Answer:

$25,200

Explanation:

Allowance for doubtful accounts should have a credit balance since it is a contra asset account that reduces the value or accounts receivable. In this case, the account has a debit balance, so the adjusting entry should be:

December 31, adjusting entry allowance for doubtful accounts:

Dr Bad debt expense 31,100

    Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts 31,100

that way the final balance of allowance for doubtful accounts = $31,100 - $5,900 = $25,200

Answer:

$19,600.

Explanation:

The prudence concept of Accounting, also known as Conservatism Principle, requires management to record loss if there is an expectation to incur it. This principle gave birth to the concept of Bad Debts. Companies estimate the amount of Accounts Receivable that will not be collectible by Aging. An expense is recorded in the Statement of Profit or Loss by the calculated amount, whereas a credit entry to match the debit is charged to Allowance for Doubtful Account which is a contra-asset account to Accounts Receivable.

Oriole has estimated that $25,500 (2% of 1.26 million) of receivables will be uncollectible. A debit entry for Bad Debts is recorded in P&L and a credit to it will be charged to Allowance for Doubtful Account. This contra-asset account already has a opening debit balance of $5,900, the balance after adjustment for bad debts will be $19,600 (25,500 - 5,900).

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Joshua statement is correct.

Explanation:

Marginal cost:

Is the cost of producing a new unit.

Average Cost:

\frac{Fixed Cost + Variable Cost}{UnitsProduced} = $Average Cost

\frac{Fixed Cost}{UnitsProduced} + $Variable Cost Per Unit= Average Cost

If the marginal cost of this plant is lower than their other plants, it can decrease his average cost by increasing the amount produced.

This increase in production decrease the impact of the fixed cost in the unit price. At more production the average cost will decrease. Because the variable cost keeps at the same value but the fixed cost per unit decrease.
