Answer:

NPV    =  $24,910.26  

The investment is economically justified because it increases the wealth pg Jacobson Recovery by   $24,910.26

Explanation:

To determine whether the investment is justifiable we will compute the the Net present Value of the project

The Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good and profitable investment project and a negative figure implies the opposite.  

NPV = PV of cash inflows - PV of cash outflows  

<em />

<em>PV of cash  average revenue = A × (1-(1+r)^(-n))/r</em>

A- average revenue, r- discount ate- 12% , n- number of years- 10

PV of reveue = 52,000 × (1-(1.12)^(-10)/0.12= $293,811.60

<em>PV of salvage value = F × (1+r</em><em>)</em><em>^(-n)</em>

                                 = 50,000 × 1.12^(-10)

                                  = 16,098.66183

NPV = $293,811.60 + 16,098.66183  - $285,000

         =  $24,910.26

Sunland Company uses the percentage-of-receivables method for recording bad debt expense. The Accounts Receivable balance is $31
Alinara [238K]

Answer: $15,500

Explanation:

First we calculate the estimated Uncollecteble debt,

= 6% of 310,000

= 0.06 (310,000)

= $18,600

We will then subtract the existing $3,100 to find out how much we will send to the Bad Debt Expense account because the amount already in the account needs to be included in the $18,600.

= 18,600 - 3,100

= $15,500

We will therefore Debit the Bad Debt Expense account with $15,500 and Credit the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts with the same amount.

If you need any clarification do react or comment.

aleksklad [387]

Answer and Explanation:
