Answer:

Bad Debt Expense ($40,000 - $3,200)  $36,800

           To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts   $36,800

(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)

Explanation:

The adjusting entry is shown below:

Bad Debt Expense ($40,000 - $3,200)  $36,800

           To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts   $36,800

(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)

For recording this we debited the bad debt expense as it increased the expenses and credited the allowance for doubtful debts as it decreased the value of the assets

And since there is a credit balance so the same is deducted from the account receivable

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Marigold Company

Cost of goods sold = $9,119

Ending inventory = $7,461

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                            Units    Unit Cost    Total Cost

April 1 inventory    250         $14            $ 3,500

April 15 purchase  420           17                 7,140

April 23 purchase 330           18                5,940

Total                    1,000                           $16,580

Weighted-average costs   $16.58

Sales                     550

Cost of goods sold = 550 * $16.58 = $9,119

Ending inventory = 450 * $16.58 = $7,461

b) The first computation is for the total cost of goods available, which is then divided by the total units available for sale.  This gives the weighted-average cost per unit.  This unit cost is then multiplied with the units of ending inventory and sales to obtain the cost of the ending inventory and the cost of goods sold, respectively.

irinina [24]

Answer:

$87 million

Explanation:

The projected benefit obligation (PBO) is a measurement of the present amount of money needed by a company to cover future pension liabilities. PBO uses how long the employee will work and any increased future obligations to the employee's pension.

Given that:

PBO at the beginning of the year = $80 million

Service cost for the year =  $10 million

Interest =  Discount rate × PBO at beginning of the year = 5% × $80 million = 0.05 × $80 million = $4 million

Actuarial (gain) Loss = Amount paid - Expected money = $5 million - $4 million = $1 million

Benefits paid paid by trustees = $6 million

The total pension expense for the year = PBO at year beginning + Service cost + interest - Actuarial (gain) Loss - benefits = $80 million + $10 million + $4 million - $1 million - $6 million = $87 million
