Answer:

The adjustment to record the bad debt expense for the period will require a debit $3,654

Explanation:

There are two way to estimate uncollectible accounts: the percentage of sales method and the accounts receivable aging method.  

The company uses the accounts receivable aging method to estimate the uncollectible accounts and estimated uncollectible of $4,979

Before adjustment, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a $1,325 credit balance.

Bad debt expense for the period = $4,979 - $1,325 = $3,654

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

4,000 units

Explanation:

Given that

Sales volume = 60,000 units

Budgeted production = 54,000 units

Beginning finished goods = 10,000 units

The computation of units for ending finished goods inventory is computed below:-

Budgeted production = Ending finished goods + Sales volume - Beginning finished goods

54,000 = Ending finished goods + 60,000 - 10,000

54,000 = Ending finished goods + 50,000

= 4,000 units

I believe your answer is A: Unearned Revenue.

Because, if a business has received cash, in advance of services performed, and credits a liability account, the adjusting entry needed, after the services are performed, will be debit Unearned Revenue and credit Cash.

diamong [38]

Answer:

hope this helps

Assume that you hold a well-diversified portfolio that has an expected return of 11.0% and a beta of 1.20. You are in the process of buying 1,000 shares of Alpha Corp at $10 a share and adding it to your portfolio. Alpha has an expected return of 21.5% and a beta of 1.70. The total value of your current portfolio is $90,000. What will the expected return and beta on the portfolio be after the purchase of the Alpha stock? Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Old portfolio return

11.0%

Old portfolio beta

1.20

New stock return

21.5%

New stock beta

1.70

% of portfolio in new stock = $ in New / ($ in old + $ in new) = $10,000/$100,000=

10%

New expected portfolio return = rp = 0.1 × 21.5% + 0.9 × 11% =

12.05%​

New expected portfolio beta = bp = 0.1 × 1.70 + 0.9 × 1.20 =

1.25​
