Some oil companies drill for their oil crude oil because they can afford it and a certain stage it adds more value to their business. Furthermore, it's a way of controlling a larger segment of the industry and being less dependent of the uncertainties linked with the supply segment. Other companies which don't drill on their own can't generally afford it. Or it may be that they deem it better for their business to only focus on distribution.

Net credit sales for the year are $750,000. The end of year accounts receivable balance is $160,000. The allowance for doubtful
alexandr402 [8]

Answer: $3000

Explanation: Allowance for doubtful accounts is the contra account to accounts receiveable when all the bad debts need to be accounted for. The bad debts reduces the accounts receivable line but all bad debts are actually deducted from the allowance for doubtful accounts.

The allowance for doubtful accounts for that year is calculated as 5% of the accounts receivable balance. This amounts to $8000 (160000 x 5%) before bad debts have been accounted for. Allowance for doubtful accounts moves in the opposite direction as accounts receivable because it is a contra account to this line item. At the end of the year before year end closing entries are done, and after the bad debts have been accounted for, the balance on the allowance for doubtful accounts is $5000.

This means that bad debts for that year is:

8000 (balance before bad debts have been accounted for)

- 5000 (balance after bad debts have been accounted for)

= $3000.

Answer:

The cash outflow decreases the cash balance whereas cash inflow increases the cash balance. So the buying would be shown in a negative sign while the selling is shown in the positive sign

Hence, the correct option is C.
