Answer:

Allegheny will report $5,800 as Uncollectible Accounts Expense on its Year 2 income statement.

Explanation:

Bad debt Expense will be calculated using the percentage of debt loss. The expense will be calculated using the account receivable balance.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is estimated as $4,000 for year 2

Before Adjustment year 2

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Balance = $2,400 credit - $4,200 = $1,800 debit

Account receivable balance = $54,000 - $4,200 = $49,800

As Allowance for Doubtful Accounts already have debit balance of $1,800, we need to adjust the remainder to make the closing balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $4,000 at the year end.

Adjustment Value = $4,000 + $1,800 = $5,800

Answer:

<u><em>Uncollectible Accounts Expense for year 2:</em></u> 5,800

Explanation:

                         Allowance

                    <u>DEBIT         CREDIT</u>

BEG                                    2,400

Write-offf       4,200

Adjusmtent <u>                       </u><u>XXX </u><u>    </u>

Ending                              4,000

The aging method determined the ending balance we must solve for the adjustment made against uncollectible account expense:

beginning - write-off + adjustment = ending

2,400 - 4,200 + X = 4,000

X = 4,000 + 4,200 - 2,400 = 5,800

Answer:

Horizon value = $883

so correct option is e. $883

Explanation:

given data

FCF is expected = $50 million

time = 5 year

CF growth rate = 6% = 0.06

average cost of capital = 12% = 0.12

to find out

the horizon value

solution

we know that FCF at year 6 is here

FCF at year 6  = principal ( 1 + rate )

FCF at year 6 = 50 × (1 + 6%)

FCF at year 6  = 53 million

and

Horizon value will be here

Horizon value =  \frac{FCF at year 6}{required rate- growth rate}  

Horizon value =  \frac{53}{0.12-0.06}

Horizon value = 883.33

Horizon value = $883

so correct option is e. $883

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

1 and a half months worth of depreciation

Explanation:

The advantage of starting to depreciate an asset purchased on December is that next year you will be able to depreciate it for a full year under MACRS.  Generally, when you purchase an asset, you have to use the half year convention and your depreciation expense for the first year will be low compared to the second year. But if you start depreciating your asset in the current year, even if you purchased it on December and the depreciation expense is not that significant, the next year you will be able to depreciate it at the second year rate.

aleksley [76]

Answer:

a. There is no entry required to record the accounting change

b. The journal entry to record depreciation for 2021 would be as follows:

                                   

                                         Debit      Credit

Depreciation Expense $3,000

    Accumulated Depreciation $3,000

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Sum of year digits=5(5+1)/2

Sum of year digits=(5*6)/2

Sum of year digits=15

Depreciation for year 2019=$30,000*5/15

Depreciation for year 2019=$10,000

Depreciation for year 2020=$30,000*4/15

Depreciation for year 2020=$8,000

Therefore, book value as on january 1, 2021=$30,000-$10,000-$8,000

book value as on january 1, 2021=$12,000

Revised useful life=6 years-2 years=4 years

Therefore, Revised depreciation for 2021=$12,000/4

Revised depreciation for 2021=$3,000

a. There is no entry required to record the accounting change

b. The journal entry to record depreciation for 2021 would be as follows:

                                   

                                         Debit      Credit

Depreciation Expense $3,000

    Accumulated Depreciation $3,000
