Answer:
Debit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $2900
Credit : Accounts receivables = $2900
Explanation:
An account for allowance for doubtful debts is a contra account created, predicting that certain debtors will not be able to pay for the goods and services they purchased. This may be based on historical experiences. Doubtful debts aren’t officially uncollectible, it is simply an estimation made, but bad debts are, where you have officially written off a certain accounts receivable as uncollectible.
An allowance for doubtful debts is recorded in the balance sheet, directly under accounts receivables. Bad debts are recorded as an expense in the income statement. When there is an allowance for doubtful debts, the bad debts account is debited and the allowance for doubtful debts account is credited.
According to the question, the balance was $2,200 (Cr) in the allowance for doubtful debts account. The initial expected amount for allowance for doubtful debts was $5100 (Cr). This means that the difference was the amount that was declared as uncollectible and officially written off i.e. bad debts. Thus $2900 ($5100 -$2200) would have been confirmed as bad debts.
The entry to record the above transaction is:
Debit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $2900
Credit : Accounts receivables = $2900
Answer:
$100 million ; $10 million
Explanation:
Required reserve ratio (r) = 10%
Worth of bond = $10,000,000
The smallest increase can be thought of as being the $10million generated from open market operation and could be held by the bank as reserve.
To calculate the largest increase in deposit:
Money multiplier * deposit (worth of bond)
Money multiplier = (1 / reserve ratio)
Money multiplier = (1 / 0.1) = 10
Increase in deposit = 10 * $10,000,000 = $100,000,000 ( $100 million)
Answer:
$4,800
Explanation:
The computation of additional annual cash inflow is shown below:-
Saving in Annual Maintenance Cost by new machine = $15,000 - $6,000
= $9,000
Net savings on Maintenance = $9,000 × (1 - 0.4)
= $5,400
Decrease in Depreciation due to purchase of New machinery
= ($60,000 ÷ 10) - ($45,000 - 10)
= $6,000 - $4,500
= $1500
Tax to be paid due to decrease in Depreciation = Decrease in Depreciation due to purchase of New machinery × Tax rate
= $1,500 × 0.4
= $600
Net Annual cash Inflow due to new machinery = Net savings on Maintenance - Tax to be paid due to decrease in Depreciation
= $5,400 - $600
= $4,800
So, for computing the additional annual cash inflow we simply applied the above formula.
