2. Lereve Company has recorded the following information about the results of its operations for the fourth quarter: Sales reven
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Lereve Company

Segmented Income Statement for the fourth quarter:

                                   Total Company  Western Division  Eastern Division  

Sales revenues           $200,000              $80,000              $120,000

Variable cost of sales     60,000                 30,000                  30,000

Contribution                $140,000               $50,000               $90,000

Fixed costs:

Common                     $100,000               $25,000               $75,000

Traceable                       50,000                  20,000                 30,000    

Net Income (Loss)       ($10,000)                 $5,000              ($15,000)

The results show that the Eastern Division made a net loss of $15,000 and the Western Division raked in a net income of $5,000, which resulted in the company-wide net loss of $10,000.  This loss could be traced to the allocated common fixed costs of the division, because its contribution to fixed costs was substantial and better than the Western Division's.

Explanation:

When the results of the operations of a divisional company like Lereve Company are prepared in segmental form, the performance pictures become clearer.  Management is enabled to focus on the segments or the factors that are generating the loss to the company.  Perhaps, as in this case, the problem may not be with the division, but the allocation of fixed costs to the divisions.  It can still be traced to the company as a whole, since it is generating much more fixed costs than it could afford from its revenue.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

$3,100

Explanation:

Step 1: Draw up the Accounts Receivable Account

Opening Balance  $600          Allowance for Doubtful debt   $200

Sales                       $3,200       Cash Collected                        $3,100

                                                   Closing Balance                       <u>$500</u>

                                <u>$3,800</u>                                                         <u>$3,800  </u>  

To calculate the cash collected from customers

first, add the debit side of the accounts receivable which is a sum of the opening balance and sales= 3,800

Secondly, add the figures in the credit side including allowance for doubtful debt and closing balance= $700

Thirdly, Subtract the lesser side from the greater, $3,800 - $700 = $3,100

$3,100 was cash collected from the customers in 2016
