ABC company had 8,000 in accounts receivable on Dec. 31, 2019. However, the company estimated that 2,000 of them would become bad debt. The company recorded the 2,000 as bad debt. What is the impact on the financial statement?

Answers

Answer:

Net income is reduced by 2,000 and the net value of receivables on balance sheet reduced by 2,000

Explanation:

Since it is given that there is $8,000 in account receivable out of which $2,000 would be estimated and recorded as a bad debt

So here the bad debt expense is recorded that means the expenses are increased that ultimately reduced the net income also at the same time the amount of receivable would also decreased by $2,000

Therefore the same is to be considered

Chuck Russo, a high school math teacher, wants to set up an IRA account into which he will deposit $2,000 per year. He plans to teach for 20 more years and then retire. If the interest on his account is 7% compounded annually, how much will be in his account when he retires?

Answers

Answer:

FV= $819,909.85

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Anual deposit= $20,000

Number of periods= 20 years

Interest rate= 7%

To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {20,000*[(1.07^20) - 1]} / 0.07

FV= $819,909.85

Total Sales = 330 (230 + 100) units                                               $29,182

Ending Inventory = 140 (470 - 330) units

1. For specific identification, Cost of goods sold:

March 9 sale 50 units from beginning inventory at $50.40 = $2,520

and 180 units from the March 5 purchase at $55.40 = 9,972

March 29 sale 30 units from the March 18 purchase at $60.40 = 1,812  

and 70 units from the March 25 purchase at $62.40 = 4,368

Total for cost of goods sold under specific identification = $18,672

Ending Inventory = Cost of goods available for sale minus Cost of goods sold

= $8,206 ($26,878 - $18,672)

Weighted Average:

Cost of goods Sold

March 9 sales of 230 units at $54.15 ($3,528+11,634)/280 =   $12,454.50

March 29 sales of 100 units at $60.10 $2,707.50+4,228+7,488) 6,010.00

Total cost of goods sold = $18,464.50

Ending Inventory = 140 units at $60.10 = $8,414

Workings:

Balance of inventory of 50 units at $54.15  2,707.50

Purchases                      70 units at $60.40    4,228

Assume that a company’s dividends per share are projected to grow at 2% each year, its next year’s dividends per share is $1.80, and its cost of equity capital is 5%. Estimate the company’s per share stock price. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer:

P0 = $60

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

Where,

D1 is dividend expected for the next period /year

g is the growth rate

r is the required rate of return or cost of equity

P0 = 1.8 / (0.05 - 0.02)

P0 = $60

Answers

Answer:

$13,920

Explanation:

Calculation to Determine the machines' second year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method

First step is to calculate the depreciation rate

Using this formula

Depreciation rate = 100% / Useful life *2

Let plug in the formula

Depreciation rate == (100%/5years) * 2

Depreciation rate =40%

Second Step

Year 1 =$87,000 *40% *2

Year 1= $69,600

Third step is to Determine the machines' second year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method

Year 2 Depreciation = ($87,000 - $69,600) *40% *2

Year 2 Depreciation= $13,920

Therefore the machines' second year depreciation under the double-declining-balance method will be $13,920

The transaction type which has the highest A.P.R is the "A.P.R. triggered by late payment". A further explanation is below.

As nothing more than a consequence for delayed payment or transactions, the maximum percentage change ratio (APR) of involvement is typically applied.The interest rate on direct deposits seems to be greater than that of the interest rate on initial transactions or settlement systems, but again not better or more than that of the interest rate on overdue installments or charges.

Samuelson's has a debt–equity ratio of 43 percent, sales of $10,000, net income of $1,700, and total debt of $8,700. What is the return on equity?

Answers

Answer:

8.40%

Explanation:

Calculation for the return on equity

First step is to calculate the equity using this formula

Equity=Total debt/Debt–equity ratio

Let plug in the formula

Equity=$8,700/43%

Equity=$20,233

A company purchased a new delivery van at a cost of $58,000 on July 1. The delivery van is estimated to have a useful life of 4 years and a salvage value of $4,600. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. How much depreciation expense will be recorded for the van during the first year ended December 31?a. $13,350.
b. $6,260.
c. $6,675.
d. $7,250.
e. $5,750.

Answers

Answer:

a. $13,350

Explanation:

Using straight-line method of depreciation the depreciable value of an assets is expensed over the useful life of the asset equally each year.

Use following formula to calculate the depreciable value

Depreciable value = Cost of asset  - Salvage value

Placing values in the formula

Depreciable value = $58,000 - $4,600

Depreciable value = $53,400

Now use following formula to calculate the depreciation value of each year

Depreciation expense = Depreciable value of the asset / Useful life of the asset

Placing values in the formula

Depreciation expense = $53,400 / 4 years

Depreciation expense = $13,350

What is the effect on​ China's aggregate demand when the United States goes into​ recession, when Japanese and European firms establish new plants in​ China, or when the Chinese yuan strengthens against the U.S.​ dollar?

Answers

Answer:

When the United States goes into recession - China's aggregate demand suffers greatly, meaning that it is reduced. This is because China is an important exporter of goods to the United States, so the exports element of Aggregate Demand will fall, bringing down Aggregate Demand as a whole.

When Japanese and European firms establish new plants in​ China - Chinese aggregate demand increases because more private investment from abroad arrives in the country, not only benefiting the Japanese owners, but also Chinese workers in the form of wages, Chinese companies in the form of more domestic consumption, and the Chinese government in the form of more tax revenue.

when the Chinese yuan strengthens against the U.S.​ dollar? - Aggregate demand will probably fall because a stronger yuan will decrease Chinese exprots, and increase American imports to China, and imports are not part of the Aggregate Demand calculation.

A bond with a face value of $1,000 has and 9.29 percent coupon and pays interest semiannually. The current yield is 7.77 percent. What is the price of the bond?

Answers

Answer:

The price of the bond is $1,195.62

Explanation:

Current yield is the ratio of coupon payment of a bond to its current market price.  It is calculated by using coupon payment and the current market value of the bond.

Using following formula of current yield we can calculate the price of the bond

Current Yield = Annual Coupon Payment / Current Market Price

Where

Coupon Payment = $1,000 x 9.29% = $92.9

Current Yield = 7.77%

Placing values in te formula

7.77% = $92.9 / Market value of the bond

Market value of bond = $92.90 / 7.77%

Market value of bond = $1,195.62

With a planned volume of 15,000 units, the master budget includes variable costs of $450,000 and fixed costs of $350,000. If the actual volume is 12,000 units, the total costs under flexible budget should be:__________a. $490,000.b. $560,000.c. $650,000.d. $710,000.

Answers

Answer:

Total cost= $710,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

15,00 units:

Fixed costs= $350,000

Total variable cost= $450,000

First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:

Unitary variable cost= 450,000 / 15,000

Unitary variable cost= $30

Now, the total cost for 12,000 units:

Total cost= 350,000 + 30*12,000

Total cost= $710,000
