Each of the following documents is used in the control of cash disbursements except a.cash register tapes. b.receiving reports.

GrogVix [38]

Answer: a. cash register tapes.

Explanation:

When you go to a shop and buy something at the till and the cashier prints a receipt and gives it to you, that paper is a cash register tape.

A cash register tape therefore shows the goods sold and the amount the goods were sold at. It is therefore not used as a method of control for cash disbursement which is cash going out of a business but rather for cash that is coming into the business.

A consumer downloads 4 movies and 3 apps per week. Suppose the price is $4 per movie and $4 per app, and the marginal utility th

Marginal utility will be calculated for movies by: 14/(4*4) which would mean 0.875 utils per dollar per movie. Whereas, for apps, it would be: 8/(3*4) which would mean utils per dollar per app to be 0.667. Hence, movies tend to carry higher utility.

O'Brien Ltd.'s outstanding bonds have a $1,000 par value, and they mature in 25 years. Their nominal yield to maturity is 9.25%,

kozerog [31]

Answer:

8.99%

Explanation:

For this question we use the PMT function that is presented on the excel spreadsheet. Kindly find it below:

Given that,

Present value = $975

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 9.25% ÷ 2 = 4.625%

NPER = 25 years × 2 = 50 years

The formula is shown below:

= PMT(Rate,NPER,-PV,FV,type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the PMT is $44.96

Now the annual PMT is

= $44.96 × 2

= $89.92

So, the coupon interest rate is

= $89.92 ÷ $1,000

= 8.99%

All sales are made on credit. Based on past experience, the company estimates 1% of credit sales to be uncollectible. What adjus

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)

Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)

Explanation:

This is an example of provision for doubtful debts. Provision for doubtful debts is an estimated amount of bad debts from accounts receivables that has been issues but not yet collected. This is done under the accrual accounting concept where an expense is identified as soon as invoices have been issued rather than waiting long periods to find out which invoice is irrecoverable. It is typically an estimate based on past experience.

In this question, the sales value has not been provided, hence an assumption is made:

Sales : $200,000

If provision for doubtful debts is 1% of sales and all sales is on credit, then the provision for doubtful debts amount is = 1% x $200,000 = $2000

Provision for doubtful debts is an accounts receivable contra account and thus has a credit balance and is recorded in the balance sheet, listed directly under accounts receivables.

The entry is recorded as:

Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)

Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)
