Answer:

23.25%; 62.01%

Explanation:

(a) Amount received:

= No. of shares × selling price

= 100 × $43

= $4,300

Sales deposit = 60% of Amount received

                        = 0.6 × $4,300

                        = $2,580

Amount paid = No. of shares × Purchase price

                      = 100 × $49

                      = $4,900

Therefore, Loss = $4,900 - $4,300

                           = $600

(b) If buys at $27, then

Amount paid = $27 × 100

                     = $2,700

Profit = $4,300 - $2,700

         = $1,600

Loss on investment:

= ($600 ÷ $2,580) × 100

= 23.25%

Profit on investment:

= ($1,600 ÷ $2,580) × 100

= 62.01%

torisob [31]

$4,535  amount should be debited to bad debt expense.

<h3>What is bad debt expense?</h3>

When a receivable is no longer recoverable because a customer is unable to fulfill their responsibility to pay an outstanding debt owing to bankruptcy or other financial troubles, a bad debt expense is reported.

Big Store stops paying its debts and fails to reimburse Company XYZ for $100,000 in items. Because the company is not convinced that Big Store will ever pay, the $100,000 is classified as a bad debt.

Because it reduces the amount of an asset, in this case accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful accounts is considered a "counter asset."

As the amount is not a liability, bad debts are an expense to the business.
