<u>Answer:</u> The rate of interest per year is 18.49 %.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the rate of interest, we use the equation:

\text{Interest paid}=\text{Amount borrowed}\times \text{Rate of interest}\times \text{Time}

where,

Interest paid = $ 53.95

Amount borrowed = $ 700

Rate of interest = ?

Time = 5 months = \frac{5}{12}    (Conversion factor: 1 yr = 12 months)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\$53.95=\$700\times \text{Rate of interest}\times \frac{5}{12}\\\\\text{Rate of interest}=0.1849\times 100=18.49\%

Hence, the rate of interest per year is 18.49 %.

A one-year call option contract on Cheesy Poofs Co. stock sells for $1,330. In one year, the stock will be worth $65 or $86 per
givi [52]

Answer:

$98.02

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Value of contract = $1,330

Maximum value = $86

Minimum value = $65

Exercise price = $78

Risk-free rate = 3%

Now,

Current value of stock = (\frac{\text{Maximum value-Minimum value}}{\text{Maximum value-Exercise price}}\times\text{Call price})+(\frac{\text{Maximum value }}{\text{1+Risk-free rate}})

also,

a standard contract has 100 shares

thus,

Call price = Value of contract ÷ 100 shares

or

Call price = $1,330 ÷ 100  = $13.30

Thus,

Current value of stock = (\frac{\text{86-65}}{\text{86-78}}\times\text{13.30})+(\frac{\text{86}}{\text{1+0.03}})

or

Current value of stock = ( 2.625 × $13.30 ) + $63.1068

= $98.0193 ≈ $98.02

A company uses the percent of sales method to determine its bad debts expense. At the end of the current year, the company's una
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: $5,440

Explanation:

When using the percent of sales method to determine bad debts, the company estimates a percentage that it believes will results in uncollectible debt and then applies it to the sales/revenue figure. The figure that is calculated is then debited along with the debit balance on the Allowance for doubtful accounts to the Bad debts account for the year and credited to the Allowance for doubtful accounts.

This company estimates that they will have 0.6% of credit sales uncollectible.

There are also $790,000 in sales of which all are on credit.

The Uncollectible estimate is therefore,

= 790,000 * 0.6%

= $4,740

This figure is then added to the debit amount on the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts.

= 4,470 + 700

= $5,440

Note; A debit balance on the Allowance for doubtful debt account signifies that the bad debts were higher than anticipated the last time. This is why the figure is added to the current bad debts expense.
