Answer:

1. the year-end balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts is $6,680.

2. The bad debt for the year is -$2,320.

Explanation:

1. To calculate the year-end balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts:

First we calculate the Account Receivable which is calculated as thus:

 ==> Account Receivable (ending balance) = accounts receivable (beginning balance) + Credit sales  - cash collected - written off accounts receivable.

==> 300,000 + 1,500,000 - 1,450,000 - 16,000 = $334,000

Therefore the account receivable = $334,000.

Estimated percentage of bad debts = 2%

allowance of uncollectible accounts = Account Receivable x Estimated percentage.

==> $334,000 x 2% = $6,680

Hence, the year-end balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts is $6,680.

2. To calculate the bad debt expense for the year, we use:

allowance of uncollectible acountsl (ending balance) -  [Allowance of uncollectible account (opening balance) - accounts receivables written off)

==> $6,680 - ($25,000 - $16,000)

     = 6,680 - 9,000

     = -$2,320

The bad debt for the year is -$2,320. This is incurred when customers pay for an invoice when it has been written off.

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: D. Longhorn owns the inventory and should report it on its balance sheet.

Explanation:

Goods to be sold on consignment for a company means a company is selling goods for another company and will be paid for their services.

In that case, the company being sold for will retain the ownership of the goods because the company that is selling it for them is simply providing a service.

Angus in this scenario are simply holding the goods to sell it and so do not own the goods. Longhorn should therefore record it in their own books as inventory.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

2) perfectly vertical

Explanation:

When the price elasticity of demand is perfectly inelastic, the demand curve is perfectly vertical. This means that the quantity demanded will remain the same no matter what price.

In this scenario, the supply curve for oranges shifted to the left due to the early freeze, which results in a price increase at every level of quantity demanded. Since the demand is perfectly inelastic, the new equilibrium price will be determined by the how much the supply curve shifts.
