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.

The annual demand for a product is 15,300 units. The weekly demand is 294 units with a standard deviation of 90 units. The cost
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Reorder point = (weekly demand * lead time) + (Z * standard deviation * √lead time) = (294 * 10) + (2.326 * 90 * √10) = 2,940 + 661.99 = 3,602 units

Old safety stock = Z * standard deviation * √lead time = 662 units

new safety stock = 331

331 = Z * 90 * √10

Z = 331 / 284.60 = 1.163

Using Normal distribution function, the new confidence interval is 87.76%

Identify which control activity is violated in each of the following situations, and explain how the situation creates an opport
lesantik [10]

Answer:

1. Once a month, the sales department sends sales invoices to the accounting department to be recorded.

⇒ documentation procedures

Unless all of the company's sales take place only once a month, sales should be recorded as soon as possible. Accounting records must be as precise and accurate as possible, and they must be processed on time. Stacking invoices makes no sense, since sales might be on cash or the collection period might be very short. Who holds the money until the sales records are made?

2. Leah Hutcherson orders merchandise for Rice Lake Company; she also receives merchandise and authorizes payment for merchandise.

⇒ segregation of duties

One single person cannot be responsible for the whole process, since this creates a huge opportunity for fraud. Imagine if the person in charge of the inventory is also in charge of making new purchases, paying for them and reporting ending inventory. No company would be able survive one year, while the person in charge would get rich.

3. Several clerks at Great Foods use the same cash register drawer

⇒ establishment of responsibility

If everyone is allowed to collect money, no one can be responsible for any loss.

The Poison Apple Diner had an average dinner cover charge of $8.75 during the month of September, when 3,000 atrons were served.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

0.583

Explanation:

Data provided in the question;

Average dinner charges = $8.75

Initial demand = 3,000 atrons

Increase in price = $0.50

Final demand = 2,900

Thus,

change in demand = 3,000 - 2,900 = 100

Now,

The price elasticity of demand = \frac{\textup{Percentage change in demand}}{\textup{Percentage change in price}}

also,

Percentage change in demand = \frac{\textup{Change in demand}}{\textup{Initial demand}}\times100\%

= \frac{\textup{100}}{\textup{3000}}\times100\%

= 3.33%

Percentage change in price =  \frac{\textup{Change in price}}{\textup{Initial price}}\times100\%

= \frac{\textup{0.50}}{\textup{8.75}}\times100\%

= 5.714

thus,

The price elasticity of demand = \frac{\textup{3.33}\%}{\textup{5.714}\%}

= 0.583

dolphi86 [110]

Answer: Sunk Cost

Explanation:

A sunk cost is an expense which a company or entity has already incurred and which cannot be recovered and so should not be considered when making decisions regarding incremental benefits or costs to an investment.

The $48 had already been incurred to produce the defective units and cannot be recovered so it is a sunk cost that should not be considered moving forward.
