Answer:

The adjustment to record bad debts for the period will be:

Debit Bad debt expense ($20,000 - $3,000)                    $17,000

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts                            $17,000

<em>(Bad debt expense required)</em>

Explanation:

Bicylce Company adopts the aging of accounts receivable method. The aging of accounts receivable is a criterion for apportioning the balance in the accounts receivable into different buckets (aging), for example: Not due, 1 - 30 days, 30 - 60 days, over 60 days, based on historical information and assigning a credit loss percentage to each bucket.

Since the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a $3,000 credit, to calculate the required bad debt expense, we need to back out this amount from the amount that is deemed uncollectible, that is $20,000 - $3,000 = $17,000.

Mama L [17]

Answer: See attachment and explanation

Explanation:

1. Ortiz purchased a 20% interest for $20,000.

Total capital after the admission of the partner will be:

= ($96000 - $4000) + ($40000 - $4000) + $20000

= $92000 + $36000 + $20000

= $148000

The share of new partner in the capital structure will be:

= Total capital × Interest of new partner

= $148000 × 20%

= $29600

There'll be a deficiency in the profit which the existing partner contributes to and this will be:

= $29600 - $20000

= $9600

Then each partner shares =$9600/2 = $4800

2. Ortiz purchased a 30% interest for $60,000.

Total capital after the admission of the partner will be:

= ($96000 - $4000) + ($40000 - $4000) + $60000

= $92000 + $36000 + $60000

= $188000

The share of new partner in the capital structure will be:

= Total capital × Interest of new partner

= $188000 × 30%

= $56400

Since the share is less than the amount of $60000 bought in, the existing partner will be compensated in the amount of ($60000 - $56400) = $3600. Therefore each partner gets $3600/2 = $1800
