Answer:

The detailed answer is given below;

Explanation:

The company has received an offer of $96,000 for equipment. It means that if the equipment is sold in market, it will fetch a revenue of $96,000.

Whereas the company is thinking for expansion option, in such case the cost of equipment for that project will $96,000 because as per definition of opportunity cost, this system if not used in expansion; can readily be sold out in market for $96,000.

Therefore the relevant cost for the project shall be $96,000 because this is the amount that Webster and Moore can loose if not sold in the market.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer: Option (d)

Explanation:

Under this case the write off will be as follow:

                                                                      Debit         Credit

Allowance for doubtful accounts                25,200  

Accounts receivables                                                     25,200

Here, in this case the Allowance for the doubtful accounts and Accounts receivables are further decreased as the outcome of the transaction made. Thus, there will be no further effect on working capital. Therefore the $30,000 that is bad debt would then be stated as the credit to allowance account. This will then decrease the working capital by $30,000.
