In 2022, Company A had net credit sales of $2,250,000. On January 1, 2022, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a credit balance

of $54,000. During 2022, $90,000 of uncollectible accounts receivable were written off. Past experience indicates that the allowance should be 10% of the balance in receivables (percentage of receivables basis). If the accounts receivable balance at December 31 was $600,000, what is the required adjustment to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at December 31, 2022?

Answer:

A credit entry of $96,000

Explanation:

When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.  

To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.

Given that Past experience indicates that the allowance should be 10% of the balance in receivables

Allowance = 10% * $600,000

= $60,000

Amount written off of $90,000 would have made the  balance in  the allowance for doubtful debts to

= $90,000 - $54,000

= $36,000 (Debit)

However, the balance in the account at the end of the year should amount to $60,000 hence the adjustments required

= $60,000 + $36,000

= $96,000 (credit)

Riggs Company purchases sails and produces sailboats. It currently produces 1,200 sailboats per year, operating at normal capaci
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

It is more convenient to produce the sails in house.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Riggs purchases sails at $ 250 each, but the company is considering using the excess capacity to manufacture the sails instead. The manufacturing cost per sail would be $ 100 for direct materials, $ 80 for direct labor, and $ 90 for overhead. The $ 90 overhead includes $ 78,000 of annual fixed overhead that is allocated using normal capacity.

Because there will not be an increase in fixed costs, we will not have them into account.

Variable overhead= 90 - (78,000/1,200)= 25

Unitary variable cost= 100 + 80 + 25= 205

It is more convenient to produce the sails in house.

Janie has a joint account with her mother with a balance of $562,000. Based on $250,000 of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

$31,000

Explanation:

Given:

Janie holds joint account with her mother that has a balance of $562,000. They are covered up to $250,000 each under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

It is assumed by FDIC that all co-owners' shares are equal.

So, Janie's share in the balance = 562,000 ÷ 2

                                                       = $281,000

Amount insured = $250,000

Uninsured amount = 281,000 - 250,000

                               = $31,000

Therefore, Janie's savings worth $31,000 will not be covered by deposit insurance.

Petrus Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,730 per month plus $11 per frame. For the month of March, the company
Stells [14]

Answer:

-$55  U

Explanation:

For computation of activity variance for supplies cost in March first we need to find the budgeted activity of standard supplies cost and actual activity of standard supplies cost is shown below:-

Budgeted activity of standard supplies cost = Supplies cost + Per frame cost × budgeted Activity frames

= $1,730 + $11 × 613

= $1,730 + $6,743

= $8,473

Actual activity of Standard supplies cost = Supplies cost + Per frame cost × Actual activity frames

= $1,730 + $11 × 618

= $1,730 + $6,798

= $8,528

So, activity variance for supplies cost = Budgeted activity of standard supplied cost - Actual activity of Standard supplies cost

= $8,473 - $8,528

= -$55
