Sage Company has recorded bad debt expense in the past at a rate of 1.5% of accounts receivable, based on an aging analysis. In

2017, Sage decides to increase its estimate to 2%. If the new rate had been used in prior years, cumulative bad debt expense would have been $387,800 instead of $299,000. In 2017, bad debt expense will be $122,400 instead of $91,130. If Sage’s tax rate is 27%, what amount should it report as the cumulative effect of changing the estimated bad debt rate?

Answer:

The cumulative effect of the change in the rate of bad debt will, therefore, be $0.

Explanation:

According to International Accounting Standard 8( IAS 8), any changes in accounting policies (convention, base, principle, etcetera) and period errors are accounted for retrospectively. This means that previous period figures will have to be adjusted.

On the other hand, any changes in estimates are recognized prospectively. This includes reassessment of future benefits and obligations.

From the given information, the change in the rate of bad debt amounts to a change in estimate. As such, the change in this rate will affect the period in which the change took place. That is, 2017 and in future.

The cumulative effect of the change in the rate of bad debt will, therefore, be $0.

A random sample of 30 lunch orders at noodles and company showed a mean bill of $10.36 with a standard deviation of $5.31. find
Paladinen [302]

The formula for calculating the Confidence Interval is as follows:

Confidence Interval = x +- (z*s)/√N

Where:

x = mean = 10.36

z = taken from standard normal distribution table based on 95% confidence level = 1.96

s = standard deviation = 5.31

N = sample size = 30

Substituting know values on the equation:

Confidence Interval = 10.36 +- ( 1.96 * 5.31) / √30

Confidence Interval = 8.46 and 12.26

Hence the bill of lunch orders ranges from 8.46 to 12.26.

Tasya [4]

Answer:

a) Cash received = $183,350

b) Interest expense = $12,730

c) Carrying value = $186,010

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

a) Face value of bond = $190,000

Issued at =0.965

Cash received = $190,000 × 0.965

= $183,350

b) Discount on bonds payable = $190,000 - $183,350

=$6,650

Annual amortization of discount on bonds payable =$6,650÷5

= $1,330

Cash interest = $190,000×0.60

= $11,400

Interest expenses = $11,400+$1,330

= $12,730

c)

carrying value = $183,350 + ($1,330 × 2)

= $186,010

Explanation:

To calculate the liability we will use the simple equation given below.

Asset-equity=liability

Assets-RE=Liability

                        Current year      Change*        Next Year

Assets                  180,506.00    29,506.00        151,000.00  

Common Stock   (11,365.00)         0               (11,365.00)

Retain Earning  (92,472.00)  (10,000.00)      (102,472.00)

Liability- BaL figure   76,669.00                           37,163.00  

   

*Retain earning= Net profit- dividend  

Hence balancing figure that is 37,163 dollars is liabilty for next year,
