While I look around the web at purchasing books for my college classes, I can't help but wonder if buying online and saving a few bucks will actually help in the long run. If I can't deduct the shipping amount paid then a lot of the time it's probably not...

I'm just flat out not seeing a connection here. Can someone please enlighten me if there is actually a reason why?

Bob and Larry were finishing the financial statements for their business when they saw the net income for the year was not going to be as large as they had hoped. Concerned that the bank would question the lower reported net income, Bob suggested that they reduce the percentage used to estimate uncollectible accounts for the current year from 5% of credit sales to 1% of of credit sales. Larry quickly pointed out that, for the last seven years, the bad debts always approximated 5% of the total credit sales. Bob then said that the key was simply that an "estimate" was used to compute the bad debt expense, so why not simply change the percentage from the "5% estimate" to a "1% estimate"? Larry was concerned because the change was not due to new business information; rather is was due to pressure to increase the current year's profit by reducing the amount of bad debt expense currently included in the income statement. He told Bob that the current year credit sales were $6,587,000 and the Bad Debt Expense should be 5% or $329,350, not 1% or $65,870, because they could expect that, over the next fiscal year, approximately $329,000 of Accounts Receivable would end up as uncollectible. Bob pointed out, however, that by only using a 1% estimate the current year net income would be much larger since the amount of Bad Debt Expense would only be $65,870 instead of the larger $329,350. He also noted that the allowance account would also be reduced so the net Accounts Receivable on the balance sheet would be larger as well. Besides, Bob told Larry that they could worry about it in the next fiscal year. Larry told Bob that the bank would find out what they had done, to which Bob said there would be no problem; they could just say they made a mistake in their estimate.

QUESTIONS:

1. Would it be unethical to change the percentage used to compute the current year's Bad Debt Expense?

2. Would it be acceptable to change the percentage amount if the change was disclosed?

3. Would it be acceptable if they comprised and used 3%?

4. If they had used a new screening method to determine the creditworthiness of customers and, as a result, they were certain that the bad debts would be drastically reduced, could they change the percentage amount used?

5. What do you think would happen if they used the 1% of credit sales for the current year's financial statements?

6. What would you recommend?

Two recommendations are given for substitution. Verify that they both solve the integral f√1+(√ x) / √x dx

(a) u = 1 + √x

(b) u = √1+(√x)

Evaluate the integral ∫(x+1) √(2x+x^2) dx

I'm having a hard time with these. Please show steps if you can. Thanks for you help

During the summer months Terry makes and sells necklaces on the beach. Last summer he sold the necklaces for $10 each and his sales averaged 20 per day. When he increased the price by $1, he found that the average decreased by two sales per day.

(a) Find the demand function, assuming that it is linear.

(b) If the material for necklaces costs Terry $6, what should the selling price be to maximize his profit?

Use differential to approximate quantity 65^(2/3)

Thanks for your help. Please show steps

Please show steps.

If C(q) = 16,000 + 500q - 1.6q^2 + 0.004q^3 is the cost function and p(q) = 1700 - 7q is the demand function, find the production level that will maximize profit.

Use logarithmic differentiation to find the derivative of y = ln (x + 1)^(ln(x^2-1))

Please show steps so I can hopefully understand how to solve this on my own next time

I'm just looking for the steps to solve this problem. Obviously I know you can't sketch it for me on yahoo answers and I know I can just input the function into google and it spits out the graph, but I need to know how to solve this so I can get it on my upcoming test.

Sketch the graph of f(x) = (x^4) - (4x^4) + 2. Be sure to find all important points of the function.

Thank you for your help!

if C(q) is the cost of producting q units of a commodity, then the average cost per unit is cˉ = C(q) / q.

a) Show that if the average cost is a minimum, then the marginal cost equals the average cost.

b) If C(q) = 16,000 +200q + 4q^(3/2) find the cost, average cost, and marginal cost at a production level of 1000 units.

Please show steps if you can. I'm equally interested in understanding how to solver as I am in attaining the correct answers.

Thank you so much for you time and help.
