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.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

The present value of the future earnings is $51,981,214.36

Explanation:

The present value of the earning can be calculated by discounting the earnings for the next five years along with calculating the terminal value of earnings at the end of the five years when the growth rate in earnings becomes constant and discounting it back to the present value.

Taking the value in millions,

Present Value = 1 * (1+0.3) / (1+0.08)  +  1 * (1+0.3)^2 / (1+0.08)^2  +  

1 * (1+0.3)^3 / (1+0.08)^3  +  1 * (1+0.3)^4 / (1+0.08)^4  +  1 * (1+0.3)^5 / (1+0.08)^5  + [( 1 * (1+0.3)^5 * (1+0.02) / (0.08 - 0.02)) / (1+0.08)^5]

Present value = $51.98121436 million or $51,981,214.36
