Answer:

Ending inventory as at 31 December = $1500

Explanation:

First-In-First-Out is a method of inventory valuation whereby the stock that comes in first, is used first. This is common for inventory consisting of perishables, such as vegetables where if not used/sold soon, it would be wasted.

Jan 31: Purchases = $20 x 100 units = $2000

<em><u>Remaining inventory:</u></em>

$20 x 100 units = $2000

Feb 28: Purchases = $30 x 100 units = $3000

<em><u>Remaining inventory:</u></em>

$20 x 100 units = $2000

$30 x 100 units = $3000

<em><u>Sales = 150 units x $45:</u></em>

$20 x 100 units = $2000

$30 x 50 units = $1500

<em><u>Remaining inventory</u></em>

200 - 150 = 50 units x $30 = $1500

<em>Thus,</em>

Cost of Goods Sold = $3500 ($2000 + $1500)

Ending inventory as at 31 December = $1500

Oriole Company reports the following financial information before adjustments. - Dr. Cr. Accounts Receivable $130,100 Allowance
fgiga [73]

Answer:

(a) 4% of accounts receivable

  • Oriole Company estimates bad debts at (a) 4% of accounts receivable  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 35,001  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 35,001

  • (b) 4% of accounts receivable but Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a $1,490 debit balance.

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 39,801  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 39,801

Explanation:

Initial Balance  

Dr Accounts Receivable   $ 130,100

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 3,310

Sales Revenue (all on credit)  

Dr Accounts Receivable  $ 880,500  

Cr Sales  $ 880,500

Sales Returns and Allowances    

Dr Sales Returns and Allowances $ 52,830  

Cr Accounts Receivable   $ 52,830

Oriole Company estimates bad debts at (a) 4% of accounts receivable  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 35,001  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 35,001

To register the adjustment of 4% of accounts receivables it's necessary considerate the values previously recorded in the account.

It means, CREDIT Balance $3,310 and to register the difference.

4% of accounts receivable but Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a $1,490 debit balance.  

Dr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 1,490

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 39,801  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 39,801

If the company applies the allowance method, it means that the account Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts must show as balance the % of accounts receivables as CREDIT.  

Because the company has a debit balance in that account it's necessary to register an entry that compensate the DEBIT value and reflect A CREDIT estimated as % of account receivable.  

FINAL Balance  

Dr Accounts Receivable  $ 957,770  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 38,311

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 necessary 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.

Shalnov [3]

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

Information Systems are the networks of both the hardware and the software which is used by economic agents to collect, process, create and help in the distribution of data.

Information Technology (IT) flattens organizations simply means that information systems can help in the reduction of the levels in an organization through the provision of information to managers which will be used in the supervision of other emoloyees and also, lower-level employees could be given more authority relating to decision-making.

Since decision making has been pushed to lower level then fewer managers will be needed. This ensures that faster decision making are made and there's increase in the span of control.

Ending total assets are $1,500,000, inventory turnover is 6.0 times, net sales are $8,000,000 and the asset turnover is 4.0 time
NARA [144]

Answer:

$2,500,000

Explanation:

Data provided

Ending assets = $1,500,000

Inventory turnover = 6.0 times

Net sales = $8,000,000

The computation of beginning total asset balance is shown below:-

Average total assets = $8,000,000 ÷ 4

= $2,000,000

Total assets = $2,000,000 × 2

= $4,000,000

Beginning assets  = Total assets - Ending assets

= $4,000,000  - 1,500,000

= $2,500,000

Therefore we applied the above formula
