Answer:

<em>Incomplete question is "2. What journal entry should Johnson record to recognize bad debt expense for 2021? 3. Assume Johnson made no other adjustment of the allowance for uncollectible accounts during 2021. Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021 4. If Johnson instead used the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2021?"</em>

1. Gross accounts Receivable = Allowance Account balance at beginning / 10%

= $30,000 / 10%

= $300,000

2.     Year   Account Title                              Debit     Credit

       2021  Bad debt expense                   $105,000

                  ($500,000*10% + $55,000)  

                         To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts   $105,000

3.  Accounts receivable written off = Beginning balance of Allowance Account - Ending Balance of Allowance account

= $30,000 - (- $50,000)

= $30,000 + $50,000

= $80,000

4. Bad debt expense for 2021 (direct write off method) = Amount written off = $80,000

Answer:

(C) the intended use of a product.

Implied as the term means that it is obvious, further guarantee means that the guarantee is obvious.

Now, this is because of the use of the product, as for example there is an equipment called heater, which is generally sold in winters, as it warms the room.

Now it is implied that the heater shall at-least be in proper condition and shall work without any failure for one season of winters.

The correct answer is,

For an average commercial vehicle being driven at 55 mph on dry pavement, it will take about _____ to bring the vehicle to a sto
zalisa [80]
Answer: 300 feet

Explanation:
Three important factors are involved in bringing a moving vehicle to a stop.

1. Perception distance is the distance a vehicle travels while your brain perceives the need to apply the brakes. An alert driver requires about 0.75 seconds to react. This time accounts for about 60 feet of travel.

2. Reaction distance is the distance traveled before the driver actually presses on the brake pedal. For an alert driver, this also takes about 0.75 seconds. This adds another 60 feet of travel.

3. Braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels before coming to a stop on a dry ground. On a slippery ground (after snow or rain) this distance is longer. On dry ground, the skidding distance is about 170 feet.

This means that an alert driver needs 60+60+170 = 290 feet (approximately 300 feet) to stop.
For this reason, tailgating at high driving speeds is dangerous.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

$1400

Explanation:

Net working capital is obtained by subtracting total current liabilities from total current assets.  Current assets and liabilities are expected to be used or paid within one year.

Change in net working capital would be the change in current assets - change in current liabilities.

last year  current assets  $67,200 : current liabilities $71,100

This year  current assets  $82,600 : current liabilities  $85,100

change Net operating capital = {$82,600- 67,200} - {85,100 - 71,100}

                     =$15,400 -14,000= -$1400

Change in networking capital = $1400
