Answer:

B.

Explanation:

An uncollectible account or bad debt is an account receivable that the business cannot collect. Businesses account for bad debts by using :

-the allowance method.

-the direct write-off method .

The direct write-off method is primarily used by businesses with few credit customers. When it is determined that a customer is not going to pay, the uncollectible account is removed from the records.

To remove from the records, there is a credit to Accounts Receivable (asset account, increase by the debit) and a debit to Bad Debts Expense (expense account, increase by the debit).

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total asset turnover = Sales/total assets

3.2= 14000000/Total assets

Total assets = 4375000

E/A = 1-D/A = 1-0.45 = 0.55

Equity = E/A*assets = 0.55*4375000=2406250

Net income = (EBIT-interest)*(1-tax rate)

=(1344000-546000)*(1-0.25)=598500

ROE = Net income/total equity

ROE% = 598500/2406250=0.248

ROE% = 24.8

Papessa [141]

Answer:

Ans. The value of investment after 2 years is $3,155.51

Explanation:

Hi, first we need toconvert that 9.80 percent, compounded quarterly into an effective quarterly rate, that is just by dividing by 4, since there are 4 quarters in a year, that is:

r(effective quarterly)= 9.8%/4 =2.45%

Now, since the rate is effective quarterly, the periods (time of the invesmet) has to be in quarters, so we multiply 2 years by 4 and we get 8 quarters.

With all the above information, we can go ahead and use the following formula in order to find the future value of this investment.

FutureValue=PresentValue*(1+r)^{n}

It should all look like this.

FutureValue=2,600*(1+0.0245)^{8}=3,155.51

So, the future value of this investment is $3,155.51

Best of luck.
