Answer:

$3,553

Explanation:

Credit losses = Net credit sales × Historical percentage of credit losses

= $131,750 × 3%

= $3,953

Allowance for doubtful account has a credit balance of $400

The estimated bad debt expense can therefore be calculated as:

Bad debt expense = Credit losses - Allowance for doubtful accounts credit balance

= $3,953 - $400

= $3,553

Hence, the estimated bad debt expense using the percentage of credit sales method is $3,553

A stock currently sells for $34 a share but is expected to increase in value over the next six months to at least $36 a share. A
Kruka [31]

Answer:  American call

Explanation:

The price of the underlying stock is going to increase to at least $36 which is more than the exercise price on the option of $35. The option that would have more value therefore is a Call option because call options make profit when the exercise price is less than the market price.

The more valuable call option between the European and American call options is the American call option. This is because with an American call option, the holder is free to call in the option at any point in time up to the exercise date while a European option has to wait till the exercise date.

The American Call option is therefore the option with the most value today.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

D)The yield to maturity of a callable bond is calculated as if the bond were called at the earliest opportunity.

Whenever it is low it generated the high return but it could not increase over and above to the call value at the time when the yield is less. Also prior to the call date the investors expected that the issuer would follow and the price of the bond represent the given strategy

but the yield to maturity should not be measured at the time when the bond can be called

Therefore d option should be considered
