Answer:
n = ㏒ P ÷ ㏒ (1.08)
Explanation:
Compound interest rate
A = P ×
where
P = principal amount (the initial amount you borrow or deposit)
r = annual rate of interest (as a decimal)
A = amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.
n = number of years
Since we want the principle amount to double i.e., A = 2P
put this in above equation
2P = P ×
divide both sides by P, we get
P =
put r = 0.08
P =
P =
Taking log on both sides
㏒ P =㏒
㏒ P = n ㏒ (1.08)
n = ㏒ P ÷ ㏒ (1.08)
Answer: Option C - Assets are Overstated; No effects on liabilities: Equity is Overstated
Explanation:
When Bad debts are recorded, they will reduce the Accounts Receivable account because less money will be expected from debtors. Accounts Receivable is an asset account so it will be Overstated if bad debts are not recorded.
Equity will also be overstated because bad debts is an expense that is sent to the Income statement. If this expense is not deducted, the net income will be larger than it should be and when added to Equity it will overstate it.
