Answer:
On February 1, a customer's account balance of $2,700 was deemed to be uncollectible.
The entry to be recorded on February 1 to record the write-off assuming the company uses the allowance method is:
Debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $2,700; credit Accounts Receivable $2,700.
Explanation:
Using the allowance method, every bad debt entry is first reflected in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts before it is taken to the bad debt expense account.
The entries above reduce the Accounts Receivable account by the amount of the write-off and reduces the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts by the same amount. Any recovery of written off debt is also treated in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and the Accounts Receivable account in revised order. This method is unlike the direct write-off method. With the direct write-off method, the Accounts Receivable is credited with the amount of the write-off and the write-off is expensed in the Bad Debts Expense account directly.
Answer:
0.1046 or 10.46%
Explanation:
The computation of the sustainable growth rate is shown below:
The Sustainable growth rate of the firm is
= Return on Equity × ( 1 - Dividend Payout Ratio )
where,
Dividend Payout Ratio = 30%
And,
Return on equity is
= Net Income ÷ Shareholder 's equity
= $3660 ÷ $ 24,500
= 0.14938
So,
Sustainable growth rate is
= 0.14938 × (1 - 30%)
= 0.1046 or 10.46%
<span>The change in the stockholders' equity during the given year was $111,000. Working out the math, if you take the $132,500 reported investor equity at the beginning of the year and add the $115,000 in total revenues to that, minus the $104,500 in expenses and $39,000 in cash dividends you get $104,000. Take the total calculated assets of $215,000 at the the end of the year, subtract the difference between $215,000 and $104,000 and the answer is $111,000.</span>
Answer:
The times interest earned ratio will reduce
Explanation:
The times interest earned ratio is a ratio that looks at how many times a companies earnings from operations can cover the loan interest it has to pay in a year.
It is calculated by the formula Earnings Before Interest and Tax divided by the interest expense.
Therefore looking at the scenario, if HCA increases its debt level by issuing a $1.53 billion bond, this will increase its interest expense significantly and the number of times its earnings will cover its interest expense will be remarkably lower.
Therefore the times interest earned ratio will reduce
Answer:
Projects D and E should be purchased.
Explanation:
since the firm's capital structure is 60% debt and 40% equity, it can pursue up to 2 projects. Only projects D, E and F have an internal rate of return higher than the company's WACC, so project G is discarded immediately.
Since projects D and E have a higher IRR, they should be selected.
- project D: $70,000, IRR = 18%, debt = $42,000, equity = $28,000
- project E: $85,000, IRR = 15%, debt = $51,000, equity = $34,000
- total equity invested = $62,000
