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.
Answer:
$118,000
Explanation:
We know the purchase price of land = $100,000
Also any kind of brokerage or commission is added to such cost as it is part of acquisition and one time expense, thus capital in nature.
Thus, $8,000 paid as brokerage will be added.
Also the one time expense in the capital nature being the demolishing expense will be added to cost.
Thus, net cost of land = $100,000 + $8,000 + $10,000 = $118,000
Some of the salvage sold results in an income for the company, and that shall form part of income statement, and has nothing to do with cost of land.
Thus, net historical cost = $118,000
If the question is trying to ask whether it is true or false, the answer is false. It is because whatever you chose or the decisions you make, there is always a cause, or things affecting your decision in which you will be held accountable for such as the statement above implies, you are accountable of resources and such when you choose.
