Answer:

d. $19,500 and $25,000

Explanation:

Provided balance of Accounts Receivables at year end = $550,000

Allowance for Doubtful Debts Account = $5,500

Sales for the year = $2,500,000

Now, provided un-collectible accounts receivables = $25,000

Thus year end balance of allowance for doubtful debts shall be $25,000

Therefore, entry shall be of amount = $25,000 - $5,500 = $19,500

after that balance at year end of allowance for doubtful debts = $5,500 + $19,500 = $25,000

Suppose there are only two goods in the world, x and y. Assume the consumer has spent all their money so they are on their budge
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Consumption of good y should decrease

The Marginal Utility should also decrease

Explanation:

Marginal utility of a good is the added satisfaction that a consumer gets from consuming additional units of the good.

Given the two goods x and y, and MUx/Px > MUy/Py.

The Marginal Utility Price Ratio indicates the Utility/Satisfaction derived from the last Dollars spent.

To allocate a budget efficiently, the marginal utility for each item should be equal.

A good has a higher marginal utility-price ratio is the good that the consumer should consume more of.

If the Marginal Utility-Price ratio of good x is greater than that of good y, your consumption of good y should decrease and therefore, the MUy will also decrease.

Interdepartment Services: Step Method
Stells [14]

Answer:

O'Brian's Department Stores

a) Determination of the percentage of total personnel department services that was provided to the Payroll department

Since allocation of the personnel department services is based on the number of employees, we can use this to calculate the percentage.  The personnel employees are not included in this calculation.

= 4/32 x 100 = 12.5%

b) Percentage of total payroll department services provided to the personnel department.  Since the basis is the gross payroll, we can use this to calculate the percentage.  The gross payroll of the Payroll department is not included in the calculation.

= $6,000/$42,100 x 100 = 14.3%

c)                          Personnel  Payroll  House-     Clothing   Furniture    Total

                                                         Ware

Direct department

  cost               $ 7,800  $ 3,200    $ 12,200   $ 20,000  $ 16,750  $59,950

Number of

  employees       5              4                8               16             4             37

Gross payroll $ 6,000  $ 3,300    $ 10,600     $ 17,400    $ 8,100   $45,400

Total cost      $13,800   $6,500    $22,800     $37,400  $24,850  $105,350

Allocation of service departments costs, using the step method:

Personnel      -13,800      1,725          3,450         6,900       1,725       13,800

Payroll              0           -8,225           2,415         3,965        1,845       8,225

Total allocated 0               0          $28,665    $48,265   $28,420 $105,350

Explanation:

a) Data:

                        Personnel  Payroll  House-     Clothing   Furniture    Total

                                                         Ware

Direct department

  cost               $ 7,800  $ 3,200    $ 12,200   $ 20,000  $ 16,750  $59,950

Number of

  employees       5              4                8               16             4             37

Gross payroll $ 6,000  $ 3,300    $ 10,600     $ 17,400    $ 8,100   $45,400

b) Cost allocation & Calculations:

Personnel (based on the number of employees)

Rate = $13,800/32 = $431.25 per employee

Payroll (based on gross payroll)

Rate = Payroll cost = Payroll cost divided by the total gross payroll in the other departments, excluding personnel and payroll departments

= $8,225/$36,100 = $0.2278 per gross payroll

c) Allocation of service departments' costs is a method of apportioning costs incurred by service departments to the production departments in order to include all the costs in the product costs.  Three methods exist for allocating service departments' costs to the production departments.  The first, which is the simplest, is the direct method.  With this method, the costs of service departments are allocated directly to each production department based on the consumption of the service department's services.  They are not allocated to other service departments.

The second method is the step method.  Here, the costs of one service department with the highest cost are allocated to all other departments first, including production and other service departments following a step.  The costs of the next service department with the highest costs are allocated to the remaining departments.  This step is continued until all the service departments' costs have been allocated.  Once the costs of a service department have been completely allocated, that department would not be allocated any other cost.

The Reciprocal method, which is the last method, is the most accurate and complicated method.  This method first establishes the relationship among the service departments in equation form and uses the established equations to allocate the costs of service departments.  We may not discuss it further than this.

The computation of the net income for the firm is shown below:

Sales               $634,000

Less: costs      -$328,000

Less: depreciation -$73,000

EBIT                   -$233,000

Less: interest      -$38,000

EBT                      195,000

Less: tax(195,000 × 21%) -$40,950

Net income    $154,050

We simply deduct all expenses ,interest and taxes from the sales revenue so that the net income could come and the same is to be considered
