Answer:
$5,140
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Uncollectible Accounts receivable = $5,800
Balance of Accounts Receivable = $108,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $660
Credit sales during the year = $166,000
Now,
Bad debt expense = Uncollectible Receivables - Allowance of doubtful debts
or
Bad debt expense = $5,800 - $660
or
Bad debt expense = $5,140
Answer:
Comparative advantage
Explanation:
This concept of economics is comparative advantage that means one country has advantage of producing same product at lower cost than other. In this question China has comparative advantage over USA,
This may be due to different reasons.
1. Population of China is greater than USA, that is why employees are willing to work on low salaries in China as compared to salaries are offered in the US.
2. China is comparatively better in manufacturing industry as of with USA.
Answer:
4,513 approx.
Explanation:
The computation of the minimum number of jars of silver polish is shown below:-
Sales revenue for one jar of silver polish $5.60
Sales revenue for 1/4 pound of Grit 337 0.85
($3.40 × 1 ÷ 4)
Incremental revenue from
further processing $4.75
($5.60 - 0.85)
Incremental costs of further processing:
Processing costs $2.40
Selling costs $0.40 $2.80
Incremental contribution
margin from further
processing into silver polish
per jar $1.95
($4.75 - $2.80)
Point of indifference denotes the point where all options are equally profitable. But after that we will see that more processing is profitable. This is due to the fixed costs involved in further production.
Thus Minimum number of jars needed to produce to justify the further processing = Avoidable Fixed cost ÷ Incremental contribution
= $8,800 ÷ $1.95
= 4,513 approx.
Answer:
I would fire Gary.
Explanation:
Even if Gary has a better sales record, he seems to be unable to keep good personal relationships, both with coworkers and clients. This in the long-run could become more problematic and lead to a decline in sales record, and also, a decline in other areas.
Brenda, on the other hand, needs to improve her sales record, but she has strong interpersonal skills that give her an advatange. It is easier to teach a person how to sell than how to be a well-mannered person, therefore, in theory, if should not be so difficult to help Brenda reach higher sales.
Answer:
First Expected Dividend will come in at the end of Year 3 or t=3 assuming current time is t=0.
D3 = $ 4.25, Growth Rate for year 4 and year 5 = 22.1 %
Therefore, D4 = D3 x 1.221 = 4.25 x 1.221 = $ 5.18925 and D5 = D4 x 1.221 = 5.18925 x 1.221 = $ 6.33607
Growth Rate post Year 5 = 4.08 %
D6 = D5 x 1.0408 = 6.33607 x 1.0408 = $ 6.59459
Required Return = 13.6 %
Therefore, Current Stock Price = Present Value of Expected Dividends = [6.59459 / (0.136-0.0408)] x [1/(1.136)^(5)] + 4.25 / (1.136)^(3) + 5.18925 / (1.136)^(4) + 6.33607 / (1.136)^(5) = $ 45.979 ~ $ 45.98
Price at the end of Year 2 = P2 = Present Value of Expected Dividends at the end of year 2 = [6.59459 / (0.136-0.0408)] x [1/(1.136)^(3)] + 4.25 / (1.136) + 5.18925 / (1.136)^(2) + 6.33607 / (1.136)^(3) = $ 59.3358 ~ $ 59.34
Dividend Yield at the end of year 3 = DY3 = D3 / P2 = 4.25 / 59.34 = 0.07612 or 7.612 %
Total Required Return = 14. 6 %
Therefore, Required Capital Gains Yield = 14.6 % - 7.612 % = 6.988 %
