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).

atroni [7]

Answer:

NPV = (53,222.44)

Explanation:

Net fixed asset                              345,000

Working capital

160,000 inventory + 35,000 Ar =   195,000

short term deb                                 (110,000)

net working capital                           85,000

Total investment                            430,000

salvage value 345,00 x 25% = 86,250

release of the working capital  85,000

Cash flow at end of project      171,250

annual cash flow

sales             550,000

cost              (430,000)

depreciation    69,000

EBT                   51,000

tax expense 35%

                        (17,850)

net income       33,150

+ dep                 69,000

cash flow           102,150

Now we calculate the present value of the net cash flow and the present alue fothe end of the project

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 102150

time 4

rate 0.15

102150 \times \frac{1-(1+0.15)^{-4} }{0.15} = PV\\

PV $291,636.04

\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Principla (sum of salvage and released Working capital   171,250.00

time   5.00

rate   0.15

\frac{171250}{(1 + 0.15)^{5} } = PV  

PV   85,141.52

NPV = 291,636.04 + 85,141.52 - 430,000 = (53,222.44)

Alex

Answer:

The correct answer is A.  a PI project may be appropiate.

Explanation:

Benchmarking is a continuous and systematic process that makes a comparative evaluation of products or services in organizations that show best practices in a given area, with the aim of transferring knowledge of best practices and their application.

Benchmarking should not be confused with espionage or competition, so the concepts of best practices and area of interest should be very clear. In this sense, for the organization it becomes an appropriate process, since it allows you to know to what extent it may be convenient to consider the actions against the established norm.
