Answer:

The correct answer is B: direct write-off method

Explanation:

Unfortunately, some sales on account may not be collected. Customers go broke, become unhappy and refuse to pay, or may generally lack the ethics to complete their half of the bargain. It is necessary to establish an accounting process for measuring and reporting these uncollectible items. Uncollectible accounts are frequently called “bad debts.”

There are two methods of accounting to manage uncollectable accounts:

1- Allowance method

2- Direct Write-off Method

2- Under this method, there is no allowance account. An account receivable is written-off directly to expense only after the account is determined to be uncollectible. This method is required for income tax purposes. The direct write-off method is easy to operate as it only requires that specific debts are written off as they are identified with a simple journal. The problem with the method, however, is that it does not comply with the matching principle, in that revenue might be recorded in one period, when the customer is invoiced, whereas the expense of writing off the uncollectible amount is recorded in a completely different period when the amount is identified as irrecoverable.

Answer: B) A)

Explanation:

  •   This kind of method, direct write-off method is referring to your question and it is considering a method that is used for recognizing bad debts expenses that are coming from credit sales of someone's account. With this method there is no account that is considering allowance and receivable that is found on someones's account is written-off directly to expense when there is uncollectible account expense.
  •   One of the greatest advantages is simplicity because those companies who are doing this method have to make only two transactions.

Which of the following changes in the loanable funds market will decrease the equilibrium real interest rate?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The answer is Option C

Explanation:

Any event that would either decrease the demand for loanable funds or increase the supply of loanable funds will decrease the equilibrium interest rates. Supply of loanable funds is affect by the amount of national savings. National savings in turn, is the sum of private savings, public saving and net capital inflow.

In option C, capital inflows are increasing. This means that there would be an excess supply of money in the economy which can be converted into loanable funds. This would, therefore, push the supply curve to the right thereby reducing the real interest rate equilibrium.

A resort hotel is planning to install a computerized inventory system to manage complementary guest items such as soap and shamp
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

a) safety stock = z-score x √lead time x standard deviation of demand

z-score for 99.9% = 3.29053

√lead time = √7 = 2.6458

standard deviation of demand = 3

safety stock = 3.29053 x 2.6458 x 3 = 26.12 ≈ 26 soaps

reorder point = lead time demand + safety stock = (7 x 16) + 26 = 138 soaps

EOQ = √[(2 x S x D) / H]

S = order cost = $10

D = annual demand = 16 x 365 = 5,840

H = $0.05

EOQ = √[(2 x $10 x 5,840) / $0.05] = 1,528.40 ≈ 1,528 soaps

b) total order costs per year = (5,840 / 1,528) x $10 = $38.22

total holding costs = (1,528 / 2) x $0.05 = $38.20

total annual ordering and holding costs = $76.42

g A company issues a ten-year bond at par with a coupon rate of 6.5% paid semi-annually. The YTM at the beginning of the third y
Lorico [155]

Answer:

$880.31

Explanation:

Here for computing the new price of the bond we use the present value formula i.e. to be shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Assuming Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 8.6%  ÷ 2 = 4.3%

NPER = 8 years  × 2 = 16

PMT = $1,000 × 6.5% ÷  2 = $32.50

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the above formula, the new price of the bond is $880.31
