  • With all these entries registered the final balance of the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  it's as follows:

Answer:

  • For the year ended December 31, Orr’s uncollectible accounts expense is

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 10.000

Explanation:

  • The initial balance of the account was as follows:

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 28.000

  • Accounts written off as uncollectible during the year 23,000 , it means that part of the balance of the account, "Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts" was used to record the written-off accounts, this movement had a negative impact in the Accounts Receivable.

Dr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 23.000  

Cr Accounts Receivable                    $ 23.000

  • During the year, the company recovered part of the canceled accounts, which means that part of that amount was collected, so it is necessary to reverse the previously registered entry.

Dr Accounts Receivable                                $ 5.000  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 5.000

  • With all these entries registered, the final balance of the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  is as follows as credit balance:

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 10.000

Accounts Uncollectible are those credit that the company give and there are not chances of been collected.

When the customers buy products on credits but then the company can't collect the debt, then it's necessary  to write off the unpaid bill as uncollectible .

One way it's to write-off directly the bad debts at the moment decided that the credit are uncollectible, the total amount  it's reported as bad debt expenses which affect negativly the income statement and the accounts receivable are reduced in the same amount, less assets.

The other way it's to determine a percentage of total amount of accounts receivables as uncollectible, exist many ways to analize the accounts receivable and figure the value of uncollectible.

When the company have the percentage of uncollectible accounts the journal entry required is Bad Expenses (debit) with Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (credit)

At the moment of the write-off as the expenses were before recognized we only use the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Debit) with Accounts Receivable (Credit), with this we are recognizing the uncollectible credit of the company.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Mr. Manning

a. YHA is the best expected value decision with an expected value of $59,766.

b. HTC is the worst expected value decision.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Stock    Market Rising    Market Stable    Market Falling

SUA          $68,082              $47,373              $36,362

YSP           $64,850             $49,320              $44,865

HTC           $57,198             $52,949              $50,605

YHA          $59,766             $59,766              $59,766

Expected Value:

Stock     Market Rising    Market Stable    Market Falling   Expected Value

Probability    60%                   30%                   10%

SUA          $68,082*60%   $47,373*30%    $36,362*10%     =  $58,697

YSP          $64,850*60%   $49,320*30%    $44,865*10%     =     58,163

HTC          $57,198*60%   $52,949*30%    $50,605*10%     =   55,264

YHA         $59,766*60%   $59,766*30%    $59,766*10%     =   59,766

SUA = $40,849.20 + $14,211.90 + $3,636.20 = $58,697.30

YSP = $38,880 + $14,796 + $4,486.50 = $58,162.50

HTC = $34,318.80 + $15,884.70 + $5,060.50 = $55,264

YHA = $35,859.60 + $17,929.80 + $5,976.60 = $59,766

Derrick Iverson is a divisional manager for Holston Company. His annual pay raises are largely determined by his division’s retu
almond37 [142]

Answer:

a. Project's net present value is $1,015,163.09

b. Simple rate of return is 15%

c. Yes. The reason is that the project has a positive net present value of $1,015,163.09.

d. No. The reason is that the simple rate of return of 15% obtained in part b is lower the division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years.

Explanation:

a. Compute the project's net present value.

To compute this, we first calculate the annual cash inflow as follows:

Annual cash inflow = Net operating income + Depreciation = $452,000 +  $828,000 = $1,,280,000

Now, the project's net present value can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value of the annual cash flow = ?

P = Annual cash inflow = $1,280,000

r = Discount rate = 17%, or 0.17

n = Equipment useful years = 5

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $1,280,000 * [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.17)]^5} / 0.17]

PV = $4,095,163.09

Project's net present value = PV - Project's initial investment = $4,095,163.09 - $3,080,000 = $1,015,163.09

b. Compute the project's simple rate of return

This can be computed as follows:

Simple rate of return = Net operating income / Initial investment =  $452,000 / $3,080,000 = 0.15, or 15%

c. Would the company want Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity?

Yes. The reason is that the project has a positive net present value of $1,015,163.09.

Note that had it been the net present value of the project was negative, the company would not want to Derrick to pursue this investment opportunity since the decision of the company is based on whether the project's NPV is positive or negative.

d. Would Derrick be inclined to pursue this investment opportunity?

No. The reason is that the simple rate of return of 15% obtained in part b is lower the division’s return on investment (ROI), which has been above 20% each of the last three years.

Pursuing this investment opportunity will therefore reduce the Overall ROI of the division and Derrick will not get annual pay raises if this happens.
