Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": discounting all expected future cash flows to reflect the time value of money.
Explanation:
Discounting cash flows takes place at any moment given when money is paid at one date but is received at a different point. Discounted cash flows are useful to measure the difference between the present value of money and the receivables that are expected to come at a later stage.
Answer:
Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)
Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)
Explanation:
This is an example of provision for doubtful debts. Provision for doubtful debts is an estimated amount of bad debts from accounts receivables that has been issues but not yet collected. This is done under the accrual accounting concept where an expense is identified as soon as invoices have been issued rather than waiting long periods to find out which invoice is irrecoverable. It is typically an estimate based on past experience.
In this question, the sales value has not been provided, hence an assumption is made:
Sales : $200,000
If provision for doubtful debts is 1% of sales and all sales is on credit, then the provision for doubtful debts amount is = 1% x $200,000 = $2000
Provision for doubtful debts is an accounts receivable contra account and thus has a credit balance and is recorded in the balance sheet, listed directly under accounts receivables.
The entry is recorded as:
Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)
Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)
Answer:
account receivables 600 debit
allowance for doubful account 600 credit
--to revert the write-off--
cash 600 debit
account receivables 600 credit
--to record the payment from Acme Inc--
Explanation:
The company will revert the write-off of Acme. Inc account and then record a collection as usual
We use the allowance account as previously the company did as follows:
allowance for doubful account 1,200 debit
account receivables 1,200 credit
to write-off the account.
We reverse this by the amount paid by Acme which is 600
Then, we record receiving the cash (debit) and decreasing the account receivable (credit)
Answer:
The answer is: C) PV of a perpetuity = StartFraction r Over Upper C EndFraction (I guess this means PV = r / C, which is FALSE)
Explanation:
The formula for calculating the present value of a perpetuity is:
PV = C / r
Where PV = Present Value, C = cash flow, r = discount rate.
A perpetuity is a stream of equal cash flows that lasts forever (perpetually).
The formula for calculating the present value of a perpetuity is simple, so there is no reason to spend time calculating the present value of each cash flow, since there are infinite cash flows.
A consol bond s a type of perpetuity issued by the British government (also by the US government)
