Answer:

Oracle Corporation report as bad debt expense for the year: $118 million

Explanation:

allowance at the end of the year - allowance at the beginning of the year + accounts written off during the year = bad debt expense for the year

$296 million - $323 million + $145 million = $118 million

The accounts written off during the year increase the expense because they are uncollectible so there were removed from a receivable account in the general ledger. The way to do so is:

A credit to Accounts Receivable, and a debit to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Why does a campground at a national park not necessarily count as a public good?
In-s [12.5K]
It does not necessarily count as public good because a camp ground is not a good method of showing importance of the national park as the park is open to the public and should be respected in any means possible as they are open to the public and having it as a campground is not a way of showing its importance.

Joann wants to save for her daughter's education. Tuition costs $10,000 per year in today's dollars. Her daughter was born today
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Joann wants to save for her daughter's education. Tuition costs $10,000 per year in today's dollars. Her daughter was born today and will go to school starting at age 18. She will go to school for 4 years. She can earn 11% on her investments and tuition inflation is 6%.

First, we must find the cost of the tuition for 18 years and so on from now.

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 10,000*(1.06)^18= 28,543.39

Year 2= 28,543.39*1.06= 30,256

Year 3= 30,256*1.06= 32,071.36

Year 4= 32,071.36= 33,995.64

Total= 124,866.39

Now, we can calculate the annual deposit:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (124,966.39*0.11)/[(1.11^18)-1]= $2,479.69

Aspen's Distributors has a levered cost of equity of 13.84 percent and an unlevered cost of capital of 12.5 percent. The company
Reptile [31]

Answer:

8.60%

Explanation:

We use the MM proposition II with taxes

r_e = r_a + \frac{D}{E} (r_a-r_d)(1-t)

ra 0.125

D 5000

E 9600 (14,600 assets = 5,000 liab + equity)

rd ??

taxes 0.34

re 0.1384

We set p the formula and solve:

0.1384 = 0.125 + \frac{5,000}{9,600} (.125-r_d)(1-.34)

0.1384 = 0.125 + \frac{5,000}{9,600} (.125-r_d)(1-.34)

0.1384 - 0.125 = 0.34375 (.125-r_d)

0.0134 = 0.34375\times 0.125 - 0.34375\times r_d

r_d = (0.34375\times 0.125 - 0.0134)\div 0.34375

rd = 0.860181818 = 8.60%
