Sage Company has recorded bad debt expense in the past at a rate of 1.5% of accounts receivable, based on an aging analysis. In

2017, Sage decides to increase its estimate to 2%. If the new rate had been used in prior years, cumulative bad debt expense would have been $387,800 instead of $299,000. In 2017, bad debt expense will be $122,400 instead of $91,130. If Sage’s tax rate is 27%, what amount should it report as the cumulative effect of changing the estimated bad debt rate?

Answer:

The cumulative effect of the change in the rate of bad debt will, therefore, be $0.

Explanation:

According to International Accounting Standard 8( IAS 8), any changes in accounting policies (convention, base, principle, etcetera) and period errors are accounted for retrospectively. This means that previous period figures will have to be adjusted.

On the other hand, any changes in estimates are recognized prospectively. This includes reassessment of future benefits and obligations.

From the given information, the change in the rate of bad debt amounts to a change in estimate. As such, the change in this rate will affect the period in which the change took place. That is, 2017 and in future.

The cumulative effect of the change in the rate of bad debt will, therefore, be $0.

Capital gains may be preferred by investors over dividends even if dividends and capital gains are taxed at the same rate becaus
lawyer [7]

Answer: c. taxes on capital gains can be timed

Explanation:

Capital gains represent an appreciation in the value of a security therefore they bring in profit to the owners of that security. Capital gains are not taxed until the owner sells the security which means that these taxes can be timed by the owner who can decide to sell at specific times to reduce their tax bill.

This is different from dividends that are taxed as soon as the company declares them. The investors have no say as to the tax timing so they will prefer capital gains where they have some form of control.

balandron [24]

Answer: 20.99

Explanation:

The optimal bison-killing tax is 20.99

Before the optimal bison-killing tax (per bison) is gotten, we had to calculate the optimum amount of killing first which is represented by b.

After b has been gotten, the value of b was 19.1 and this was slotted into the tax in order to get the value of t.

The analysis and explanation has been attached below

A city government is considering two types of​ town-dump sanitary systems. Design A requires an initial outlay of ​$405 comma 00
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Desing A is a better deal as the equivalent annual cost is lower than desing B

Anywa, bot desing cost are above the city collections thus, it cannot afford the sanitary systems unless it raises taxes

Explanation:

<em><u>Desing A </u></em>

F0 405,000

operating and maintenance cost 51,000 for 14 years

Present value of the operating and maintenance cost:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C = $ 51,000.00

time = 14 years

rate = 0.07

51000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-14} }{0.07} = PV\\

PV $446,018.8673

net worth: $ 851,081.87

equivalent annual cost:

PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\

PV 851,082

time 14

rate 0.07

851081.87 \div \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-14} }{0.07} = C\\

C  $ 97,316.904

<u><em>Desing B</em></u>

F0 251,000

operating and maintenance cost 89,000 for 14 years

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 89,000.00

time 14

rate 0.07

89000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-14} }{0.07} = PV\\

PV $778,346.6507

net worth: $ 1,029,346.65

equivalent annual cost:

1029346.65 \div \frac{1-(1+0.07)^{-14} }{0.07} = C\\

C  $ 117,700.580
