Answer:

A. $2,800

Explanation:

When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.  

To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.

Amount assessed to be uncollectible

= 4% × $90,000

= $3,600

Additional Amount to be allowed for

= $3,600 - $800

= $2,800

This will be posted as debit to bad debt and a credit to allowance for doubtful debts account.

katovenus [111]

Answer:

4.62%

Explanation:

we need to calculate the yield to maturity of the bond:

YTM = [coupon + (face value - market value)/n] / [(face value + market value)/2]

  • coupon = $50
  • face value = $1,000
  • market value = $1,078
  • n = 38 semiannual payments

YTM = [$50 + ($1,000 - $1,078)/38] / [($1,000 + $1,078)/2]

YTM = $47.95 / $1,039 = 4.615 ≈ 4.62%

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is Duty of loyalty.

Explanation:

The corporate sphere bears an important analogy with the contractual one, in the sense that in both the agreements of the parties and the provisions of the law must be fulfilled, that is, there is a duty of loyalty of the partners and a duty of loyalty of the administrators. However, any action carried out by a subject, over and above private covenants or regulatory provisions, must follow a standard of conduct that imposes a certain ethical behavior in legal relationships, that of good faith.

Therefore, and without delving into the normative level, noting that behaving under the strict principle of good faith with society would be the partner's main duty. Here it is possible to know the concrete scope of this principle as a source of special duties for the parties in the corporate sphere. Thus, a duty-generating principle is derived from it: cooperation, information and protection.
