<span>The journal entry to record the initial write-off includes is allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra account to accounts receivable, and therefore has debit balance.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:              

option B

Explanation:

Reinvestment risk refers to the possibility that potential cash flow will have to be invested in low-yielding assets, like coupons (the annual interest charges on the bond) or the eventual returns of the investment.

Reinvestment risk refers to one of financial risk's primary styles. The term is used to describe the threat of anyone canceling or stopping a particular investment, which one might need to find another place to reinvest the cash with the risk of not getting an equally attractive prospect.

Money that has been or will be paid regardless of the decision whether to proceed with the project is:
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Sunk costs.

Explanation:

Sunk costs refers to historical funds spent or incurred that cannot be recovered. Such costs are considered irrelevant during decision making which impacts on the business's future as they present no influence on present or future prospects.

Example

ABC investors decide to acquire land and develop residential houses at a location X. This decision is informed on the fact that the government had recently enacted a policy that led to an increase in demand for residential properties in that location. 6 months into construction of the residential houses, the government reviews and rescinds the policy. This leads to a sharp decline in property values in location X. ABC investors had already incurred 10 million dollars in the project. The 10 million dollars is considered sunk cost.

Sunk costs are the opposite of relevant costs because they can't be changed or recovered, as they've been spent or contracted in the past already. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.

Hence, money that has been or will be paid regardless of the decision whether to proceed with the project is sunk costs.
