Wittaler [7]

Answer:

$22,897.74

Explanation:

Given:

Loan amount (P) = $22,000

rate (R) = 8% = 8/100=0.08/365 = 0.000219178082

Number of days(n) = 6 month = (6 x 365)/12 = 182.5

Total Amount = ?

$A = P(1+ I)^n\\A = 22,000(1+0.000219178082)^{182.5}\\=22,000(1.000219178082)^{182.5}\\=22,000(1.04080658)\\= 22,897.744$

Kingbird, Inc. uses the percentage-of-receivables basis to record bad debt expense and concludes that 3% of accounts receivable

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

(a) The adjusting journal entry to record bad debt expense for the year:

Debit Bad debt expense $5,640

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $5,640

<em>(To record bad debt expense)</em>

(b) If the allowance for doubtful accounts had a debit balance of $870 instead of a credit balance of $2,950, The appropriate journal entries are:

Debit Bad debt expense $9,460

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $9,460

<em>(To record bad debt expense)</em>

Explanation:

To arrive at the bad debt expense for Kingbird, Inc., we simply need to calculate 3% of accounts receivable, as follows:

2% of $429,500 = $8,590

Since the allowance for doubtful accounts has a credit balance of $2,950, the bad debt expense will be: $8,590 - $2,950 = $5,640. The appropriate journal entries are as provided above.

However, if the allowance for doubtful accounts had a debit balance of $870 instead of a credit balance of $2,950, the bad debt expense will be: $8,590 + $870 = $9,460. The addition is necessary in order to reinstate the allowance account to $8,590. The appropriate journal entries are as provided above.

All of the following statements are true regarding earnings per common share (EPS) except:

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

d) EPS cannot be calculated if a company has no preferred stock.

Explanation:

The above statement is untrue about E.P.S because the reason why 'Preferred dividend' (which is dividend on preference shares) is subtracted from Net Income, before being divided by the 'Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding' is for comparability.

Since the denominator is based on 'common shares' or 'ordinary shares', it makes sense not to include the part of income that has fallen to preferred shares.

As a matter of fact there are a lot of companies that do not have preferred stock and still report Earnings Per Share on their financial statements.

Finally, still on comparability; E.P.S helps to compare the performance of big companies that have preferred stock with small companies that do not have. Hence EPS can be calculated even when there is no preferred stock.

To make CDs (certificates of deposit) look more attractive than they really are, some banks advertise that their rates are highe

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

r = 9.14%

Explanation:

Simple interest = P * (1+rt)

Simple interest = $10,000 * (1+0.10 * 3)

Simple interest = $10,000 * 1.3

Simple interest = $13,000

Calculating the compound interest rate

A = P*(1+r)^n

$13,000 = $10,000 * (1+r)^3

(1+r)^3 = $13,000 / $10,000

r = $\sqrt[3]{$13,000/ $10,000 - 1}$

r = 0.0914

r = 9.14%
