faust18 [17]

Answer:

C. $40,000

Explanation:

For computing the amount of the gain recognized, first we have to calculate the gain recognized based on the adjusted basis

= Cash received + fair market value of the stock - adjusted cash basis

= $40,000 + $60,000 - $35,000

= $100,000 -$35,000

= $65,000

But the cash is received for $40,000. So, only $40,000 of gain would be recognized. As in the case of transfer, if the amount is received other than the stock so the amount which is received is recognized as a gain i.e $40,000

Assuming 6% of outstanding accounts receivable at the end of the current year are estimated to be uncollectible that would be,

= 6% * 98,700

= $5,922

The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts acts as a buffer for the business when bad debts are incurred.

Bad debts are taken from the Allowance as the Allowance has already been removed from the Receivables.

In cases where Bad debts exceed the buffer in the Allowance for Doubtful Debt Account we take everything in it and the remaining bad debt amount is debited to Bad Debt expense.

That would be,

= 5,922 - 1,111

= $4,811

$4,811 is the amount that should be debited to Bad Debts Expense.
