Answer: $520,000

Explanation:

A bad debt expense occurs when an economic entity which could be an individual or firm cannot collect a receivable because the said customer can't meet their obligations anymore.

The amount of bad debt expense recognized for the year will be the outstanding accounts receivable at year end multiplied by the percentage of uncollectible outstanding receivables. This will be:

= 8% × $6,500,000

= 8/100 × $6,500,000

= 0.08 × $6,500,000

= $520,000

Evans Ltd. is now considering the possibility of offering a lifetime membership option to its subscribers. Under this proposal,
Ahat [919]

Answer: $329.75

Explanation:

The one year subscription is $40 per year. It is estimated that the average age of current subscribers is 38 and they will leave on average to 78. This means that they will leave for,

= 78 - 38

= 40 years

Evans Ltd  average interest rate on long-term debt is 12% so this means that we can use that 12% as a discount rate for the cash-flow expected.

I have attached a Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity table to this question. It helps calculate annuities faster.

The above can be treated as an annuity because the $40 is constant every year.

The present value of the $40 over 40 years can be calculated by,

= $40 * present value Interest Factor of an Annuity for 40 years at 12% (look at the table for where 40 years on the y axis intersects with 12% on the x axis)

= $40 * 8.2438 (this is the figure when it is not rounded off to 3 dp)

= $329.752

= $329.75

This shows that the lifetime flat fee of $480 is more profitable for Evans Ltd as opposed to the yearly subscription. They should therefore try to sell more of the lifetime contract with the flat fee.

elixir [45]

Answer: The cases in which the Review Commission renders decisions arise from inspections conducted by a Federal agency separate from the Review Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which is a part of the Department of Labor. OSHRC, or the Review Commission, and OSHA were created by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, but the Act mandated that the Review Commission be an independent agency (i.e., not part of another Federal department) to ensure that parties to agency cases receive impartial hearings.

LO 8.4What is the main difference between a flexible budget and a master budget?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Flexible budget and master budget are very different.

Explanation:

The "master budget" is the sum of all the budgets that are prepared by a company's various departments. They include financial statements that are budgeted, a financing plan and a cash forecast. They are based on one specific level of production.  

A "flexible budget" is a budget that changes or adjusts when the level of activity changes. They are dynamic in nature and can be operated on many levels of output. It is realistic and not based on assumption.
