1 answer:

3 0

Purpose of a bank reconciliation statement.
A bank reconciliation statement is used to compare your record to those of your bank to see if there is difference between the two sets of records. The ending balance of your version of cash records is known as the book balance while the bank`s version is known as bank balance. It is common for there to be a difference in the two balances. The results to the differences might be due to overdrawn bank account, bounced checks and overdraft fees. It is important for you to check the difference because there might be substantial variance between the amount you think you have and that the bank thinks you have. In some cases the bank may even elect to close down your account.

Dr Accounts receivable 96,000

Dr Bonus receivable 2,400

Cr Service revenue 98,400

to record adjustment of bonus receivable at month 5:

Dr Service revenue 6,400

Cr Bonus receivable 6,400

to record service revenue for the fifth month:

Dr Accounts receivable 96,000

Dr Bonus receivable 800

Cr Service revenue 96,800

to record getting the bonus:

Dr Cash 32,000

Cr Bonus receivable 6,400

Cr Service revenue 25,600

Explanation:

total value of the contract:

[($96,000 x 8) + $32,000] x 0.8 = $640,000

[($96,000 x 8) - $32,000] x 0.2 = $147,200

total expected value = $787,200

expected value of the bonus = $787,200 - ($96,000 x 8) = $19,200, monthly bonus receivable $19,200 / 8 = $2,400

the adjustments required during the fifth month:

[($96,000 x 8) + $32,000] x 0.6 = $480,000

[($96,000 x 8) - $32,000] x 0.4 = $294,400

total expected value = $774,400

expected value of the bonus = $774,400 - ($96,000 x 8) = $6,400, monthly bonus receivable $6,400 / 8 = $800

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer: 9.20

Explanation:

In finance there is a rule for calculating this called 'The Rule of 70'.

With The Rule of 70, you are able to calculate the amount of time it will take an investment to double if you divide 70 by the growth rate of the investment.

In this scenario, the investment is your salary and the growth rate is 7.61% pee year.

The amount of time it will take to double is therefore,

= 70 / 7.61

= 9.19842312746

= 9.20 years.

It will take 9.20 years to double.

MrRissso [65]

Answer: Increasing current profits when doing so lowers the value of the company's equity.

Explanation:

The main purpose of a company is to increase the wealth of shareholders. In their capacity as stewards for the company, managers should be working therefore to achieve this goal.

When management neglects this goal and begins to seek an improvement in their welfare and wealth instead of the shareholder', this is an Agency problem.

If a Financial manager is increasing current profits even though doing so will lower the value of the company's equity, this can create an agency problem because the shareholders are suffering but the finance manager might get rewarded for increasing profits.
