Answer: $14,000

Explanation:

Estimated Uncollectible = (4% * 175,000) + ( 10% * 40,000) + ( 30% * 10,000) + (60% * 5,000)

= 7,000 + 4,000 + 3,000 + 3,000

= $17,000

The credit balance on the Allowance account will be used to account for some of the uncollectibles. The remaining amount will be the year-end adjusting entry;

= 17,000 - 3,000

= $14,000

The cost for a carton of milk is $3, and it is sold for $5. When the milk expires, it is thrown out. You also know that the mean

svetlana [45]

Answer:

a) $3

b) $2

c) 1449

Explanation:

Given:

The cost for a carton of milk = $3

Selling price for a carton of milk = $5

Salvage value = $0 [since When the milk expires, it is thrown out ]3

Mean of historical monthly demand = 1,500

Standard deviation = 200

Now,

a) cost of overstocking = Cost for a carton of milk - Salvage value

= $3 - $0

= $3

cost of under-stocking = Selling price - cost for a carton of milk

= $5 - $3

= $2

b) critical ratio = $\frac{\textup{cost of under-stocking }}{\textup{cost of overstocking + cost of under-stocking }}$

critical ratio = $\frac{\textup{2}}{\textup{3 + 2}}$

critical ratio = 0.4

c) optimal quantity of milk cartons = Mean + ( z × standard deviation )

here, z is the z-score for the critical ration of 0.4

we know

z-score(0.4) = -0.253

thus,

optimal quantity of milk cartons = 1,500 + ( -0.253 × 200 )

= 1500 - 50.6

= 1449.4 ≈ 1449 units

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: (63, 50, 44)

Explanation:

Utility is the satisfaction that we derive as consumers when we consume or use a certain product.

Since Bundle A is strictly preferred to bundle B, and bundle B is strictly preferred to bundle C, it means that the value of Bundle A must be more than B and C while that of Bundle B must be more than bundle C.

Therefore, the correct option is B which is (63, 50, 44)

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

A) Single-server single-phase model (M/M/1).

$\lambda=2.5 \,customers/hour\\\\\mu=6\,customers/hour$

B) The goal is not met, as the average time waiting for service is 5.56 minutes.

C) The new mean service rate is 7.5 customers/hour.

In this case, the average time waiting for service is 4 minutes, so the goal is met.

Explanation:

A) This situation can be modeled as a single-server single-phase model (M/M/1).

The mean arrival rate is 2.5 customers per hour.

$\lambda=2.5 \,customer/h$

The mean service rate is 6 customers per hour, calculated as:

$\mu=\frac{60\, min/h}{10 \,min/customer}=6\, customer/h$

B) The average waiting time for a customer can be expressed as:

$W_q=\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\frac{1}{\mu-\lambda} =\frac{2.5}{6}\frac{1}{6-2.5} =0.417*0.222=0.093\,hours\\\\W_q=0.093\,hours*(60min/h)=5.56 \,min$

The average waiting time is 5.56 minutes, so it is more than the goal of 5 minutes.

C) If the average time spent per customer to 8 minutes, the mean service rate becomes

$\mu=\frac{60\, min/h}{8 \,min/customer}=7.5\, customer/h$

An the average waiting time for the service now becomes:

$W_q=\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\frac{1}{\mu-\lambda} =\frac{2.5}{7.5}\frac{1}{7.5-2.5} =0.333*0.2=0.067\,hours\\\\W_q=0.067\,hours*(60min/h)=4 \,min$

The average time is now 4 minutes, so the goal is achieved.

At the end of 2019, Bramble Corp. has accounts receivable of $740,200 and an allowance for doubtful accounts of $69,900. On Janu

ki77a [65]

Answer:

The journal to record the write-off is:

Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts $6,400

Credit Accounts receivable $6,400

Cash realizable value of the accounts receivable (1) before the write-off is $670,300 (2) after the write-off is $670,300.

Explanation:

The write-off would impact the allowance for doubtful accounts and the accounts receivable since Bramble Corp. uses the allowance method. See the journals as recorded above.
The balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts would have reduced by $6,400 upon the write-off, so did the balance in the accounts receivable, so the effect of the write-off evens out. That led to the cash realizable value of $670,300.
