Answer:

Explanation:

Using dividend growth model formula for finding dividend per year can be used to find the growth rate per year;

The formula would be D1 = D0(1+g)

and D2 = D1(1+g)

D3 = D2 (1+g)  and so on....

Starting with 2.00 dividend,  <u>growth rate from yr1-yr2;</u>

2.07 = 2.00*(1+g)

Divide both sides by 2.00;

1+g = 2.07/ 2.00

1+g = 1.035

g = 1.035-1

g ( y1-y2) = 0.035 or 3.5%

<u>Growth rate from yr2-yr3;</u>

2.24 = 2.07(1+g)

Divide both sides by 2.07;

2.24/2.07 = 1+g

1.0821 = 1+g

1.0821-1 = g

g= 0.0821 or 8.21%

Therefore, g(y2-y3) = 8.21%

<u>Growth rate from yr3-yr4;</u>

2.34 = 2.24(1+g)

Divide both sides by 2.24;

2.34/2.24 = 1+g

1.0446 = 1+g

1.0446 -1 =g

g =0.0446 or 4.46%

Therefore, g(y3-y4) = 4.46%

<u>Growth rate from yr4-yr5;</u>

2.50 = 2.34(1+g)

2.50/2.34 = 1+g

1.0684 = 1+g

1.0684-1 = g

g=0.0684 or 6.84%

Therefore, g(y4-y5) = 6.84%

materials and supplies= 1,950 + 14*x

x= number of vehicles

A company ages its accounts receivables to determine its end of period adjustment for bad debts. At the end of the current year,
kogti [31]

Answer:

The required adjusting entry to record estimated bad debts expense is as follows:

Debit Bad Debts Accounts with $39,960

Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts with $39,960

Being the adjustment to bring the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts up a new credit balance of $43,625.

Explanation:

The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a credit balance of $3,665.  Since management had estimated that $43,625 of the Accounts Receivable balance would be uncollectible, this means that the difference $39,960 ($43,625 - $3,665) would be the adjusting amount to bring the balance up-to-date.

Remember that the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a contra account to the Accounts Receivable.  It is used to reduce the balance of the Accounts Receivable based on collectibility judgement or estimate which management makes out of experience.  The balance in this account is, therefore d,educted from the Accounts Receivable in the Balance Sheet in order to obtain the net Accounts Receivable balance.

The account that expenses the increase in this account is the Bad Debts Expense Account, which is taken to the Income Statement to reduce the income.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

a) Learning Costs Curve:

Quantity       Marginal           Total Cost ($)             Average Cost (Units)

                      Cost ($)                                                   ($/unit)

      1                $76                        $76                        $76

      2               $70                        $146                       $73

      3               $64                        $210                       $70

      4               $58                        $268                      $67

      5               $52                       $320                      $64

      6               $46                       $366                      $61

b) For a request for proposal for two units,  the break-even price for the two units is $146 ($73 per unit).

c) For two more units, the break-even price for them alone is $122 ($268 - $146).  Each unit's break-even price will be $61 ($122/2).

Explanation:

a) A break-even price is a price that is equal to the total cost.  At break-even, there is no profit and there is no loss.  The total cost equals total revenue.

b) The learning cost curve shows how the "marginal cost decreases as a result of an increase in production by one unit."  This curve can be illustrated graphically to show how the marginal and average costs reduce as a result of the increase in the quantity produced.
