= $45,000 + $5,400
= $50,400
The journal entry should be
Bad Debt Expense Dr. 50,400
To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Cr. 50,400
(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)
b.
Accounts Receivable 675,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 45,000
Bad Debt Expense 50,400
c.
Accounts Receivable 675,000
Less: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (45,000)
Net realizable value of accounts receivable 630,000
Answer:
a. It will take her 5 years to pay for her wardrobe
b. She should shop for a new card once she is done paying for this one.
c. She should shop for a new card after finishing paying for this card since going further into debt with the current card would be a bad idea. This is due to the fact that an annual interest rate of 16% is very high. The best option would therefor to finish her payments on the credit card, then shop for a new card with a lower annual interest rate.
Explanation:
Use the formula below to determine the number of months it would take Rachel to pay off her debt;
C *{1-(1+r)^(-n×t)}/(r/n)=PV
where;
C=annuity
r=annual interest rate
n=number of compounding periods in a year
t=number of years
PV=present value
In our case;
PV=$10,574
C=$260
r=16%=16/100=0.16
n=12
t=unknown
replacing;
260*{1-(1+0.16/12)^(-12×t)}/(0.16/12)=10,574
1-(1+0.16/12)^(-12×t)={10,574×(0.16/12)}/260
1-{1.013^(-12 t)}=0.542
(1-0.542)=1.013^(-12 t)
ln 0.458=-12 t (ln 1.013)
t=-ln 0.458/12×ln 1.013
t=5
