Answer:
Interest Receivable (Dr.) $250
Interest Revenue (Cr.) $250
Explanation:
Notions Co. has borrowed money from Lemming and will have to pay cost for it which is a source of fund (revenue) for Lemming. According to the Accrual concept of accounting, revenue should be recognized when earned and not when cash is received. At year end, the interest revenue of two months has been accrued, so it needs to be recognized in the Books of Lemming.
⇒ 18,750 * 8% = 1,500 p.a.
OR Interest Revenue for two months = (1,500/12) * 2 = $250.
Answer:
Project 1
Explanation:
IO PI IRR LIFE
Project 1 $300,000 1.12 14.38% 15 years
Project 2 $150,000 1.08 13.32% 6 years
Project 3 $100,000 1.20 16.46% 3 years
Assume that the cost of capital is 12%.
We should invest in the projects that have the highest profitability index (PI) first.
PI = present value of project's cash flows / initial outlay
Projects with a high PI should also have high IRRs and this applies to this situation:
- Project 3 has a PI of 1.2 and an IRR of 16.46%
- Project 1 has a PI of 1.12 and an IRR of 14.38%
- Project 2 has a PI of 1.08 and an IRR of 13.32%
If the protects weren't mutually exclusive and the company had enough money for the 3 of them, then it should invest in all of them. But that is not the case, here, since the company has to decide in which project it will invest (only 1 project). The first option should be project 3, but since it cannot be repeated, and its life is short, I would go for project 1.
Besides, it is the only possible answer since you have to choose only 1 project (remember projects are mutually exclusive).
Answer:
So the value that separates the bottom 25% of data from the top 75% is -0.00235.
Explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where 
and 
For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:
(a)
(b)
Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.
As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.25 of the area on the left and 0.75 of the area on the right it's z=-0.674. On this case P(Z<-0.674)=0.25 and P(z>-0.674)=0.75
If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:
But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:
And if we solve for a we got
So the value that separates the bottom 25% of data from the top 75% is -0.00235.
Answer:
The total estimated uncollectible debt is $6000 as computed below
Explanation:
The total estimated uncollectible debt is computed as follows:
Accounts not yet due $25000*4% $1000
Accounts 1-60 days past due $10000*25% $2500
Accounts more than 60 days $5000*50% <u>$2500</u>
Total estimated uncollectible debt <u> $6000</u>
The necessary journal entry to record this estimate is shown below:
Dr bad debt expense $5000
Cr Allowance for uncollectible debt $5000
Even though $6000 is the estimated uncollectible, the implication is that the closing balance in allowance for uncollebtible debt should be $6000,since there is a credit of $1000 already in the account, the balance required to top it up to $6000 is $5000
