At the beginning of 2021, Brad’s Heating & Air (BHA) has a balance of $24,800 in accounts receivable. Because BHA is a priva

tely owned company, the company has used only the direct write-off method to account for uncollectible accounts. However, at the end of 2021, BHA wishes to obtain a loan at the local bank, which requires the preparation of proper financial statements. This means that BHA now will need to use the allowance method. The following transactions occur during 2021 and 2022. 1. During 2021, install air conditioning systems on account, $178,000. 2. During 2021, collect $173,000 from customers on account. 3. At the end of 2021, estimate that uncollectible accounts total 20% of ending accounts receivable. 4. In 2022, customers’ accounts totaling $6,800 are written off as uncollectible. 3. Calculate bad debt expense for 2021 and 2022 under the allowance method and under the direct write-off method, prior to any adjusting entries. (Leave no cells blank.)

If the company applies the allowance method, it means that the account Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts must show as balance the % of accounts receivables as CREDIT.

Because the company has a debit balance in that account it's necessary to register an entry that compensate the DEBIT value and reflect A CREDIT estimated as % of account receivable.

Bad accounts are those credits granted by the company and there is no possibility of being charged.

When customers buy products on credits but the company cannot collect the debt, then it's necessary to cancel the unpaid invoice as uncollectible.

One way is to directly cancel bad debts at the time it was decided that the credit is bad, the total amount reported as bad debt expenses negatively affect the income statement and the accounts receivable are reduced by the same amount, less assets

The other way is to determine a percentage of the total amount of accounts receivable as bad debts, there are many ways to analyze accounts receivable and calculate the value of bad debts.

When the company has the percentage of uncollectible accounts, the required journal entry is Bad Expenses (debit) with Reserve for Bad Accounts (credit)

At the time of cancellation, since the expenses were recognized before, we only use the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Debit)  with accounts receivable (credit), with this we are recognizing the bad credit of the company.

IrinaVladis [17]

Complete question:

Consider the game of chicken. Two players drive their cars down the center of the road directly at each other. Each player chooses SWERVE or STAY. Staying wins you the admiration of your peers (a big payoff) only if the other player swerves. Swerving loses face if the other player stays. However, clearly, the worst output is for both players to stay! Specifically, consider the following payouts. Player two Stay swervePlayer one stay -6 -6 2 -2 swerve -2 2 1 1

a) Does either player have a dominant strategy?

b) Suppose that Player B has adopted the strategy of Staying 1/5 of the time and  swerving 4/5 of the time. Show that Player A is indifferent between swerving and staying.

c) If both player A and Player B use this probability mix, what is the chance that  they crash?

Explanation:

a. There is no dominant strategy for either player. Suppose two players agree to live. Then the best answer for the player is to swerve(-6 versus -2).  Yet if the player turns two, the player will remain one (2 vs 1).  

b. Player B must be shown to be indifferent among swerving and staying if it implements a policy (stay= 1⁄4, swerving= 5/4).

When we quantify a predicted award on the stay / swerving of Player A, we get

E(stay)= (1/5)(-6)+ (4/5)(2)= 2/5 E(swerve)= (1/5)(-2)  

c. They both remain 1/5 of the time. The risk of a crash (rest, stay) is therefore (1/5)(1/5)= 1/25= 4%

Olivia likes to eat both apples and bananas. At the grocery store, each apple costs $0.20 and each banana cost $0.25. Olivia’s u
icang [17]

Answer:

Therefore, Olivia should buy 10 apples and 8 bananas to maximize her utility.

Explanation:

Let A represent the number of apples bought and B represent the number of bananas bought. Therefore since Olivia has $4 to spend:

0.2A + 0.25B = 4       (1)

Also, the tangency condition can be used to find the optimal amount of A to relative to B. It is give as:

MU_A/P_A=MU_B/P_B\\\\\frac{3\sqrt{\frac{B}{A} } }{0.2}= \frac{3\sqrt{\frac{A}{B} } }{0.25}\\\\15\sqrt{\frac{B}{A} }=12\sqrt{\frac{A}{B} }\\\\squaring\ both\ sides:\\\\\frac{225B}{A} =\frac{144A}{B}\\\\225B^2=144A^2\\\\B^2=0.64A^2\\\\Taking\ square\ root:\\\\B=0.8A

Put B = 0.8A in equation 1:

0.2A + 0.25(0.8A) = 4

0.2A + 0.2A = 4

0.4A = 4

A = 10

B = 0.8(A) = 0.8(10) = 8

Therefore, Olivia should buy 10 apples and 8 bananas to maximize her utility.

Aerotron Electronics has just bought a used delivery truck for $15,000. The small business paid $1,000 down and financed the res
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Nominal interest rate =  12.23%

Explanation:

Given - Aerotron Electronics has just bought a used delivery truck for

            $15,000. The small business paid $1,000 down and financed the  

             rest, with the agreement to pay nothing for the entire first year and  

             then to pay $526.83 at the end of each month over years 2, 3, and

             4 (first payment is in 13th month).

To find - a. What nominal interest rate is Aerotron paying on the loan.

Proof -

As given ,

Price - $15,000

Down Payment - $1,000

⇒Loan Payment = $15,000 - $1,000

As given,

He will not pay for the entire first year. After that he will pay $526.83 for next 3 years.

Now,

Interest rate for 1 month = r %

So,

Loan after 1 year = 14,000( 1 + r)¹²

And

Annuity factor = \frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{r}. \frac{1}{(1+r)^{t} }

and t = 3 years = 36 months

Now,

As we know,

Monthly loan payment = \frac{Loan amount}{Annuity factor}

⇒$526.83 = 14,000( 1 + r)¹² / \frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{r}. \frac{1}{(1+r)^{t} }

By solving we get

r = 1.019%

Now,

Nominal interest rate = 1.019%×12 = 12.23%
