Solution 1:
a. The bad debt expenses can be calculated based on estimated percentage as provision on closing trade receivables. For example, trade receivables are $100,000 and the estimated bad debt percentage is 2% of closing trade receivable as bad debt expenses so bad debt expenses will be $100,000 * 2% = $2,000.
b. Accounts receivable is an informal contract between entity and customers and generally last up to one year (Steven Bragg, 2019). Further generally, there is no interest cost element in accounts receivables. Notes receivables are formal and legal contract which generally occurs over a year and includes interest component.
c. Calculation of notes receivables components:
	Issue date of notes receivables
	01.10.2019
	Period of notes receivables
	90 days
	Maturity date of notes receivables
	01.10.2019+ 90 days = 29.12.2019
	
	
	Interest rate
	8%
	Notes receivable amount
	25,000
	Interest amount
	25,000*8% *90/365 = 493

Solution 2:
1. Straight line method:
Depreciation under straight line- Method = (cost of the asset – salvage value) / Estimated useful life of asset
Year 1 = (312,000 – 28,000) / 5 = 284,000 / 5 = 56,800 
Year 2 = (312,000 – 28,
