Bad debt expense is an operating expense. An increase in operating expenses decreases income from operations.

When a receivable is no longer collectible as a result of a customer's inability to pay an outstanding debt due to bankruptcy or other financial issues, a bad debt expense is recorded. Companies that offer credit to their customers record bad debts as an allowance for doubtful accounts, also referred to as a provision for credit losses, on their balance sheet.

The basic idea behind bad debt expense is the same as that behind all accounting principles: it enables businesses to completely and accurately report their financial position. Almost every business will encounter a customer who is unable to pay at some point, and they will need to record a bad debt expense.

Why does Joe's demand curve have a negative slope? Joe only has so much money; when other things get more expensive he must buy
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The answer is: He needs the price of coffee to go down to convince him to buy more.

Explanation:

A demand curve (almost) always has a negative slope. As a product gets more expensive, the amount of people willing to buy that product decreases. So if the product gets cheaper, the more people are willing to purchase it.

The opposite happens with the supply curve, as the price of a product increases, the more companies are willing to sell that product.

Sheridan Company sells merchandise on account for $6400 to Carla Vista Company with credit terms of 2/10, n/30. Block Company re
Aliun [14]

Answer: $4,508

Explanation:

Companies usually give discounts with credit terms to encourage Receivables to pay faster.

In this scenario, credit terms of 2/10, n/30 were offered which means that if Carla Vista Company pays within 10 days they get a discount of 2% but if they don't they should pay the full amount in 30 days.

They paid within the discount period meaning that they qualify for the discount of 2% but they however returned goods worth $1800.

So calculating for that would be,

= (6,400 - 1800) (1 - 0.02)

= $4,508

The amount of the check is $4,508
