<span>Because it is almost impossible to suss out whether a person will be able to learn a new job or be able to fit in with the rest of the work crew just by interviewing and reviewing resumes. And more specifically, in a unionized situation, if probation did not exist it could be virtually impossible and extremely time consuming to justify terminating employment once someone is hired on.</span>

n 2018, Warehouse 13 had net credit sales of $750,000. On January 1, 2018, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a credit balance
Finger [1]

Answer:

$28,000

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 Past experience indicates that the allowance should be 10% of the balance in receivables

Allowance = 10% * $150,000

= $15,000

Since during 2018, $29,000 of uncollectible accounts receivable were written off

Balance in allowance account before adjustment

= $29,000 - $16,000

= $13,000 (Debit)

Required adjustment for Doubtful Accounts at December 31, 2018

= $13,000 + $15,000

= $28,000

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is C)Opening the mail and recording entries in the sales journal.

Explanation:

It is the correct answer because both activities can be done sitting on the desk, using the same computer. All the other answers refer to activity pairs that would require physical activity, and this would reduce efficiency. For example, making journal records and delivering inventory are extremely disjointed activities, it is like being an accountant and a delivery person at the same job.

Answer:

$165,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of over- or underapplied overhead is shown below:

The Predetermined overhead rate is

= Predetermined overhead ÷ direct labor cost

= ($300,000 ÷ $200,000)

= 150% of direct labour cost

Now  

overhead applied is

= (150% × $280,000)

= $420,000

And,  

Actual overhead=$255,000

So,  

overhead overapplied is

= $420,000 - $255,000

= $165,000
