Answer:

$2,540

Options are inconsistent with given question

Explanation:

Allowance for uncollectible accounts is a contra asset account and it has credit nature. It needs to be debited to decrease the balance and credited to increase the balance. Balance of this account is adjusted in the account receivable to report the net receivable balance in the balance sheet.

As per given data

Beginning allowance for uncollectible accounts balance = $3,700

Write off is the adjustment mad in this account and it needs to be debited in this account, this transaction will reduce the balance.

Adjusted Balance = $3,700 - 2,700 = $1,000

Credit sales = $118,000

Estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts balance = $118,000 x 3% = $3,540

As allowance for uncollectible accounts has already have balance of $1,000, Bad debt expense for the year is $2,540 ($3,540 - $1,000).

At the beginning of 2017, Aristotle Company acquired a mine for $970,000. Of this amount, $100,000 was ascribed to the land valu
viktelen [127]

Answer: $225,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Company acquired a mine = $970,000 of this amount,

Land value = $100,000 and remaining  portion to the minerals in the mine

Ore appear to be in the mine = 12,000,000 units

Aristotle incurred development costs = $170,000

fair value of its obligation = $40,000

ore were extracted = 2,500,000 units

Units sold = 2,100,000

Depletion\ per\ unit = \frac{Mine\ acquiring\ cost + Development\ cost + Fair\ value\ of\ land - land\ value}{Ore\ appear\ to\ be\ in\ the\ mine}

                                       =\frac{970,000 + 170,000 + 40,000 - 100,000}{12,000,000}

                                       = $0.09 depletion per unit

The total amount of depletion for 2017 =  depletion per unit × ore were extracted

                                                                 = $0.09 × 2,500,000

                                                                 = $225,000

Using a computerized Inventory Management System, a Paint Supply Store franchise continuously monitors the inventory of all the
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

A. $348.29

Explanation:

Given that:

The Paint Supply Store franchise sells an average of 30 gallons of Red Paint every week (for 52 weeks per year)

i.e weekly demand = 30 gallons

Since 30 gallons is demanded weekly

Then annual demand for a year that contains 52 weeks = 30 × 52

= 1560

Order quantity = 70 gallons

Thus; number of orders = annual demand for a year / order quantity

number of orders = 1560 /70

number of orders = 22.2857

Price per gallon = $2.00

Time to receive order = 1.25 weeks

Administrative cost Ordering paint (i.e ordering cost per order) = $15

The total Ordering cost per order = number of orders × ordering cost per order

The total Ordering cost per order =  22.2857 × 15

The total Ordering cost per order =  $334.2855

Holding cost = 20% of the purchase price per gallon per year

Holding cost = 20/100 × $2

Holding cost =  0.2 × $2

Holding cost = $0.4 per unit per year

∴

The Inventory Holding cost = ( order quantity /2 ) × holding cost

The Inventory Holding cost =  (70/2) × 0.4

The Inventory Holding cost = 35  × 0.4

The Inventory Holding cost = $14

Finally, Total Annual Inventory Cost for the company's current policy is :

Total Annual Inventory Cost  = Total Ordering cost per order + Inventory Holding cost

Total Annual Inventory Cost  =  $334.2855 + $14

Total Annual Inventory Cost = $348.2855

Total Annual Inventory Cost ≅ $348.29
