what should be the current balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The balance sheet's total receivables are netted against an allowance for doubtful accounts to show only the amounts anticipated to be paid.

The balance sheet's total receivables are netted against an allowance for doubtful accounts to show only the amounts anticipated to be paid. Estimated by the provision for doubtful accounts is the proportion of receivables that are anticipated to be uncollectible. However, the allowance estimate may be significantly off from how customers really pay.

Regardless of corporate policies and practices for credit collections, a transaction involving credit always has the risk of not being paid. A allowance corporation must therefore recognize this risk by creating a provision for doubtful accounts and offsetting bad debt expenditure. This complies with the matching principle of accounting by guaranteeing that costs associated with the sale are recorded during the same accounting period during which revenue is collected. Companies can estimate the true worth of their account receivables with greater accuracy thanks to the provision for dubious accounts.

Using the data set below, what would be the forecast for period 5 using the exponential smoothing method? Assume the forecast fo
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The answer is C: 14300

Note: The actual answer is 14296, <em>and </em>the closest to that was option C.

Explanation:

Formula to calculate forecast using Exponential smoothing:

  •    F_{t} = F_{t-1} + \alpha ( A_{t-1} - F_{t-1} )

Where,

  • F_{t} = New Forecast
  • F_{t-1} = Previous period's forecast.
  • \alpha = Smoothing Constant
  • A_{t-1} = Previous period's Actual Demand.
  1. Calculating the forecast for period 5:

Data:

  • F_{5} = ?
  • F_{t-1} = 14000
  • \alpha = 0.4
  • A_{t-1} = 14750

Putting <em>values in the formula:</em>

F_{5} = 14000 + 0.4(14750-14000)

F_{5} = 14000 + 0.4 (740)

F_{5} = 14000 + 296

F_{5} = 14296

Waterway industries, has 4700 shares of 5%, $50 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 100000 shares of $1 par value common s
e-lub [12.9K]

Since the preferred stocks are cumulative in nature, the dividend amount not paid in the current year will be accumulated and paid in the next year.

Preferred dividend to be paid in 2017 = Value of preferred stock x Dividend rate

= (4700 x $50) x 5%

= 11750

Dividend to be paid in 2018 = same as 2017 as no new preferred stock issued

= 11750

Total dividend to be paid in 2018 = Dividend to be paid in 2018 + Dividend to be paid in 2017 – Dividend paid in 2017

= 11750 +11750 -7900

= $15600

The following information pertains to Rik Co.'s two employees: Name Weekly salary Number of weeks worked in 2005 Vacation rights
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer: $1600

Explanation:

From the information given, it can be noted that while Ryan is vested, on the other hand, Todd isn't vested.

Therefore, since the vacation is for two weeks, the amount of vacation expense and liability should be reported will be for Ryan alone and this will be:

= $800 × 2

= $1600

In this case, service has already been rendered ans there's accumulated rights, therefore a vacation expense and liability of $1600 should be reported.
