 + ($9,000 - $3,000)] = ($2,000). Therefore, nothing is added back.
Things that would cause prices to drop would be the quantity if there is more of that thing the price drops or the value of that thing just drops.
Answer: $4,811
Explanation:
Assuming 6% of outstanding accounts receivable at the end of the current year are estimated to be uncollectible that would be,
= 6% * 98,700
= $5,922
The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts acts as a buffer for the business when bad debts are incurred.
Bad debts are taken from the Allowance as the Allowance has already been removed from the Receivables.
In cases where Bad debts exceed the buffer in the Allowance for Doubtful Debt Account we take everything in it and the remaining bad debt amount is debited to Bad Debt expense.
That would be,
= 5,922 - 1,111
= $4,811
$4,811 is the amount that should be debited to Bad Debts Expense.
