Answer: The following journal entries apply:

a) Debit Bad debt expense                                    $32,727.6  

  Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts            $32,727.6

b) Debit Bad debt expense                                    $37,017.6  

  Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts            $37,017.6

Explanation: All the sales revenue are on credit to the tune of $806,700, however, there was sales return and allowance of $51,060, which has to be deducted from credit sales to arrive at the net credit sales of $755,640. This amount would be added to the accounts receivable of $132,800 to arrive at the total accounts receivable of $888,440.

a) 4% of $888,440 is $35,537.6. With credit balance of $2,810 in allowance for doubtful accounts, bad debt expense (addition) is $32,727.6  ($35,537.6 - $2,810).

b) 4% of $888,440 is $35,537.6 and there is a debit balance of $1,480 in allowance for doubtful accounts, bad debt expense (to reinstate allowance account to $35,537.6) is $37,017.6 ($35,537.6 + $1,480).

Why are financial intermediaries willing to engage in information collection activities when investors in financial instruments
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

C. Banks make private​ loans; their conclusions on who is creditworthy are not made public.

Explanation:

Investors in financial instruments who engage in information collection face a free-rider problem, which means other investors may be able to benefit from their information without paying for it.

Individual investors, therefore, have inadequate incentives to devote resources to gather information about borrowers who issue securities.

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

The  value of the stock is $28.57

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Dividend paid at the end of the year, D1 = $2.00 per share

Increase in dividend = $1.50 per share

Growth rate, g = 5% = 0.05

Required rate of return = 12% = 0.12

Now,

Price with constant Dividend Growth model = D1 ÷ ( r - g )

= $2 ÷ ( 0.12 - 0.05 )

= $28.57

Hence,

The  value of the stock is $28.57

All interest rates in the economy are set by the federal reserve. true or false
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Most interest rates in the economy are not set by federal reserve. For example, banks decide what interests to pay different kind of deposits and charge loans of different risks on their own (with consideration for competition and profitability).

What the Fed does is set important rates (discount rate and funds rate) that influence other interest rates in the economy.
