Answer:

Assets =Liabilities +  Stockholders Equity

-8000=                                           - 8000

Explanation:

Allowance for Doubtful  Debts $10,000

Bad debt expense $8,000

Assets =Liabilities +  Stockholders Equity

-8000=                                           - 8000

The write off does not affect the realizable value of accounts receivable. Neither total assets nor net income is affected by the write off a specific account.Instead both assets and net income are affected in the period when bad debts expense is predicted and recorded with an adjusting entry.

Answer: Please see the analysis below

Explanation: The following are the financial statement effects

                                  Assets Liabilities Stockholders Equity Income Expense

Write-off of $10,000     -           -                   Nil                           Nil         Nil

Bad debt of $8,000     -           +                   -                                -             +

  • Write-off of customer balances of $10,000 would lead to reduction in assets and also reduction in liabilities (since the provision for doubtful accounts reports to liabilities but mapped to the accounts receivable to show the net amount). Here, we have assumed that there is an existing allowance for doubtful accounts that has $10,000 buffer or more. If the write-off was not initially provided for, it would hit expense by debiting bad debt expense and crediting the accounts receivable. <em>Its effects are therefore decrease in asset, decrease in liabilities.</em>
  • Bad debt expense of $8,000 affects the expense and the liabilities/assets. Journal entries to record the bad debt expense is Debit Bad debt expense $8,000; Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $8,000. So, it affects the expense, liabilities and ultimately the assets (allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra to the accounts receivable). <em>Its effects are increase in expense, increase in liabilities, decrease in stockholders equity, decrease in income and decrease in assets</em>

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The best estimate of the company’s cost of equity is 12%

Explanation:

Estimate of the company’s cost of equity = (Required Return as per Capital Asset Pricing Model + Cost of Equity) / 2

Required Return as per Capital Asset Pricing Model = Risk Free rate + Market Risk Premium * Beta

= 4.9 % + ( 6% * 1.2)

= 0.049 + 0.06 * 1.2

= 0.049 + 0.072

= 0.1210

= 12.10%

Cost of Equity = (Expected Dividend/Price) + Growth Rate

= [( $ 1.30 * 1.08) / $ 36] + 8%

= 0.039 + 0.08

= 0.1190

= 11.90%

The best estimate of the company’s cost of equity = (12.10 % + 11.90 % )/ 2

=  24% / 2

= 12%

Hence, the best estimate of the company’s cost of equity is 12%

Ugo [173]

Answer:

$171 Favorable  

Explanation:

Actual Variable Overhead Rate = Actual variable overhead cost / Actual direct labor-hours used

Actual Variable Overhead Rate = $9,531 / 2,310

Actual Variable Overhead Rate = $4.125974

Variable overhead rate variance = (Standard rate - Actual rate) * Actual Direct labor hours

Variable overhead rate variance = ($4.20 - $4.125974) * 2310

Variable overhead rate variance = $0.074026 * 2310

Variable overhead rate variance = $171 Favorable
