Answer:
CLOSING ENTRIES
31 JAN Debit Inventory write down $1840 Credit inventory
Debit provision for doubtful debts adjustment $1775 Credit Provision for bad debts $1775
Debit interest expense $215 Credit Interest payable $215
Debit Taxation expense $13,600 Credit Tax payable $13600
Explanation:
closing inventory= 430+1150+1250+(1350-165)-3900= 115*116 = 13340
vs NRV =115*100 = 11500
write down = 13340-11500=1840
Provision for doubtful debts =
5300*0.35= 1855
remaining accounts receivables = $624000+43000= 667000-573000 =94000*3%= 2820
provision = 2820+1855 =4675
Interest 43000*6%*1/12=215

Answer:
2.86 Q + 2,170 = overhead cost
Explanation:
We subtract one activity level from another, the result is telling us that 1,900 units generate 5,434 additional cost
That is variable cost we divide and get the unit variable cost
cost 5434 / Unis 1900 = variable cost 2.86
Next we calcualte the fixed cost on any of both
Total Cost 14182
Variable -12012 (4,200 x 2.86)
Fixed Cost 2170
Total Cost 8748
Variable 6578 ( 2,300 x 2.86)
Fixed Cost 2170
the cost equation would be:
2.86 Q + 2,170 = overhead cost
