Answer:

The bad debts expense for 2015 would be $ 28,000

Explanation:

The balance of the allowance for doubtful account should be equal to the amount estimated to be uncollectible based on the ageing analysis

Estimated uncollectible account                                                 $ 31,000

Allowance for doubtful accounts prior to adjustment               <u>$   3,000</u>

Bad debts expense for the year to be recorded                    <u> $ 28,000</u>

The accounting entry to record this is as follows:

Bad debts expense                                          Debit               $ 28,000

Allowance for uncollectible accounts            Credit                               $ 28,000

Yeager Corporation has used regression analysis to perform price elasticity analysis. In doing so management regressed the quant
Olegator [25]

Answer:

b). 72.458 %

a). 24, 213

Explanation:

1). The second option i.e. 72.458% correctly measures the variance percentage brought in the dependent variable(regressed the quantity demanded) by manipulating the independent variable(price elasticity). The first option is wrong as it shows R multiple which is rather the coefficient. The third and the last options are incorrect as they display the intercept employed to determine the quantity and the key error of calculating the standard deviation.

2). The predicted quantity demanded would be 24,213 if the price is fixed at $7.00.

It can be calculated using the formula;

Quantity demanded = Intercept + (Adjusted R squared * Price coefficient)

∵ Quantity Demanded = 56,400.50 + (7 X -4,598.2)

= 24,213

Today, you have two coins each of which is valued at $100. One coin is expected to appreciate by 5.2 percent annually while the
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

=$337.43

Explanation:

The value of each of the coins after 50 years is the future value after 50 years at their respective interest rate.

The formula for  future value is FV = PV × (1+r)n

For the first coin at 5.2 percent,

Fv = 100 x ( 1 + 5.2/100 ) 50

Fv =100 x (1+ 0.052) 50

Fv = 100 x 12. 61208795

Fv = $1,261. 21

For the second coin at 5.7 percent,

Fv = 100 x (1 + 5.7 /100)50

Fv =100 x (1 + 0.057 )50

Fv = 100 x 15.98

Fv = 1, 598. 64

the difference in value will be

=$1598.64 - $1,261.21

=$337.43

algol [13]

Answer:

824.28

Explanation:

Market price of a bond is the total sum of discounted coupon cashflow and par value at maturity. This is a 4-year bond with semi-annual payment so there will be 8 coupon payment in total. Let formulate the bond price as below:

Bond price = [(Coupon rate/2) x Par]/(1 + Required return/2) + [(Coupon rate/2) x Par]/(1 + Required return/2)^2 + ... + [(Coupon rate/2) x Par + Par]/(1 + Required return/2)^8

Putting all the number together, we have

Bond price = [(4.5%) x 1000]/(1 + 7.5%) + [(4.5%) x 1000]/(1 + 7.5%)^2 + ... + [(4.5%) x 1000 + 1000]/(1 + 7.5%)^8

                  = 824.28
