The Marital Counseling Center, Inc. (MCC) thinks that the high divorce rate in the state may require them to hire additional staff. Working with a consultant, the management of MCC has developed the following probability distribution for the number of new clients for marriage counseling for the next year. a. Is this probability distribution valid?
1. Yes
2. No
Explain.
f(x)
1. greater than or equal to 0
2. less than or equal to 0
3. greater than or equal to 1
4. less than or equal to 1
? f(x)
1. equal to 1
2. not equal to 1
3. greater than 1
4. less than 1
b. What is the probability MCC will obtain more than 30 new clients (to 2 decimals)?
c. What is the probability MCC will obtain fewer than 20 new clients(to 2 decimals)?
d. Compute the expected value and variance of x.
Expected value clients per year
Variance squared clients per year

Swathmore clothing corporation grants its customers 30 days' credit. the company uses the allowance method for its uncollectible accounts receivable. during the year, a monthly bad debt accrual is made by multiplying 3% times the amount of credit sales for the month. at the fiscal year-end of december 31, an aging of accounts receivable schedule is prepared and the allowance for uncollectible accounts is adjusted accordingly. at the end of 2012, accounts receivable were dollar 586.000 and the allowance account had a credit balance of dollar 50,000. accounts receivable activity for 2013 was as follows: the company's controller prepared the following aging summary of year-end accounts receivable: prepare a summary journal entry to record the monthly bad debt accrual and the write-offs during the year.
