Answer:

a. Estimate the balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts assuming the company uses 4% of total accounts receivable to estimate uncollectibles, instead of the aging of receivables method.

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 23.000

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 23.000

b. Prepare the adjusting entry to record Bad Debts Expense using the estimate from part a.  

Assume the unadjusted balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a $12,100 credit  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 5.720

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 5.720

c. Prepare the adjusting entry to record bad debts expense using the estimate from part a.  

Assume the unadjusted balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a $1,100 debit.  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 18.920

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 18.920

Explanation:

Total Accounts Receivable $575,000 * 4% = $23,000

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 23,000

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 23,000

========================================================

$397,000  2%  $7,940  Past Due 0 days

$91,000    3%  $2,730  Past Due 1-30 days

$37,000    6%  $2,220  Past Due 31-60 days

$19,000    8%  $1,520  Past due 61-90 days

$31,000     11%  $3,410  Over 90 days

$575,000    $17,820  

If the unadjusted balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a $12,100 credit then:

$17,820 - $12,100 = $5,720

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 5,720

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 5,720

Because the company already has a CREDIT balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts it's necessary to register an entry that complement the existing value and reflect the total balance as calculated.

==============================================================

If the unadjusted balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a $1,100 debit.

$17,820 + $1,100 = $18,920

Because the company already has a DEBIT balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts it's necessary to register an entry that compensate the existing value and reflect the total balance as calculated.

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 18,920

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 18,920

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Following is the solution for the given problem.

Explanation:

Best order size, EOQ =√2DS/H

EOQ = √2*4700*60/5

EOQ = 336 units.

D = 4700/300 = 15.66.

σ L= √∑σ²

= √3*(5)² = 8.66.

Reorder point, R = D*L+ z σ L

Reorder point, R = 15.66*3 + 1.282*8.66

Reorder point, R = 58 units.
