Bad accounts are those credits granted by the company and there is no possibility of being charged.

When customers buy products on credits but the company cannot collect the debt, then it's necessar to cancel the unpaid invoice as uncollectible.

One way is to directly cancel bad debts at the time it was decided that the credit is bad, the total amount reported as bad debt expenses negatively affect the income statement and the accounts receivable are reduced by the same amount, less assets

The other way is to determine a percentage of the total amount of accounts receivable as bad debts, there are many ways to analyze accounts receivable and calculate the value of bad debts.

When the company has the percentage of uncollectible accounts, the required journal entry is Bad Expenses (debit) with Reserve for Bad Accounts (credit)

At the time of cancellation, since the expenses were recognized before, we only use the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Debit)  with accounts receivable (credit), with this we are recognizing the bad credit of the company.

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

At the beginning of the year used in the predetermined overhead rate must have been $16.30 per labor hour

Explanation:

Estimated manufacturing overhead = $477,590

Actual Labor hours = 29,000

Actual Manufacturing overhead = $472,590

Over application of manufacturing overhead = $110

As we know:

Over applied manufacturing overhead = Manufacturing overhead applied - Actual manufacturing overhead

$110 = Manufacturing overhead applied - $472,590

Manufacturing overhead applied = $110 + $472,590

Manufacturing overhead applied = $472,700

Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual Labor Hours x Predetermined overhead rate

$472,700 = 29,000 hours x Predetermined overhead rate

Predetermined overhead rate = $472,700 / 29,000 hours

Predetermined overhead rate = $16.30 per labor hour

Arntson, Inc., manufactures and sells two products: Product R3 and Product N0. The annual production and sales of Product of R3
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

$695.24 per unit

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what The unit product cost of Product R3 under activity-based costing is closest to

First step is to Calculate Activity rates

Activity Cost Pool Activity driver Overhead Cost (A) Expected Activity (B) Activity rate (A/B)

Labor related Number of DLH $ 40,636÷13,000 = 3.13 Per DLH

Production orders Number of Order 65,880÷ 1,600= 41.18 Per Order

Order size Number of MH 433,075÷ 7,600 = 56.98 Per MH

Second step is to calculate the Cost assigned to Product R3

Cost assigned to Product R3

Activity name Activity Rates Activity ABC Cost

(A) (B) (A x B)

Labor related 3.13 * 11,000 =$34,430

Production orders 41.18* 1,200=$49,416

Order size 56.98*3,900= $222,222

Total Overheads assigned $306,068

($34,430+$49,416+$222,222)

Production 1,100

Overhead cost per unit $278.24

Product R3

Direct material $211

Direct labor (10x $20.60 per DLH) $206

Overheads $278.24

Total Cost per unit $695.24

($211+$206+$278.24)

Therefore The unit product cost of Product R3 under activity-based costing is closest to $695.24 per unit

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

14.77%

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

= 4.97% + 1.40 × 7%

= 4.97% + 9.8%

= 14.77%

The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)  is also called market risk premium and the same is shown in the answer
