Answer: $5,440

Explanation:

When using the percent of sales method to determine bad debts, the company estimates a percentage that it believes will results in uncollectible debt and then applies it to the sales/revenue figure. The figure that is calculated is then debited along with the debit balance on the Allowance for doubtful accounts to the Bad debts account for the year and credited to the Allowance for doubtful accounts.

This company estimates that they will have 0.6% of credit sales uncollectible.

There are also $790,000 in sales of which all are on credit.

The Uncollectible estimate is therefore,

= 790,000 * 0.6%

= $4,740

This figure is then added to the debit amount on the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts.

= 4,470 + 700

= $5,440

Note; A debit balance on the Allowance for doubtful debt account signifies that the bad debts were higher than anticipated the last time. This is why the figure is added to the current bad debts expense.

Suppose the interest on a foreign government bonds is 7.5%, and the current exchange rate is 28 foreign currencies per dollar. I
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

implied credit spread =  1.13 %

Explanation:

given data

interest on foreign government bonds = 7.5%

current exchange rate = 28

forward exchange rate = 28.5

risk-free rate = 4.5%

solution

we get here risk free rate by the forward exchange rate that is

F = spot exchange rate × \frac{1+Rr}{1+Rs}   ....................1

put here value

28.5 = 28 ×  \frac{1+Rr}{1+0.045}  

solve it we get

Rr = 0.0637

Rr = 6.37%

so

implied credit spread = interest on foreign government bonds - risk free rate

implied credit spread = 7.5% - 6.37%

implied credit spread =  1.13 %
