Answer:

Debit Bad Debt expense $ 15,375

Credit Allowance fro doubtful accounts $ 15,375

Explanation:

For the purpose of recording of bad debts expense on objective basis (i.e. using receivables aging), the closing balance amount of uncollectible allowance is to be <u>maintained</u> at certain amounts and the entry in the books of accounts is passed with the differential of the amounts.

In the given question, the company needs to have a closing balance of allowance for doubtful accounts against the receivables amounting to $ 15,750. However, the same account already shows a balance of $ 375. Therefore, an entry shall be passed with the difference of the above amounts i.e. $ 15,750 - $ 375 = $ 15,375

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

  • Apply capital gains tax on the gains or losses
  • capital gain = $310000-$260000 =$50000

choli [55]
First of all, let us calculate the annual gains: they are 80000-60000=20000$. In three years, the profit will be 3*20000=60000$. Hence, the break-even investment would be 60000$. For a year after that, the profit will be 20000$; hence the return on investment would be 20000/60000=33,33% per year. After 6 years, the investment would have yielded a 100% profit (return on investment).
