<span>A trend extrapolation is detecting faulty underlying assumptions before forecasting errors can occur. This is to allow forecasters to place  a trend that is evident over time, and then calculate it forward base on the calculated data relating rates of change. An example is detecting the climate of the day. Forecasting it is not easy since analysts have to extrapolate the past data to predict the future event. </span>

Since 2017 will serve as the base year, the denominator for all calculations will be the $150,000 in net sales from that year.

2017:                                2018:                                   2019:

= 150,000 / 150,000       = 234,560 / 150,000         = 252,600 / 150,000

= 100%                             = 156.37%                           = 168.40%

2020:                                2021:                                  

= 270,800 / 150,000       = 282,880 / 150,000

= 180.53%                         = 188.59%

The upward trend in this trend's net sales is encouraging.

What is the trend for cost of goods sold?

2017:                                2018:                                   2019:

= 67,000 / 67,000        = 106,440 / 67,000            = 115,280 / 67,000

= 100%                             = 158.87%                           = 172.06%

2020:                                2021:                                

= 122,080 /67,000          = 128,200 / 67,000

= 182.21%                         = 191.34%

This is Unfavorable since the cost of the goods is an expense.

What is the trend for accounts receivable?

2017:                                2018:                                   2019:

= 9,000 / 9,000              = 15,200/ 9,000                = 16,400 / 9,000

= 100%                             = 168.87%                           = 182.22%

2020:                                2021:                                

= 17,300 / 9,000             = 18,100 / 9,000

= 192.22%                         = 201.11%

More Accounts Receivables are a negative because the business needs cash, so they should be reduced.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Material Price Variance= $ 11640 favorable

Material Quantity Variance= $6800 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Becton Labs, Inc.

Standard Quantity= 2.6ounce * 3600 units =  9360 ounces

Actual quantity used:  Purchases Less Ending Inventory 13000 ounces- 3300 ounces=  9700 ounces

Actual price : $244,400/13,000=  $ 18.8

Standard price : $ 20.00

Material Price Variance= (Actual Price * Actual Quantity)- (Standard Price * Actual Quantity)

Material Price Variance= ($ 18.80 * 9700)-($20.0 *9700)= $ 182360- $ 194000= 11640 Favorable

Material Price Variance= $ 11640 favorable

Material Quantity Variance= (Standard Price * Actual Quantity)-(Standard Price * Standard Quantity)

Material Quantity Variance=($20 *9700)-($ 20 * 9360)

Material Quantity Variance=$ 194000-187200= 6800

Material Quantity Variance= $6800 Unfavorable

Total direct materials variance= $ 11640 favorable -$6800 Unfavorable

Total direct materials variance= 4840 favorable

2. Yes they should as he is offering less price than the standard price.

Even if more material is used the total material variance is favorable indicating a gain not a loss.

Spade Agency separates its accounts receivable into three age groups for purposes of estimating the percentage of uncollectible
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

a. total estimated uncollectible accounts is $21,190

b. to entry the adjustment, we have to debit bad debt expense and credit allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $14,690

Explanation:

a. to compute the estimated uncollectible accounts, we have to multiply the specific % to the accounts receivable plus the beginning balance;

•Accounts not due

$36,000 x 4% = $1,440

•Accounts 1 - 60 days past due

$21,000 x 25% = $5,250

•Accounts more than 60 days past due

$16,000 x 50% = $8,000

So the total uncollectible accounts would be; $6,500 + $1,440 + $5,250 + $8,000 = $21,190

b. to record the year-end adjustment of the uncollectible accounts, we have to debit bad debt expense and credit allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $14,690. This figure is the uncollectible amount we computed earlier based on the aging.
