Answer:

a. Debit Allowance for doubtful debt $4,398

   Credit Accounts receivable $4,398

   Being entries to write off receivable due from Madonna Inc.

b. $739,480  before and after the write-off

Explanation:

When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.  

To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.

The realizable value of accounts receivable before the write off is the net of the accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful debt

=  $762,000 - $22,520

= $739,480

This amount remains the same after the write off as the write off will reduce the balances in both the allowance for doubtful debt account and accounts receivable.

One conclusion that companies can draw from examining operational leverage is that companies that minimize fixed costs can increase profits without changing selling prices, contribution margins, or unit sales.

The Operating Leverage formula is used to calculate a company's break-even point, helping to set a reasonable selling price that covers all costs and produces a profit. This gives you insight into how well your company is using fixed-cost items such as inventory and machinery to make a profit. The more profit a company can extract from the same amount of fixed assets, the higher its operational leverage.

Two mutually exclusive investment opportunities require an initial investment of $7 million. Investment A pays $1.5 million per
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:The cost of capital that will make both investments equal is 17.045%

Explanation:

Investment A

$1.5 million will be received in perpetuity we can there use perpetuity formula to Value investment A.

Value of Investment A = 1500 000/r

Investment B

$1.2 Million will be received in Investment B with a growth rate of 3% will then use Gordon's growth rate model to value investment B.

Value of investment B = (1200 000 x (1+0.03))/(r - 0.03)

Value of investment B = 1236000/(r - 0.03)

1500 000/r = 1236000/(r - 0.03)

1236000(r) = 1500000(r - 0.03)

(r - 0.03) = 1236000( r)/1500000

r - 0.03 = 0.824r

r - 0.824r = 0.03 = 0.176r = 0.03

r = 0.03/0.176 = 0.170454545

R = 17.045%

The cost of capital that will make both investments to be equal is 17.045%
