Answer:

<em>The answer will be 136.11 </em>

Explanation:

Because since the cost of the basket in 2005 is = (3x20) + (4 x 12) = 108; And the cost of basket in 2006 is = (3x25) + (4 x 18) = 147

To calculate the CPI,

  • <em>Put a sampling of product prices from a previous year. </em>
  • <em>Then, put the current prices of the same items together. </em>
  • <em>Divide the current total prices by the old prices and then subtract the sum by 100.</em>

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for 2006 = <em>(147/108) x 100 = 136.11</em>

Fernandez Company had an accounts receivable balance of​ $150,000 on December​ 31, Year 2 and​ $175,000 on December​ 31, Year 3.
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The amount collected from customers on accounts receivable during year 3 is $535,000.

Explanation:

Cash received from accounts receivable = Opening balance of AR + Credit Sales - Bad debts written off - Closing balance of AR.

  • The opening balance for year 3 account receivables was 150000.
  • Credit Sales = 600000
  • Bad debts = 40000
  • Closing Balance = 175000

We can solve this question either by making a T account for accounts receivable or using the equation given above.

Cash = 150000 + 600000 - 40000 - 175000 = $535000
