Answer: Please see the required journals below:
December 31:
Debit Bad debt expense $6,034
Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $6,034
February 1:
Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts $431
Credit Accounts receivables $431
June 5:
Debit Cash $431
Credit Bad debt recovery (income statement) $431
Explanation: The company estimates its bad debt expense as percentage of sales. In this case 0.7% of its annual sales of $862,000 was deemed as uncollectible, that is, 0.7% x $862,000 = $6,034. The required journals to recognize this bad debt expense is provided above. However, since there was an existing provision, which resides in the allowance account, a write-off would definitely hit that account in order to extinguish the accounts receivable portion. Upon recovery of the write-off, we cannot reinstate the receivable since it was already extinguished but we need to recognize the recovery as a gain.

Answer:
The EPS is approximately:
it can be any of them:
- if preferred dividends = $4,800,000, then EPS = $0.40 (option A)
- if preferred dividends = $720,000, then EPS = $1.76 (option B)
- if preferred dividends = $0, then EPS = $2 (option D)
EPS = (net income - preferred dividends) / outstanding shares = ($6,000,000 - preferred dividends) / 3,000,000 shares
The Price/Earnings ratio is approximately:
- if EPS = $0.40, then PE ratio = 12.5 (option D)
- if EPS = $1.76, then PE ratio = 2.84 (option C)
- if EPS = $2, then PE ratio = 2.5 (option B)
Price/earnings (PE) ratio = share price / EPS = $5 / EPS
EPS cannot be $1.80, since PE ratio = 2.78 and that is not an option.
Some companies have a higher share price for the same level of earnings. Why?
Some stocks like Amazon have a very low EPS, form any years its EPS was very low bu its stock price kept rising. The stock price is based mostly on potential future earnings, not current earnings. A company that is being liquidated might have a high EPS, but a very low stock price since it will stop operating soon.
