Answer:

a. Bad Debt Expense 5100 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 5100

Explanation:

The adjusting entry is shown below:

Bad debt expense $5,100

       To Allowance for doubtful debts $5,100

(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

= Account receivable × estimated percentage - credit balance of allowance for doubtful debts

= $170,000 × 5% - $3,400

= $8,500 - $3,400

= $5,100

In order to recording this transaction, we debited the bad debt expense as it increases the expenses account whereas at the same time it reduces the account receivable therefore the allowance for doubtful debts is credited

A deposit of $1000 at 4% interest compounded continuously will grow to v(t) = 1000 e^0.04 dollars after t year. Find the average
elixir [45]

Answer: 20,816.215

Explanation:

Given that:

A deposit of $1000 at 4% interest compounding is defined by the growth function:

v(t) = 1000e^0.04t

Where t = number of years.

Find the average value during the first 40 years (that is, from time 0 to time 40.)

(That is t = 0,...,40)

For ease, we can use a python list comprehension to get our values.

v = [1000*2.7182818**0.04*t for t in range(41)]

V gives a list of the value of the deposit from year 0 till 40 years after the deposit.

Average = sum of compounding deposits / number of years

Sum of compounding deposits = sum(v) = $853464.8344

Number of years = len(v) = 41

Hence, average = $853464.8344 / 41

Average = $20,816.215
