Margaret is the manager of a medium-size company. A few years ago, Margaret persuaded the owner to base a part of her compensati

on on the net income of the company. Each December she estimates year-end financial figures in anticipation of the bonus she will receive. If the bonus is not as high as she would like, she offers several recommendations to the accountant for year-end adjustments. One of her favorite recommendations is for the controller to reduce the estimate of doubtful accounts. 1.

Answer:

  • Overstates the Net Income in Income statement
  • Overstates Accounts Receivable in Balance Sheet

Explanation:

The estimate for doubtful debt serves a very important role in accounting because it ensures that a company is ready for the possibility of bad debt occurring. Without it, a company would have to deal with bad debts as they come and this can damage profit projections.

It is treated as an expense in the business so in reducing it, Margaret is reducing the expenses which will increase the net income. This net income will be overstated however because the estimate for doubtful accounts should be higher than it is.

Estimates for doubtful debt are deducted from the Accounts Receivable balance in the Balance sheet so if it is reduced, the Accounts Receivable balance will not be reduced as much as it should be which would mean that is is overstated or higher than it should be.

IMB Corporation recently reported an EBITDA of $22.5 million and $5.4 million of net income. The company has $6 million interest
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

$8.2 million

Explanation:

As per given data

EBITDA         $22.5

Net Income    $5.4 Million

Interest Expense = $6 million

Tax rate = 35%

As we know the Tax is deducted from the income before tax to calculate the net income. We will calculate the Earning before tax first.

EBT = Net Income x 100% / ( 100% - 35% )

EBT = 5.4 million x 100% / 65%

EBT = $8.3 million

Now we need to calculate the Earning Before interest and Tax

EBIT = EBT + Tax Expense = $8.3 million + $6 million = $14.3 million

The Difference between EBIT and EBITDA is depreciation and amortization expense.

Depreciation and Amortization expense = EBITDA - EBIT = $22.5 million - $14.3 million = $8.2 million

Trava [24]

Answer:

Loss of $500

Explanation:

Given that

Stock price = 123

Strike price = 125

Premium price = 5

Recall that

Long call profit = (MAX (stock price - strike price, 0) - premium per share

Thus,

Long call profit = Max [0, ($123 - $125)(100)] - $500

= - $500.

Therefore, the negative sign in front indicates a loss of $500

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Software as a Service (SaaS)

Explanation:

Software as a service (SaaS) allows users connected to cloud-based applications over the Internet and use them. Some common examples are email, calendars and office tools (such as Microsoft Office 365).

SaaS offers a comprehensive software solution that is acquired from a cloud service provider through a pay-per-use model. It is possible to rent the use of an application for the organization and users connect to it through the Internet, usually with a web browser. All underlying infrastructure, middleware, software and application data are located in the provider's data center. The service provider manages the hardware and software and, with the appropriate service contract, will also guarantee the availability and security of the application and data. SaaS allows an organization to get started and can run applications with a minimal initial cost.
