Answer: $15,500

Explanation:

First we calculate the estimated Uncollecteble debt,

= 6% of 310,000

= 0.06 (310,000)

= $18,600

We will then subtract the existing $3,100 to find out how much we will send to the Bad Debt Expense account because the amount already in the account needs to be included in the $18,600.

= 18,600 - 3,100

= $15,500

We will therefore Debit the Bad Debt Expense account with $15,500 and Credit the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts with the same amount.

If you need any clarification do react or comment.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

(a) Real Interest Rate   = -1 %

(b) Real Interest Rate   = -2.4 %

Explanation:

Real Interest Rate = (1+ Nominal Interest rate)/(1+Inflation Rate) -1

 (a)Real Interest Rate = (1+0.01)/(1+0.02)-1

                                    = -1 %

 (b) Real Interest Rate = (1+0.005)/(1+0.03) -1

                                      = -2.4 %

Real Interest Rate is an interest rate that has been adjusted to remove the effects of inflation to reflect the real cost of funds to the borrower and the real yield to the lender or to an investor.
