From inception of operations to December 31, 2020, Metlock
Corporation provided for uncollectible accounts receivable under
the allowance method. The provisions are recorded, based on
analyses of customers with different risk characteristics. Bad
debts written off were charged to the allowance account; recoveries
of bad debts previously written off were credited to the allowance
account, and no year-end adjustments to the allowance account were
made. Metlock’s usual credit terms are net 30 days.
The balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was $114,400 (Cr.)
at January 1, 2020. During 2020, credit sales totaled $7,920,000,
the provision for doubtful accounts was determined to be $158,400,
$79,200 of bad debts were written off, and recoveries of accounts
previously written off amounted to $13,200. Metlock installed a
computer system in November 2020, and an aging of accounts
receivable was prepared for the first time as of December 31, 2020.
A summary of the aging is as follows.

Based on the review of collectibility of the account balances in
the “prior to 1/1/20” aging category, additional receivables
totaling $52,800 were written off as of December 31, 2020. The 80%
uncollectible estimate applies to the remaining $79,200 in the
category. Effective with the year ended December 31, 2020, Metlock
adopted a different method for estimating the allowance for
doubtful accounts at the amount indicated by the year-end aging
analysis of accounts receivable.
Prepare a schedule analyzing the changes in Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts for the year ended December 31, 2020. Show
supporting computations in good form. (Hint: In computing
the 12/31/20 allowance, subtract the $52,800 write-off.)

In the United States, males between the ages of 40 and 49 eat on average 105.1 g of fat every day with a standard deviation of 4.5 g ("What we eat," 2012). Assume that the amount of fat a person eats is normally distributed.
(a) State the random variable.
(b) Find the probability that a man age 40-49 in the U.S. eats more than 110 g of fat every day.
(c) Find the probability that a man age 40-49 in the U.S. eats less than 93 g of fat every day.
(d) Find the probability that a man age 40-49 in the U.S. eats between 65 g and 100 g of fat every day.
(e) If you found a man age 40-49 in the U.S. who says he eats less than 65 g of fat every day, would you believe him? Why or why not?
(f) What daily fat level do 95% of all men age 40-49 in the U.S. eat less than?
