First we need to calculate the monthly discount rate for the lease arrangement (EAR):

EAR = (1 + APR / k)^k - 1

= (1 + .06 / 4)^4 – 1

<span> = .06136 or 6 .14% </span>

Monthly rate = (1 + EAR)^(1/12) – 1

= (1.06136)^(1/12) - 1

= .004975 = 0.4975%

Now we can apply the formula for the PV of a constant annuity:

I = .4975

N = 60 = (5 years × 12 months/yr)

FV = 0

PMT = $4000 (lease payment)

Compute PV = 207,051.61

<span>Answer:  Therefore you should purchase the new delivery truck.</span>

Dr bad debt expense                        $4000

Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts             $4000

Explanation:

The new allowance for doubtful accounts should be calculated as 10% of the closing balance of accounts receivable,i,e 10% of $400000=$40000

The new $40000 estimates of allowance for  doubtful accounts means that the closing balance in allowance for  doubtful accounts should be $40000 credit balance.

Since the opening balance was $36000 credit, the extra amount to top it up to $40000 is $4000($40000-$36000)

Hence,the required adjustment to the allowance for doubtful accounts is shown below

Dr bad debt expense                        $4000

Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts             $4000

balu736 [363]

Answer:

Income elasticity of demand = - 0.56

Explanation:

Given,

P=10, Pc=100, Pd=2, A=5, and I=50.

So,

Q=200-5(10)-.1(100)-.5(2)+.2(5)-(50).

Q=90 (level of income)

Computation:

Given , I = 50, Q = 90.

ΔQ / ΔI = -1

Income elasticity of demand = (ΔQ / ΔI) x (I / Q)

Income elasticity of demand = - 1 x (50 / 90)

Income elasticity of demand = - 0.56
