Answer:

  1. a. $950,000.
  2. $150,000.
  3. a. $1,115,000.
  4. d. -$15,000.
  5. b. how much an individual currently earns minus how much the individual would earn in his or her next best alternative.

Explanation:

1. Chris's accounting cost

The accounting cost is the explicit cost of the business. The normal costs so to speak;

= Parts and supplies necessary for the restoration + Salaries to employees + Salary to himself + Rent and utilities

= 400,000 + 360,000 + 110,000 + 80,000

= $‭950,000‬

2. Chris's accounting profit

= Revenue - Accounting cost

= 1,100,000 - 950,000

= $150,000

3. Chris's economic cost

These are explicit + implicit (opportunity) cost.

The opportunity cost is the next best alternative which would have been the $275,000 if he had worked at Jay Leno’s personal auto restorer.

He would therefore forfeit the salary he earns now of $110,000.

= Accounting cost + Salary foregone - Salary

= 950,000 + 275,000  - 110,000

= $1,115,000

4. Chris's economic profit

= 1,100,000 - 1,115,000

= -$15,000

5. b. how much an individual currently earns minus how much the individual would earn in his or her next best alternative.

why is allowance for doubtful accounts credited, instead of accounts receivable, when recording the adjusting entry for bad debt
alukav5142 [94]

The allowance for doubtful accounts credited, instead of accounts receivable when recording the adjusting entry for bad debts  Because accounts receivable is made up of numerous client accounts, it cannot be credited unless it is known which particular customer will not pay.

The provision for questionable accounts is referred to as a "counter asset" since it reduces the value of an asset, in this example, the accounts receivable. The compensation, often known as a doubtful account, is management's projection of the amount of accounts receivable that customers will not pay. Let's assume, using the aforementioned example, that on June 30 a business reports an accounts receivable debit balance of $1,000,000. The business predicts that $50,000 will not be converted into cash and expects some consumers won't be able to pay the full amount.

In 2013, Natural Selection, a nationwide computer dating service, had $500 million of assets and $200 million of liabilities. Ea
Allisa [31]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a)  Liabilities to equity ratio is

= $200 ÷ ($500 - $200)

= 0.667

Times interest earned ratio is

= EBIT ÷ Interest expense

= $120 ÷ $28

= 4.285

Times burden covered is

= EBIT ÷  (Interest +Principal repayment ÷ ( 1 -tax rate))

= 120 ÷ (28+24 ÷ (1-0.4))

= 1.764

b)

Interest paying requirements  

= ($128 - $20) ÷ 120

= 76.7%

Principal and interest requirements  

= [$120 - ($28 + $24 ÷ (1-0.4))] ÷ 120

= 0.433 or 43.3%

Principal, Interest and Common dividend payments -

= [$120 - ($28 + (($24 + 0.3 × 20) ÷ (1 - 0.4))] ÷ 120

= 0.35 or 35%
