Answer:

Explanation:

Pretax cost of debt is the annual rate(YTM) of the bond. Using a financial calculator, input the following to calculate it;

N = 5*2 = 10

PV = -(95% *10,000,000) = -9,500,000

Coupon PMT = (6%/2)*10,000,000 = 300,000

FV = 10,000,000

then compute semiannual rate; CPT I/Y = 3.604%

convert to annual rate = 3.604*2 = 7.21%(this is the pretax cost of debt)

After tax cost of debt is calculated because interest payable on debt has tax shield. The formula is as follows;

Aftertax cost of debt = pretax cost of debt (1-tax)

AT cost of debt = 7.21% (1-0.40)

AT cost of debt = 4.33%

Explanation:

On March 11, Dexter made an entry to write-off bad debts in the amount of $9,100. Dexter Co., charged it directly to Accounts receivable because the company uses direct write-off method. During the collection we have 2 steps to consider; First, On March 29 during the unexpected collection, Dexter shoud set up the reversal of the write-off entry which they had made last March 11. So we debit Accounts receivable and credit bad debts in the amount of $9,100. Second, is to record the collection, debit cash and credit Accounts receivable in the amount of $9,100.

Tanning Company analyzes its receivables to estimate bad debt expense. The accounts receivable balance is $374,000 and credit sa
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: The adjusting entry would be: Debit Bad debt expense $24,380; Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $24,380.

Explanation: Since aging of the accounts receivable shows that 7% approximately of the outstanding receivable of $374,000 will be uncollectible. It then means $26,180 (7%*$374,000) will be uncollectible. Meanwhile, Tanning Company already has a credit balance of $1,800 in the allowance for doubtful accounts, therefore, an adjustment of $24,380 ($$2,180 - $1,800) has to be made.

lesya [120]

Answer:

Comparative advantage.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage in economics is the ability of an individual or country to produce a specific good or service at a lower opportunity cost better than another individual or country.

The comparative advantage gives a country a stronger sales margin than their competitors as they are able to sell their specific products or render their peculiar services at a lower opportunity cost.

In 1817, David Ricardo who is an english political economist talked about the law of comparative advantage in his book “On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation." Also, the principle of comparative advantage states that, nations (countries) can become better off than their contemporaries through the process of specializing in what they know how to produce or do best.

This simply means that, any country applying the principle of comparative advantage, would enjoy an increase in output and consequently, a boost in their Gross Domestic Products (GDP).

In general, individuals and nations should specialize in producing those goods for which they have a comparative advantage.
