Answer:

Bad Debts (Dr.)                                               $18,000

                              Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (Cr.)          $18,000

Explanation:

When the management expects that it will not be able to collect a certain amount of receivable, it records Bad Debts in the Profit or Loss and a Credit entry to it is charged to contra-asset account known as "Allowance for Doubtful Accounts". It should be kept in mind that, at this stage it is only the expectation of management that the receivable from customers will not be collected. When the management is certain about the default of customer, it write-offs the Receivables. This is done by debiting Allowance for Doubtful Account and crediting Accounts Receivables. Write-off has no impact on the Net Realizable Value (Accounts Receivables - Allowance for Doubtful Account).

Thanks!

A company purchases inventory on terms of net 30 days and resells to its customers on terms of net 15 days. The inventory conver
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The company's cash conversion cycle is 75 days

Explanation:

The conversion cycle is the number of days that a business takes to convert its investment in inventory into cash flowing from the purchase and sales of the business.

Conversion cycle = Payable days + Inventory in Stock days + Receivable days

where

Payable days = Purchases term  = 30 days

Inventory in stock = Number of days until inventory remains unsold = 60 - 30 days = 30 days ( As payable days are already included in inventory conversion days )

Receivable days = Sales term = 15 days

Placing values in the formula

Conversion cycle = 30 days + 30 days + 15 days

Conversion Cycle = 75 days

A salesperson is offering promissory notes for a company selling coffee at drive-through kiosks. The notes pay a 13% interest ra
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Legitimate promissory notes are marketed to sophisticated, corporate investors that have the ability to thoroughly research the company issuing the notes and determine whether the issuer will be able to repay principal and interest.   There have been many instances of "promissory note fraud" where unlicensed individuals push bogus promissory notes that are sold as investments that offer above-market fixed interest rates and safeguarding of principal - and most of there are frauds.  This is a major concern to state regulators.

To offer a promissory note, both the salesperson and the note must be registered in the state.  Only promisory notes that have maturities of 9 months or less, that are investment grade, and are sold in minimum increments of $50,000 are exempt from registration.  

Finally, the tell-tale sign of fraud are:

Statements that tho notes are "guaranteed" or insured, especially by bogus foreign entities.

Promises of above-market rates fo return

Statements that the notes are "risk"free"

The labeling of a star-up company´s notes as prime

Offers of promissory notes from a stanger who does not know the costumer financial situation

A company is analyzing two mutually exclusive projects, S and L, with the following cash flows:0 1 2 3 4Project S -$1,000 $895.0
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Project L is the better project as it has higher NPV and its IRR is 12.70%

Explanation:

- NPV of Project S as followed:

-1,000 + 895.03/(1+10.5%) + 250/(1+10.5%)^2 + 10/(1+10.5%)^3 + 5/(1+10.5%)^4 = $25.5

- NPV of Project L as followed:

-1,000 + 5/(1+10.5%) + 260/(1+10.5%)^2 + 420/(1+10.5%)^3 + 802.5/(1+10.5%)^4 = $67.

<u>=> Project L is the better Project as it has higher NPV.</u>

The IRR is the discount rate that puts the net present value of project's cash flows to 0 (zero).

- IRR of Project L as followed:

-1,000 + 5/(1+IRR) + 260/(1+IRR)^2 + 420/(1+IRR)^3 + 802.5/(1+IRR)^4 = 0 <=> IRR = 12.70%

Use the following information to determine the ending cash balance to be reported on the month ended June 30 cash budget.
Georgia [21]

Answer:

$47,000

Explanation:

The cash budget is a forecast of the company's expected movement in cash considering the expected outflows and inflows. This movements result in a change between the opening and ending cash balance. This may be expressed mathematically as

Opening balance + Cash receipts - Cash disbursed = ending balance

Cash receipts for the period

= $264,000

Cash disbursed

= $138,000 + $80,000 + $10,000 + $15,000

= $243,000

ending balance  = $26,000 + $264,000 - $243,000

= $47,000
