The answer is B.

"A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it. Scientists generally base scientific hypotheses on previous observations that cannot satisfactorily be explained with the available scientific theories. Even though the words "hypothesis" and "theory" are often used synonymously, a scientific hypothesis is not the same as a scientific theory. A working hypothesis is a provisionally accepted hypothesis proposed for further research, in a process beginning with an educated guess or thought."

"A hypothesis is an assumption, an idea that is proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be tested to see if it might be true."

On january 1, year 2, kincaid company's accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts carried balances of $31,000

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

$27,725

Explanation:

Given that,

kincaid company's accounts receivable = $31,000

Allowance for doubtful accounts at January 1 = $500

Wrote off receivables as uncollectible = $550

1% of credit sales

cash collections of receivables = $74,550

Accounts receivable:

= Accounts receivable at January 1 + Credit sales - Wrote off receivables as uncollectible - Cash collection of receivables

= $31,000 + $72,500 - $550 - $74,550

= $28,400

Accounts for Doubtful Accounts:

= Allowance for doubtful accounts at January 1 - Wrote off receivables as uncollectible + 1% of credit sales

= $500 - $550 + (0.01 × $72500)

= $500 - $550 + $725

= $675

Net realizable value of receivables:

= Accounts receivable - Accounts for Doubtful Accounts

= $28,400 - $675

= $27,725

Therefore, the net realizable value of receivables appearing on kincaid's year 2 balance sheet will amount to $27,725.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Fox Resources

Units of common stock in issue = $5,000,000 divided $20 = 250,000 units

A. Earnings per share = Net income (after deducting preferred stock interest) divided by number of outstanding shares in issue

We assume the Net income provided already has deducted interest on preferred stock

= 600,000/250,000

= $2.4

B. Price Earning Ratio

= share price divided by the Earnings per share

= 20/2.4

= 8.33

C. Dividend Per share

= Dividend paid divided by number of common stock issued & outstanding

= $125,000/250,000

= $0.50

One-year Treasury securities yield 4%. The market anticipates that 1-year from now 1-year Treasury securities will yield 2.1%. I

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

3.05%

Explanation:

According to Pure Expectation Theory, the future short term interest rates are actually the forward rates.

Mathematically,

(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + r1,0)^1 * (1 + r1,1)^1

Here,

r2,0 is the rate of interest for 2 year treasury security from today

r1,0 is the rate of the interest for 1 year treasury security from today

r1,1 is the rate of the interest for 2 year treasury security from Year 1

By Putting Values, we have:

(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + 0.04)^1 * (1 + 0.021)^1

(1 + r2,0)^2 = 1.06184

By taking square-root on both sides, we have:

(1 + r2,0) = 1.0305

r2,0 = 3.05%
