Answer:
Ophelia Inc.
Assuming that the company utilizes the allowance method, Ophelia should record a(n):
decrease in Accounts Receivable
Explanation:
This means that the accounts receivable will be credited while the allowance for doubtful accounts is debited to record the decreased value. The Patton Inc. account may not be recovered fully. However, the amount of the decrease depends on the amount that can be recovered from Patton. Thereupon, the accounts receivable will first be credited with the cash recovered with the corresponding debit entry in the Cash account.
Answer: 7.24%
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that:
3 years treasury securities have an interest rate = 1.92%
10 years treasury security has an interest rate = 5.62%
Let the 7 year treasury security interest in 3 years be represented by z.
Based on the expectation theory
( 1+1.92%)^3 × (1 + z%)^7 = (1 + 5.62%)^10
(1+0.0192)^3 × (1 + z%)^7 = (1 + 0.0562)^10
(1.0192)^3 (1 + z%)^7 = (1.0562)^10
1.05871(1 + z%)^7 = 1.72767
Divide both side by 1.05871
(1 + z%)^7 = 1.72767/1.05871
(1 + z%)^7= 1.6319
1 + z% = 1.6319^1/7
1 + z% = 1.6319^0.1429
1 + z% = 1.0724
z% = 1.0724 - 1
z% = 0.0724
We then convert the decimal to percentage
z = 7.24%
The market believes that 7-year Treasury securities will be yielding 7.24% in 3 years .
Answer:
(a) What was the total of accounts written off during the first 11 months?
bad debts written for the first 11 months = allowance for bad debt accounts January 1 balance + bad debt expense - allowance for bad debt accounts November 30 balance = $13,085 + $21,937 - $9,919 = $25,103
(b) As the result of a comprehensive analysis, it is determined that the December 31, 2010, balance of the Allowance for Bad Debts account should be $9,450. Show the adjustment required in the journal entry format.Allowance for bad debt Debit $Bad debt expenses Credit $
to determine the amount of bad debt expense that must be adjusted, we must subtract the estimated balance in December 31 from the balance in November 30 = $9,919 - $9,450 = $469. Since the November 30 amount is larger, it means that we over estimated our bad debt expense and it must be reduced:
Dr Allowance for doubtful accounts 469
Cr Accounts receivable 469
Answer:
Debit Inventory $40,600
Credit Cash account $40,600
Being entries to recognize the cost of inventory
Explanation:
The initial recognition of inventory is to be done including all the cost incurred in bring inventory to the place of use or storage. These includes freight and the cost of the item. When inventory is purchased on account, entries required are Debit Inventory, credit account payable. Where cash is paid, the debit is same but the credit entry is posted to the cash account.
Hence total cost incurred (which is the cost of inventory)
= $40,000 + $600
= $40,600
