Answer:

$10,700 should be in the adjusting entry for bad debts.

At the end of the period we, estimate the amount of allowance for Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, that is reported and adjusted in the receivable balance.

In the given situation there is a debit balance of $1,700 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and At the end of the of the period we required to make it a credit balance of $9,000 ( $450,000 x 2% ).

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

$2,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Number of shares purchased = 100 shares

Price of common stock = $25

Given percentage = 50%

Based on the above information, there is no borrowing taken place in a margin account because there is a minimum requirement to maintain $2,000 in equity and when the purchase is made lower than $2,000 so it is important to pay the amount in full and the deposits are important when it is made more than $2,000 in the case when the trade is more than $4,000

Less: cost of goods sold                                       $65,000

Gross profit                                                            $39,000

In that case, we do not use Income tax expense, Operating expenses, Deferred revenues, Non-operating revenues because those will be needed when we will calculate the net income.
