Answer:  Debit Bad debt expense $11,264, Credit Allowance for bad debt $11,264; Debit Allowance for bad debt $9,650, Credit Accounts receivable $9,650.

Explanation: Percentage of credit sales method means bad debt expense expressed as a percentage of sales.

The estimated bad debts rate is 2.2%, which translates to 2.2% of $512,000 (credit sales) = $11,264. The firm has to record this, being the estimated bad debts rate, as Debit to bad debt expense and Credit to allowance for bad debt. However, accounts receivable that was deemed uncollectible is $9,650. This amount would be taken out from the buffer in allowance account by debiting allowance for bad debt and crediting accounts receivable.

seropon [69]
<span>If you cause a car accident, which type of insurance will require you to pay the least out of pocket? A low deductible plan. When you have a low deductible plan, you are going to pay less out of pocket because you will likely meet your out of pocket max in a short timeframe. When you meet your out of pocket max, you hit your deductible amount that needs to be paid by you and then your insurance will handle the rest. </span>

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

$28,000 and $12,000, respectively

Explanation:

Marginal cost = incremental cost from Plan C to Plan D

= total cost (plan D) - total cost (plan C)

= 72,000 - 44,000 = $28,000

Marginal benefit = incremental benefit from Plan C to Plan D

= total benefit (plan D) - total benefit (plan C)

= 64,000 - 52,000 = $12,000

Therefore marginal cost and benefits for Plan D = $28,000 and $12,000, respectively
