Answer: The amount of bad debt expense the company would record would be $3,470.

Explanation: Bad debt expense is an estimate of accounts receivable that is deemed as uncollectible while allowance for doubtful accounts is a balance sheet allowance account that warehouses the total balance of accounts receivable that is deemed irrecoverable.

In this scenario, Simple Co. estimated, using the aging method, that the allowance for doubtful accounts is $3,800. However, it had a credit balance of $330 in the same account. The reinstate the allowance account to $3,800, $3,470 has to be adjusted for by debiting bad debt expense and crediting allowance for doubtful account.

Answer:

The rate of return is 7.20%

Explanation:

a)  Assuming you purchased the bond for $880, in order to calculate the rate of return you earn if you held the bond for 25 years until it matured with a value $5,000 we would have to calculate the following formula:

Rate of Return = [FV/PV]1/n - 1

Rate of Return= [$5,000 / $880]1/25 - 1 = [5.6818]0.04 - 1 = 1.0720 - 1 = 0.0720, or 7.20%

Rate of Return= [5.6818]0.04 - 1

Rate of Return= 1.0720 - 1

Rate of Return=0.0720, or 7.20%

The rate of return is 7.20%

Think about your decision to buy the textbook for this course. You paid $250 for the book, but you would have been willing to pa
mart [117]

If the questions are “would I choose to buy the book in the first place”, and “Would I sell the book at the end of the course”, the answer to both questions is yes. The benefit of buying the book for the course is $400 dollars, which is greater than the sales price of $250. Thus, I would buy the book. At the end of the course, the benefit of keeping the book is $50, while my potential sales price is $125 (50% of 250). Thus, I can sell the book for more than it is worth to me, so I will sell the book at the end of the course.
