Answer: $9,950

Explanation:

Amount of uncollectibles for the three age groups;

Accounts Not yet due = $30,000, estimated uncollectible = 4%

= $30000 × 0.04 = $1200

Accounts 1–60 days past due = $15,000; estimated uncollectible = 25%

= $15000 × 0.25 = $3750

Accounts more than 60 days past due = $10,000; estimated uncollectible = 50%

= $10000 × 0.5 = $5000

Total = $1200 + $3750 + $5000 = $10,950

Accounting for the balance of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts before adjustment; credit of $1000

$10,950 - $1000 = $9950

A manufacturer of hospital supplies has a uniform annual demand for 320 comma 000 boxes of bandages. It costs ​$10 to store one
mash [69]

Answer:

100 times per year

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Annual Demand , D = 320,000 boxes

Cost of storing one box, C = $10

Plant set up cost for production, c = $160

Now,

The optimal ordering quantity = \sqrt\frac{2cD}{C}

or

The optimal ordering quantity = \sqrt\frac{2(160)(32,000)}{10}

or

= 3200

Therefore,

Number of timer in year company produce boxes = \frac{\textup{Demand}}{\textup{Optimal order quantity}}

= \frac{\textup{320,000}}{\textup{3,200}}

= 100 times per year

An investor will choose between Asset Q with an expected return of 6.5% and a standard deviation of 5.5%, Asset U with an expect
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The investor will prefer asset U. So the correct answer is option D

Explanation:

To choose between these stocks, we will calculate the coefficient of variation (CV) which is used to assess the risk per unit of expected return. As most people are risk averse, we assume that the investor is risk averse. We will calculate the CV for all three investments and the stock having lowest CV will be selected.

<u>Coefficient of Variation (CV)</u>

Coefficient of Variation =  standard deviation / expected return

<u />

Asset Q = 5.5% / 6.5% = 0.846

Asset U = 5.5% / 8.8% = 0.625

Asset B = 6.5% / 8.8% = 0.738

Thus, asset U has the lowest CV and the investor =, being a risk averse, will prefer asset U.
