Answer:

The correct option is 2. $50,200

Explanation:

Please see below the required journals for the transactions that occurred:

Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts             $31,800

Credit Accounts receivable                                $31,800

(<em>To record write-off of accounts receivable)</em>

Debit Accounts receivable                           $2,340,000

Credit Sales revenue                                    $2,340,000

<em>(To record credit sales during the year)</em>

Debit Cash                                                      $1,910,000

Credit Accounts receivable                           $1,910,000

<em>(To record collection on account)</em>

  • The effect of the above journals on allowance for doubtful account is a reduction. Since Dinty already assessed its allowance for doubtful account to be $82,000, bad debt expense required will be $50,200 ($82,000 - $31,800).
  • The balance in accounts receivable will be $2,340,000 - $1,910,000 - $31,800 = $398,200.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

b) not likely to have jurisdiction over the case because QuickAds is based in Georgia.

Also QuickAds only contact with persons in Alabama has been through QuickAds passive advertising.

In this scenario the case can be tried in federal court because it can handle cases across state borders.

Dée Trader opens a brokerage account and purchases 300 shares of Internet Dreams at $36 per share. She borrows $4,500 from her b
meriva

Answer:

A) Dee´s Margin = 58.33%; B) Remaining Margin if price drops to $26 is 30.56% C) She won´t receive a margin call (but close...)

D) Rate of Return = - 32.36%

Explanation:

Hi, first let´s find out what the initial margin is, for that we have to use the following formula.

Margin=\frac{Equity}{ValueStocks}

Now, in order to find the equity, we have to find the total value of the stocks and substract the debt from it, since it was 300 shares at $30 per share, the total value of the investment is $7,800, therefore, its equity is $3,300 ($7,800-$4,500).

So everything should look like this

Margin=\frac{6,300}{10,800} =0.5833

So the initial margin was 58.33%

If the price drops to $26 by the end of the year, the remaining margin in her account is:

Margin=\frac{3,300}{10,800} =0.3056

So the remaining margin one year later, after the stock price dropped to $26 was 30.56%

Now, in order to find the rate of return on her investment, at the end of the year, we have to remember that the money loaned was at 11%, therefore, the best way to find out the return of this investment is to convert this into money, like such.

First (Gross Return of the stock)

Gross Return=\frac{Final.P-Initial.P}{Initial.P} x100

Gross Return=\frac{26-36}{36} x100=-0.2778

Ok, we have the gross return, which is -$27.78%

The interest expenses are just as follows.

Interest Expense=4,500*0.11=-495

To find the return on the investmen, we need to use the following formula.

RateReturn=\frac{FinalInvestment-InitialInvestment}{InitialInvesment} x100

The final investment is: Gross return($)+interest Expenses

FinalInvest=\frac{300*(-10)+(-4,500*0.11)}{10,800} =-0.3236

This means that, by the end of the year, her return on the investment was -32.36%. In money, this is - $3,495.

Best of luck.

Lamont Communications has amortized a patent on a straight-line basis since it was acquired in 2010 at a cost of $50 million. Du
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

C) Patent amortization expense of $5 million.

Explanation:

Patent acquisition date is 2010

Cost of acquisition = $50 million

Initial Useful life = 20 years

Annual amortization = $50,000,000/20

                                  = $2,500,000

Between 2010 and start of 2013 is 3 years

Carrying value at the start of 2013

= 50,000,000 - 3(2,500,000)

= $42,500,000

If patent would be received over a total period of 8 years rather than the 20-year legal life being used to amortize the cost,

Patent amortization expense in 2013 = $42,500,000/8

                                                              = $5,312,500

This can be estimated as $5 million.

The right option is C) Patent amortization expense of $5 million.
