Answer:

(a) 10.4%; 16.73%

(b) 6.33%

Explanation:

Given that,

Wages paid to the workers in 2016 = $25 per hour

Price level in 2016 = 241

Wages paid to the workers in 2017 = $41 per hour

Price level in 2017 = 245

Real wage rate in 2016:

= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100

= ($25 ÷ 241) × 100

= 0.104 × 100

= 10.4%

Real wage rate in 2017:

= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100

= ($41 ÷ 245) × 100

= 0.1673 × 100

= 16.73%

Therefore, the real wage increase received by these workers in​ 2017 is calculated as follows:

= Real wage rate in 2017 - Real wage rate in 2016

= 16.73% -  10.4%

= 6.33%

Hence, these workers do get a raise between the two years.

Exercise 5-66 Bad Debt Expense: Percentage of Credit Sales Method Gilmore Electronics had the following data for a recent year:
Stels [109]

Answer:  Debit Bad debt expense $11,264, Credit Allowance for bad debt $11,264; Debit Allowance for bad debt $9,650, Credit Accounts receivable $9,650.

Explanation: Percentage of credit sales method means bad debt expense expressed as a percentage of sales.

The estimated bad debts rate is 2.2%, which translates to 2.2% of $512,000 (credit sales) = $11,264. The firm has to record this, being the estimated bad debts rate, as Debit to bad debt expense and Credit to allowance for bad debt. However, accounts receivable that was deemed uncollectible is $9,650. This amount would be taken out from the buffer in allowance account by debiting allowance for bad debt and crediting accounts receivable.
