on on the net income the company earns each year. Each December he estimates year-end financial figures in anticipation of the bonus he will receive.

What effect does lowering the estimate for doubtful accounts have on the income statement and balance sheet?

Most corporations count revenue, not when payment is received, as when sales occur.

Explanation:

1. Doubtful accounts or account holders, in which you fear you will not be paid, are excluded from taxes, which raises the net income recorded by the corporation.

2. Not as a boss with her property. She shall be an agent as a boss working for the good of the business owner. When the only reason she makes improvements to her accounts is to maximize her salary, she places her own future in the hands of the interests of the company / owner. Especially as it may affect the company's decision making by changing its net income. Unless she has a valid reason to reduce questionable figures of account, Then she did not commit an ethical breach but as the trigger makes clear she takes her decisions on the grounds of the desire to reduce her own income, even though she is no more the owner's loyal employee.

3. In any incident that an accounting transition affects the remuneration of the manager, the manager should provide a short justification that should be submitted to the owner or the board of directors.

Answer:

Net Sales

Gross Revenue                                           $‭101,200

Less:

Sales Discount                         $288

Sales Returns                          <u> $1,000 </u>      <u>  $1,288</u>

Net Sales                                                      $‭99,912‬‬

Gross revenue  = 83,200 + 18,000 = $‭101,200‬

Gross Profit

Rey Company’s single product sells at a price of $216 per unit. Data for its single product for its first year of operations fol
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

1. Using Absorption Costing

Income Statement

Sales    20,000 X $216                             = $4,320,000

Less: Cost of Goods Sold (Note 1)            =($1,240,000)

Gross Margin                                             = $3,080,000

Less: Operating Expenses

Selling and Administrative Expense         = ($560,000)

(Note 2)                                                        

Net Income                                                  = $2,520,000

Note:

  1. Cost of goods Sold = All the direct variable cost + direct fixed cost = Direct materials + Direct Labor + Direct Overhead = $20 +$28 + $6 = $54 per unit, Total = $54 X 20,000 units = $1,080,000 + Fixed cost = $160,000 = $1,240,000
  2. Selling And Administrative Expense = Variable + Fixed, Variable = $18 X 20,000 units = $360,000, Fixed Expenses = $200,000, Total = $560,000

2. Using Variable Statement

Sales    20,000 X $216                             = $4,320,000

Less: Variable Costs

Direct Material $20 X 20,000                    = ($400,000)

Direct Labor  $28 X 20,000                       = ($560,000)

Variable Overhead $6 X 20,000               = ($120,000)

Variable Selling Expense $18 X 20,000    = ($360,000)

Contribution Margin                                     = $2,880,000

Less: Fixed Costs

Fixed Overhead                                            = ($160,000)

Fixed Selling & Administrative                     = ($200,000)

Net Income                                                    = $2,520,000

Note: Under Variable Statement first variable expenses are deducted to get the value of contribution, and then fixed expenses are deducted to get net income, whereas in absorption costing firstly manufacturing expenses are deducted to get gross margin and then operating expenses like selling and administrative expenses are deducted to get the net income.

But Net income is same in both cases.

A dwelling with a replacement cost of $150,000 was insured under a Homeowners 3 policy for $105,000 at the time the roof was des
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: $13125

Explanation:

The amount that the insurer will pay to settle this loss will be calculated thus:

= Insured claim × Insurance value / 80% of replacement value

= 15000 × 105,000 /80% × 150000.

= 15000 × 105,000 / 120000

= 13125

Therefore, the insurer will pay $13125
