Answer:

  • What amount will Allegheny report as bad debts Expense on its Year 2 income statement?

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 8,250

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 8,250

Explanation:

  • Balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of:

Dr Accounts receivable $ 68,000

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 3,450

 

  • Allegheny write off $6300 of Uncollectible Accounts.  

Dr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 6,300

Cr Accounts receivable $ 6,300

 

  • Allegheny estimates that the ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance should be $5,400  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 8,250

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 8,250

Because the company already has a DEBIT balance ($2,850) in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  

it's necessary to register an entry that COMPENSATE ($8,250) the existing value and reflect the value estimated as bad debts ($5,400 = $8,250-$2,850).  

If the company applies the allowance method, it means that the account Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts must show as balance the % of estimated value.

Bad accounts are those credits granted by the company and there is no possibility of being charged.

"When customers buy products on credits but the company cannot collect the debt, then it's necessary to cancel the unpaid invoice as uncollectible."

One way is to directly cancel bad debts at the time it was decided that the credit is bad, the total amount reported as bad debt expenses negatively affect the income statement and the accounts receivable are reduced by the same amount, less assets .

The other way is to determine a percentage of the total amount of accounts receivable as bad debts, there are many ways to analyze accounts receivable and calculate the value of bad debts.

When the company has the percentage of uncollectible accounts, the required journal entry is Bad Expenses (debit) with Reserve for Bad Accounts (credit)

At the time of cancellation, since the expenses were recognized before, we only use the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Debit)  with accounts receivable (credit), with this we are recognizing the bad credit of the company.

qaws [65]

Answer:

Chuck must be less than $260,000

Explanation:

The economic decision rule is: Do it if that marginal benefit exceeds the marginal cost and Since Chuck was unwilling to purchase the house at $260,000, we can deduce that the marginal benefit of purchasing the house must be less than $260,000 due to the fact that the seller turns down the offer but says she will sell the house for $260,000.

POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRAINLIEST AND 20+ POINTS!!!
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

I think you've already figured this out for yourself, but I thought I'd answer anyway and maybe clarify some things.

Supply is the total amount of a <u>good or service</u> that is available to consumers.

  • Think about it: goods are physical things bought and sold, like apples. Services are actions done for another person, like taxi driving or renting a used car.
  • None of the other answers make sense: a "device" is not a strictly defined term in economics; an "industry" can't be available to consumers, and a "warranty" isn't applicable.

How do you do income statement​
igomit [66]

To prepare an income statement, you will need to generate a trial balance report, calculate your revenue, determine the cost of goods sold, calculate the gross margin, include operating expenses, calculate your income, include income taxes, calculate net income and lastly finalize your income statement with business details and the reporting period.

If you can't find the time to make one from scratch, there are templates that can be used to help.

gross margin :  the amount of money a company retains after incurring the direct costs associated with producing the goods it sells and the services it provides.

net income : net earnings, is calculated as sales minus cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses, operating expenses, depreciation, interest, taxes, and other expenses.
