Answer:

British Pound  has depreciated while US dollar has appreciated.

Explanation:

  • Currency depreciation occurs when a specific currency worths less in terms of other currencies. In this case, at the beggining,  we were able to buy one dollar with 0.5 pounds. Then, to obtain the same dollar, we have to pay 0.75 pounds (0.25 more pounds than before), which means that British pound worth less in terms of dollars.
  • Currency appreciation occurs the opposite way: it happens when a specific currency worths more in term of others currencies. This is the case of US dollar: at the beggining we were able to buy 0.5 pounds with one dollar, while then, with the same dollar we can buy 0.75 pounds. We are able to buy more of other currencies when appreciation occurs.

vodomira [7]

Answer: The correct answer is b. debit to Bad Debts Expense for $1,800.

Explanation: The company adopts the aging bad debt method on receivable. The aging method is a way of classifying receivables as uncollectible based on the length of time the receivables have been outstanding and the probability of recoverability of such receivables.

To make a provision for bad debt expense: debit is passed to bad debt expense while credit is passed to allowance for doubtful accounts. The bad debt expense reports to the income statement while allowance for doubtful accounts reports to the balance sheet (statement of financial position). Based on the question, the allowance for doubtful accounts has a credit balance of $1,200; however, $3,000 was estimated to be uncollectible. In order to restate the amount to $3,000, we need to debit bad debt expense and credit allowance for doubtful accounts with $1,800 ($3,000 - $1,200).
