Answer:C. cash flow from operations may increase

Explanation:

A factoring system is one in which a firm sell his right to receive payments on it's receivable to a firm referred to as the factor as a discount in which the amount of discount represents the factor fees for taking up the risk.

The factor may be with or without recourse to the firm selling the receivable.

Gonzalez Company has been in business for several years. At the end of the current year, the ledger shows:
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Debit : Bad Debts = $16,370

Credit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $16,370

Explanation:

The question states that bad debts are expected to be 5% of the accounts receivables. This means that it is: $327,400 x 5% = $16,370.

An account for allowance for doubtful debts is a contra account created, predicting that certain debtors will not be able to pay for the goods and services they purchased. The 5% may be based on historical experiences. Doubtful debts aren’t officially uncollectible, it is simply a prediction, but bad debts are, where you have officially written off a certain accounts receivable as uncollectible.

An allowance for doubtful debts is recorded in the balance sheet, directly under accounts receivables. Bad debts are recorded as an expense in the income statement.

The initial entry for allowance for doubtful debts is incorrect, hence it would have to be corrected before the new amount can be recorded. Correction:

Debit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $7900

Credit : Bad debts = $7900

The accounts will be cancelled off and the new entry can be recorded...

Debit : Bad Debts = $16,370

Credit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $16,370

When the amount is officially declared uncollectible, the allowance for doubtful debts account will be debited and the accounts receivables account will be credited.

Minchanka [31]

Answer: c. A bilateral contract

Explanation:

In a bilateral contract, the parties involved promise to both perform duties to the other which will make them both an obligor and an obligee.

An obligor is one who owes a duty to another and the obligee is one who a duty is owed to.

Pauline Found​ Manufacturing, Inc., is moving to kanbans to support its telephone​ switching-board assembly lines. Determine the
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Kanban container size = 73

Number of kanbans needed = 5

Explanation:

Kanban container size (Q):

Q = SQRT [(2 x D x S) / H x (1 - d/p)]

where,

D = Annual demand  

S = Setup cost

H = Holding cost

d = Daily usage

p = Daily production

Putting the given values in the above formula,

CONTAINER SIZE = SQRT ((2 * ANNUAL DEMAND * SETUP COST) / (HOLDING COST * (1 - (DAILY USAGE / DAILY PRODUCTION))))

Q = SQRT [(2 x 4,000 x $30) / $125 x (1 - 16/25)]

Kanbans container size = 73 units  (Rounding off to the nearest whole number)

NUMBER OF KANBANS = DEMAND DURING LEAD TIME + SAFETY STOCK / SIZE OF CONTAINER

K = ((16 * 16) + (4 * 25) / 73 = 5

Explanation:

  • Feb. 1         Purchase    110 units     $46 per unit
  • March 14    Purchase    190 units    $48 per unit
  • May 1         Purchase     135 units   $ 50 per unit

312 units were sold at $64 per unit, tax rate is 30%

Using FIFO, what is the company's gross profit? We first calculate COGS

Cost of goods sold - 312 units:

  • 110 units at $46 per unit = $5,060
  • 190 units at $48 per unit = $9,120
  • 60 units at $50 per unit = $3,000

Total COGS = $17,180

<u>Income statement for Hogan Industries 2017</u>

Total revenue         $19,968

<u>COGS                     ($17,180)     </u>

Gross profit             $2,788

<u>Taxes 30%             ($836.40)   </u>  

Net profit                $1,951.60
