Each 2 company has been in operation for about 10 years. Both companies received an unqualified audit opinion (clean) on the financial statements. Both companies estimate bad debts based on aging analysis, but company [B] has estimated slightly higher uncollectible rates than [A]. Neither company issued stock in the current year. Assume the end-of-year total assets and net equipment balances approximate the year’s average and all sales are on account. Company (A) wants to borrow $75,000 cash and [B] is asking for $30,000. The loans will be for a two- year period.
