Rolls-Royce, the luxury automobile manufacturer, is considering a production process for its Ghost model. The current process incurs variable costs of £80,000 per unit and fixed costs of £15 million per year. The proposed new process would reduce variable costs to £70,000 per unit but increase fixed costs to £18 million per year. Rolls-Royce expects to produce and sell 500 Ghost models next year. What is the difference in total costs between the current and proposed processes? At what production volume would the total costs of the two processes be equal (i.e., the break-even point between the two processes)? Which process should Rolls-Royce choose if they expect sales to grow in the coming years? On December 31, 2023, Marriott International, the global hospitality company, reported accounts receivable of $1.8 billion and an allowance for doubtful accounts of $120 million on its balance sheet. During 2024, Marriott recorded credit sales of $15 billion and collected $14.7 billion from customers. The company wrote off $90 million of uncollectible accounts during the year. At the end of 2024, Marriott estimated that 3% of its outstanding accounts receivable would be uncollectible. What is the amount of bad debt expense Marriott should recognize for 2024? What will be the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts at the end of 2024? What will be the net accounts receivable reported on Marriott's balance sheet as of December 31, 2024?
