Answer:

Explanation:

(a) HPR = Ending Price - Beginning Price + Cash Dividend / Beginning Price

a. The holding period returns for the three scenarios are:

Boom: (48 - 40 + 2.8)/40 = 0.27 = 27%

Normal: (43 - 40 + 1.8)/40 = 0.120 = 12.0%

Recession: (34 - 40 + .90)/40 = -0.1275 = -12.75%

= [(1/3) × 0.27] + [(1/3) × 0.120] + [(1/3) × (-0.1275) =0.08750 or 9%

Variance = [(1/3) × (0.27 - 0.08750)^2] + [(1/3) × (0.120 - 0.08750)^2] + [(1/3) × (-0.1275 - 0.08750)^2] = .026863

Std. Dev = Sq. Rt .026863 = .16390 = 16.39%

(b) E(r) = (0.5 × 8.75%) + (0.5 × 5%) = 6.88%

σ = 0.5 × 16.39% = 8.19%

Crimson Inc. recorded credit sales of $779,000, of which $590,000 is not yet due, $110,000 is past due for up to 180 days, and $
kvasek [131]

Answer:

$49,690 credit balance

Explanation:

total credit sales = $590,000

past due up to 180 days = $110,000

past due for more than 180 days = $79,000

Crimson expects to not collect:

  • 3% of credit sales not due yet = $590,000 x 3% = $17,700
  • 14% of credit sales past due up to 180 days = $110,000 x 14% = $15,400
  • 21% of credit sales past due for more than 180 days = $79,000 x 21% = $16,590
  • total = $49,690

Allowance for uncollectible amounts has $3,500 debit balance

the adjusting entry should be:

Dr Bad debt expense 53,190

    Cr Allowance for uncollectible accounts 53,190

The ending balance = $53,190 - $3,500 = $49,690
