Answer:

Bad Debt Expense for 20x2 is $50,245

Explanation:

Note: The full question is attached as picture below

Ending balance = Beginning balance + Sales on account or credit sales - Cash collected - Uncollected accounts

Beginning balance of Accounts receivable (given) = $850000

Credit sales in 20X2 = 80% * $3125000 = $2500000

Cash collections (given) = $2400000

Uncollectible accounts (given) = $52100

Ending balance = $850000 + $2500000 - $2400000 - $52100 = $897900

Allowance required to be made for 20X2 = 5% of Accounts receivables ending balance on 20X2  = 5% * $897900 = $44895

First we will write off uncollectible accounts of $52100 from the beginning balance of allowance for uncollectible accounts. (Beginning balance of allowance for doubtful accounts = $46750 ).

Difference = Beginning balance of allowance account - Uncollectible accounts = $46750 - $52100 = - $5350

It means that there is a shortfall of $5350 in the allowance for doubtful accounts. And, also a total of $44895 should be there in the credit of Allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of 20X2.  Allowance needed in 20X2 = $44895 + $5350 = $50,245 . So, the Bad debt expense for 20X2 is $50,245.

jonny [76]

Answer:

A, $12,000

Explanation:

Profit is the financial gain as a result of the difference between the selling price of a product and the cost/production cost of the product.

To calculate the profit from the sale of the bicycles, we use the formula

Profit = (marginal cost x quantity of bicycles) - Expenses.

we have,

Profit = ($200 x 100) - $8,000

Profit = $20,000 - $8,000

Profit = $12,000.

Cheers.

Tara wants to put a small portion of every paycheck into a low-risk investment. which would be her best option?
nydimaria [60]

Tara's best option to put a small portion of every paycheck into a low-risk investment is investing in an S&P 500 index fund.

<h3>What is a paycheck?</h3>

A paycheck can be defined as a financial document that is issued by an employer to an employee as payment for the work done over a period of time.

<h3>What is risk tolerance?</h3>

In Insurance, risk tolerance can be defined as the willingness of an individual or organization to take a risk in business transactions and investments, in order to get a potentially positive reward.

Generally, the high risk that is associated with investments such as stocks, high-yield bonds, etc., is often perceived by investors to be worth the higher reward these investment brings.

In this scenario, we can reasonably infer that Tara's best option to put a small portion of every paycheck into a low-risk investment is investing in an S&P 500 index fund.

Harry Corporation's common stock currently sells for $180 per share. Harry just paid a dividend of $10.18 and dividends are expe
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

$190.64

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Current selling price of shares = $180 per share

Dividend paid = $10.18

Expected growth rate, g = 6% = 0.06

Required rate of return, r = 12% = 0.12

Now,

The dividend for the following year to the next year, D1 = $10.18 × (1 + g)ⁿ

here, n = 2 ( i.e the duration of next year and the following year )

thus,

D1 = $10.18 × (1 + 0.06)²

or

D1 = $11.438

Therefore,

Price of stock one year from now = \frac{\textup{D1}}{\textup{(r-g)}}

= \frac{\textup{11.438}}{\textup{0.12-0.06}}

= 190.637 ≈ $190.64

The following income statement was produced when volume of sales was at 400 units. Sales Revenue $ 1,600 Variable Cost 700 Contr
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

If volume reaches 500 units, net income will be: $715

Explanation:

When  volume of sales was at 400 units:

Selling price per unit = Sales Revenue/400 = $1,600/400 = $4

Variable Cost per unit = Variable Cost/400 = $700/400 = $1.75

If volume reaches 500 units:

Total Sales Revenue = $4 x 500 = $2,000

Variable Cost = $1.75 x 500 = $875

Fixed Cost will not change = $410

Net income = Total Sales Revenue - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost = $2,000 - $875 - $410 = $715
