Answer:

c. $210

Explanation:

When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.  

To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.

Given that the bad debts written off were $180 and the beginning balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts was $220, the amount in the allowance for doubtful accounts after the write off

= $220 - $180

= $40

Since estimate of uncollectible receivables resulting from the aging analysis equals $250, additional amount to be provided for

= $250 - $40

= $210

Entries required are

Debit Bad debt expense  $210

Credit Allowance for doubtful debt  $210

Answer:

a. $180

Explanation:

Bad debt expenses is generally classified as Administrative expense and hence it is included in the expense section of the income statement before the calculation of the Net Income.

From the question it is evident that the write offs during the period were $180 and hence the expense recorded in the Income statement as bad debt expense would be $180 because they are unrecoverable for the current period.

Hope this helps.

Thanks buddy.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

understate the impact of a tax for substitutes and overstate the impact for complements.

Explanation:

Partial equillibrum analysis is consideration of only a part of the market to attain equillibrum. It is based on data that has restricted range. For example when the price of one good changes while others are held constant. This does not consider real life scenario that multiple prices are changing.

In this type of analysis there is less emphasis on tax on subsititutes and more for complements. This is because a single product is being considered and compliments share similar demand pattern so they are considered more.

Skysong Industries acquired two copyrights during 2020. One copyright related to a textbook that was developed internally at a c
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The question is asking fro the Reporting of the two copyrights in Skysong's balance sheet as at December 31,2020

Assumption: The first copyright was developed internally while the second copyright was purchased from the University Press

<u>Based on this assumption, therefore, </u>

For Copyright one: Since it was developed internally, it will not reflect in the balance sheet, it will not be recognized as an asset because it does not have any separate legal rights different from the organisation that developed it. As such it will be recorded in the Income statement as an expense

For Copyright two: This is an intangible asset with an indefinite number of useful life. Hence, $32,000 will be reported in the balance sheet as an intangible asset but the cost will only be tested for impairment and not amortized.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The depreciation expense for 2020 is $215,100

Explanation:

Given

Claxton Company purchased a van on January​ 1, 2018, for​ $820,000.

Useful life = 5 years

Residual value = $103,000

Annual depreciation = ($820,000- $103,000)/5

                                 = $717,000/5

                                = $143,400

At the beginning of​ 2020, the asset would have been depreciated for 2 years (2018 and 2019)

Net book value = $820,000 - 2($143,400)

                          = $533,200

Since the residual value remains the same after a revision of the estimated useful life from 5 years to 4 years

The asset would only have 2 years left for depreciation.

Annual depreciation = ($533,200 - $103,000)/2

                                  = $430,200/2

                                  = $215,100
