The life expectancy for females in a certain country born during 1980−1985 was approximately 75.2 years. This grew to 76 years during 1985−1990 and to 76.2 years during 1990−1995. Construct a model for this data by finding a quadratic equation whose graph passes through the points ​(0,75.2​),​(5​,76​),and ​(10​,76.2​). Use this model to estimate the life expectancy for females born between 1995 and 2000 and for those born between 2000 and 2005.

Let x be the number of years since 1980 and y be the life expectancy for a person born between ​(1980+​x) and

​(1980+x+​5). Find a quadratic equation whose graph passes through the points ​(0,75.2​), ​(5​,76​), and ​(10​,76.2​).

Y=?

According to the model, the life expectancy of a female born between 1995 and 2000 in this country is ___?_ years.

According to the model, the life expectancy of a female born between 2000 and 2005 in this country is __?__ years.

Part 1: Accounts Receivables and Allowance Method

Orion Co. is a large wholesaler of blankets. At the end of 2017, the company’s controller estimates 5% of the $850,000 in Accounts Receivable will be uncollectible.

Write the journal entry to record Bad Debt Expense for the period if the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance of $10,200 before this adjusting entry is posted:

12/31/17  

                       

How does the posting of this journal entry affect the accounting equation?

What is the Net Realizable Value of Accounts Receivable reported in Orion Co.’s balance sheet as of Dec. 31, 2017?

(Continuation of question 1). Assume that during 2017, a total of $14,900 Accounts Receivable has to be written off due to customers’ inability to pay what they owe Orion Co.  

What journal entry would be used to record this write-off of $14,900?

12/31/17

                  

How does the posting of this journal entry affect the accounting equation?

What is the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance after this write off? (Your answer should indicate the amount and whether it is a Debit or Credit balance. Hint: Use a T-account to determine your answer.)

Orion Co. assumes that at the end of 2018, 5% of its new $900,000 Accounts Receivable balance will be uncollectible.
