January–June 4,20,000 25%

category, additional receivables totaling Tk.60,000 were written off as of December 31,
2010. The 80% uncollectible estimate applies to the remaining Tk.90,000 in the category.

estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts at the amount indicated by the year-end
aging analysis of accounts receivable.
Instructions:

year ended December 31, 2010. Show supporting computations in good form. (Hint: In

Accounts balance as of December 31, 2010.

adjustments to the equity sections, especially retained earnings, might discourage
potential investors. The board has considered three options for stimulating interest in the
shares:
(1) A 20% shares dividend;
(2) A 100% share dividend;
(3) A 2–for–1 share split.
Required:
Acting as financial advisor to the board, you have been asked to report briefly on each option
and considering the board’s wishes, make a recommendation. Discuss the effects of each of
the foregoing options.
