Question 3 1 pts

[p 271-278 [Bad debts refers to the amount of money customers owe that is not expected to be collected, or that you simply give-up on ever collecting. The net amount of "accounts receivable" may need to be adjusted to show that we do not really expect to collect everything that customers owe us.]

Most of the following statements are true about accounting for bad debts. Which statement is FALSE?

Question 6 1 pts

[p 276-286]. As a reminder from previous material, the formula for calculating interest is:

Principal x Interest Rate x Time

The Interest rate is always stated in "annual" terms. If the Time is other than one exact year, you must adjust for that. For instance, if the time were 3 months, the formula would be Principal x Interest Rate x 3/12. One could also express the time in days; the three months would become 90/360.] The bank loans Speedy Serve $6,000 so Speedy can install a new lift in its auto service bay. Speedy signs a promissory note to repay the $6,000 plus interest in 2 months. (It is a 60-day or 2-month note). The note carries interest at a rate of 8%. What is the total amount (principal plus interest) that Speedy must pay the bank when the note matures in 2 months?
