article: A new ball will swing naturally in a conventional direction, but at about this age, wear on ball changes its aerodynamics. It begins to swing in opposite direction of seam, towards the shine. Reverse swinging works best when the smooth side of the ball is very smooth, the rough side is very rough, and the seam is prominent. Continually polish the smooth side of the ball during play. Keep in mind, however, that scratching the rough side constitutes tampering, and is illegal. Grip it with your middle and index fingers on either side of the seam, with the ball resting on your thumb and third finger. The rough side should face the direction of the swing. This means the shiny side will now be facing away from the batsman. The difference between a conventional swing and a reverse swing is that in the former, the ball swings in the direction of the seam, while in the latter it swings in the opposite direction. To bowl an inswing, release the ball with the seam pointed at about a 20 degree angle towards the slip fielders. The last point of contact with the ball should be your middle finger. To bowl an outswing, release the ball with the seam pointed at about a 20 degree angle towards fine leg.The last point of contact with the ball should be your index finger. Bowl hard. The faster you are able to bowl, the more effectively you will be able to achieve a reverse swing. The speed necessary also depends on the state of the ball; the rougher the rough side of the ball is, the less speed you will need.

article:
This will give you the asset account that you need for this calculation. Remember to calculate this value end of an accounting period. Accounts receivable reflects all current outstanding accounts (that haven't yet been paid by customers). If you did any risk categorization in your calculation of the percentage allowance for doubtful accounts, be sure to make a note of which risk level or risk category each accounts falls into. This will help you calculate the percentage allowance for doubtful debts you need to use. Multiply your decided allowance for doubtful accounts percentage by the current value for accounts receivable to get your allowance for doubtful accounts. This number should represent the monetary value of accounts that you expect will not be paid. This should be done at the end of an accounting period. If you are using any form of risk categorization, remember to adjust the additional revenue doubtful account percentage based on which customer or risk category it is coming from. Essentially, you need to be able to multiply the revenue from each customer category by the risk percentage of that category, individually. This may require separating the current value for accounts receivable into categories or even into individual accounts. After separating, simply multiply each account or category by the associated allowance for doubtful accounts percentage and then add then together. This will give you a total value for allowance for doubtful accounts. For example, imagine that your accounts receivable total $100,000. Of this, $30,000 come from high-risk customers, $20,000 from medium-risk, and $50,000 from low-risk, with allowance for doubtful debt percentages of 5%, 2%, and 1%, respectively. Your total allowance for doubtful debts would be ($30,000*0.05) + ($20,000*0.02) + ($50,000*0.01), or $2,400. This will give you your value for net realizable receivables. This is your total amount of receivables that you expect to actually collect. Continuing with the previous example, you would subtract the allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,400 from the total accounts receivable of $100,000 to get your net accounts receivable, which would be $97,600. Remember to record allowance for doubtful debts in accordance with the matching principle. Even though this customer may very well pay in full, record the expense to match it with its corresponding revenue. Technically, this "subtraction" is actually an addition of a current asset account, accounts receivable, and a contra-asset account, allowance for doubtful accounts. The contra-asset account is a negative value so it reduces the asset account when added. Unless you are a publicly-held company though, there is no need to strictly follow this organization. The important thing is that the subtraction is made. In many case, net accounts receivable is expressed as a percentage instead of as a value. This is done by simply subtracting the percentage allowance for doubtful accounts from 100%. In this case, the percentage represents the chance that a company is able to collect money from its customers. This can serve as a measure of the health of the company. For example, if the forecasted percentage allowance for doubtful accounts is 3%, the net accounts receivable expressed as a percentage would be 100% - 3%= 97%. This means that 97% of customers will end up paying the company for its services or products. For different risk levels, you would have to take a weighted average of the percentage allowance for doubtful accounts and use that as your overall percentage. You would then subtract this percentage from 100%, as before, to find net accounts receivable. See how to calculate weighted average for more.
