Answer: 2.29 years

Explanation:

First find the present value of the payments.

= (1,000,000 / 1.08) + (2,000,000/1.08^2) + (3,000,000/1.08^3)

= 925,925.9259 + 1,714,677.6406 + 2,381,496.72306

= $5,022,100.28956‬

Duration = ∑Proportion of payment

= (925,925.9259/5,022,100.28956) + (1,714,677.6406/ 5,022,100.28956‬ ) + (2,381,496.72306 / 5,022,100.28956‬ )

= 2.28983

= 2.29 years

timama [110]

Answer:

a. First calculate the adjusting entry to record allowance.

Uncollectible for the year is;

= (303,000 * 1%) + (42,000 * 5%) + (17,000 * 15%) + (8,000 * 40%)

= $10,880

Adjusting entry = Uncollectable amount - Credit balance on allowance

= 10,880 - 4,200

= $6,680

DR Bad Debt Expense                                                     $6,680

     CR Allowance for Doubtful accounts                                      $6,680

b.

Current Assets:

Accounts Receivable                                      $370,000

Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts         ($10,880)

                                                                           $359,120

Current Liabilities

Customers Overpayments                                $5,100

The current liability above arises from the credit balance of $5,100 in the Accounts receivable account. Accounts Receivable should have a debit balance so if a credit balance occurs it is an overpayment by a customer.

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

<em>End up losing because it is legally binding the clause that would limit the statute of limitations to 18 months.</em>

Explanation:

Within UCC 2-725, in cases that involve the exchange of goods, a 4-year restriction law applies. The parties can reduce the duration to not less than 1 year (but not extend it).

When a delivery tender is made, an action for violation of warranty accrues (the statute begins to run).

However if the warranty specifically applies to future performance and violation disclosure must postpone that performance, the penalty will occur when the breach is discovered or should have been discovered.

Banks primarily use the money in savings accounts to
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

provide loans to consumers.

Explanation:

Banks use the money savings accounts to issue loans to customers. The loans issued become assets to the banks.  A Bank make profits by charging higher interest on the loans than the interests they offer on savings. The interest charged on loans is the main source of revenue for the banks.

Banks loan out to businesses and households to finance investments and consumption. Savings accounts become a pool to collect funds that businesses can borrow to finance their expansion. Individuals also borrow for consumption and personal development

Table: Marginal Analysis of Sweatshirt Production II:
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Optimal qauntity is 4 Units

Explanation:

Here, we have to decide quantity of production at which maximum profit can be generated. For this reason we will have to contruct a table which will help us to calculate Marginal Benefit and Marginal cost. This table is given as under:

Quantity  Total benefit   Marginal benefit     Total Cost     Marginal Cost

0 Units            0                     0                              0                       0

1 Units            16                    16                              9                       9

2 Units           32                   16                             20                      11

3 Units           48                   16                             33                      13

4 Units           64                   16                             48                      15

5 Units           80                   16                             65                      17

We can see that at 4 Units, marginal revenue is almost equal to marginal cost. At this level of production, we have maximum benefits generated which is:

Maximum Benefit Generated = ($16 - $9)   +  ($16 - $11)   + ($16 - $13)  + ($16 - $15) = $7 + $5 + $3 + $1 = $16 for 4 Units

We can also cross check by considering 5 units case to assess whether the benefit generated is more than 4 units case or not.

Maximum Benefit Generated (For 5 Units) = ($16 - $9)   +  ($16 - $11)   + ($16 - $13)  + ($16 - $15)  +  ($16 - $17) = $7 + $5 + $3 + $1 - $1 = $15 for 4 Units

As the maximum benefit generated in the case of 4 units is more because of using marginal revenue = Marginal Cost relation, hence the optimal quantity is 4 units.
