Thus, the Allowance for doubtful debt at December 31, 2022 = $4,950 - $1,200

Allowance for doubtful debt at December 31, 2022 = $3,750

Answer:

The total required amount is $7,056.46

Explanation:

Given the following details:

You aim to accumulate enough savings to produce an annual cash flow of $55,000 for 25 years during retirement. How much should you save each year, assuming a return of 7.5 percent on your savings?

Final value = 55,000 * 25 = 1,375,000

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

A represents the annual contribution.

To isolate A:

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

A = (1,375,000*0.075)/[(1.075^38)-1]= $7,056.46

Response:

b. A reduction in the YTM.

Detail:

The valuation of the bond is derived from the present worth of expected cash flows. When determining these present values for cash inflows or the bond's price, the YTM is utilized for discounting. It is known that a higher interest rate results in a lower present value, whereas a lower interest rate yields a greater present value. Interest rates and present value have an inverse relationship. Thus, a decrease in YTM will enhance the bond's price.
