At the end of 2019, Bramble Corp. has accounts receivable of $740,200 and an allowance for doubtful accounts of $69,900. On Janu

ki77a [65]

Answer:

The journal to record the write-off is:

Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts $6,400

Credit Accounts receivable $6,400

Cash realizable value of the accounts receivable (1) before the write-off is $670,300 (2) after the write-off is $670,300.

Explanation:

The write-off would impact the allowance for doubtful accounts and the accounts receivable since Bramble Corp. uses the allowance method. See the journals as recorded above.
The balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts would have reduced by $6,400 upon the write-off, so did the balance in the accounts receivable, so the effect of the write-off evens out. That led to the cash realizable value of $670,300.

Assume that you wish to purchase a 20-year bond that has a maturity value of $1,000 and makes semiannual interest payments of $4

Savatey [412]

Answer:

$828.36

Explanation:

As for the information provided,

The value = $1,000

Life = 20 years, since interest is semi annual, effective period = 20 $\times$ $\frac{12}{6}$ = 40 periods.

Semi annual interest = $40

Annual interest = 10%, effective interest rate = 5%

Future Value Interest rate = $40 $\times (\frac{1}{(1+0.05)^1} +\frac{1}{(1+0.05)^2} +\frac{1}{(1+0.05)^3} +\frac{1}{(1+0.05)^4} +\frac{1}{(1+0.05)^5} +\frac{1}{(1+0.05)^6} +\frac{1}{(1+0.05)^7} +.................. + \frac{1}{(1+0.05)^4^0} )$

= $40 $\times$ 17.159 = $686.36

Future Value of Principal = $1,000 $\times \frac{1}{(1 + 0.05)^4^0}$

= $1,000 $\times$ 0.142 = $142

Thus, current price of bond = $686.36 + $142 = $828.36

Rory Company has a machine with a book value of $75,000 and a remaining five-year useful life. A new machine is available at a c

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

It is a good investment, the company should purchase the machine and sale the old one.

Explanation:

$\right[\begin{array}{cccc}-&old&new&differential\\purchase&0&-112,500&-112,500\\proceed \:from \:sale&0&60,000&60,000\\cost \:savings&0&13,000&13,000\\total \:cost \:saving&0&65,000&65,000\\Net&0&78,000&12,500\\\end{array}\right]$

We post the purchase cost and the proceeds from the machine sale,

The book value of the machine is irrelevant, we are looking to save cash. The old machine value is a sunk cost. It is a cost already incurred. We don't use it in the calculations.

Then we calculate the saving for five years.

Last, we add the differential analysis column.

Because is gives a positive amount, purchase the new machien would be a good idea.
