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 recent study conducted by Estelle Cosmetics Company showed that heavy users of Estelle's products comprise a small percentage
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer: Segmentation by usage

Explanation: Segmentation by usage splits customers according to how often they use a product. Using segmentation by usage, customers can be classified into non - users, who don't use the product at all, light and medium users, who can range from little usage of the product to average use of the product, and heavy users, who mostly use these products.

From thr first paragraph it is clear that usage segmentation is used to separate the user's into different classes based on their usage, and identify which class to target when it comes to sales. At Estelle Cosmetics Company, it was deduced that of this company's total sales, less than 7% of this market are heavy users. These users purchase nearly 71% of the company's products. This company will probably focus their marketing efforts on the heavy users, as they contribute to the majority of sales within their company.

The range of S is 74 while that of P is 37 across the two states. What is the hedge ratio of the put
lorasvet [3.4K]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

We will derive a two-state put option value in this problem.

Data: S₀ = 106; X = 112; 1 + r = 1.12. The two possibilities for ST are 149 and 75.

The range of S is 74 while that of P is 37 across the two states. What is the hedge ratio of the put

Answer: the hedge ratio of the put H = - 1/2 ≈ - 0.5

Explanation:

Given that;

S₀ = 106, X = 112, 1 + r = 1.12

Us₀ = 149 ⇒ Pu = 0

ds₀ = 75 ⇒ Pd = 37

To find the Hedge ratio using the expression

H = Pu - Pd /Us₀ - ds₀

so we substitute

H = 0 - 37 / 149 - 75

H = - 37/ 74

H = - 1/2 ≈ - 0.5

igor_vitrenko [27]

Ending Inventory (60 units):

Absorption Costing = $66,000

Variable Costing = $56,400

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Unit Production Costs for March:

Direct materials     $500

Variable overhead   440

Total variable cost $940

Fixed overhead        160

Total manufacturing

  costs per unit   $1,100

Calculation of Ending Units of Inventory:

Beginning units     100

Units produced = 500

Units sold =         (540)

Ending units =        60

Beginning Inventory, 100 units:

Absorption costing value = $90,000

Variable costing value = $76,000

FIFO Inventory Method:

Ending Inventory:

Absorption Costing = 60 * $1,100 = $66,000

Variable Costing = 60 * $940 =       $56,400
