Rashid [163]

Answer:

A) economic order quantity ( order quantity model that will minimize the total holding cost and ordering costs ) = $\sqrt{3*1500*77/23}$ = $\sqrt{15065.21739}$ = 122. 74 ≈ 122 ( optimal ordering quantity ) units

B) Annual holding cost = 23 * 122 / 2 = $1403

C ) Annual ordering costs = 1500/122 * 77 = $947

D ) The reorder point = daily demand * lead time = 50 * 3 = 150 units

Explanation:

Annual demand for connectors : 1500

ordering cost ( cost to place and process an order ) : $77

annual holding cost per unit : $23

B) Annual holding cost = 23 * 122/2 = $1403

C ) Annual ordering costs = 1500 / 122 * 77 = $946.72 ≈ $947

D ) The reorder point = daily demand * lead time = 50 * 3 = 150 units

daily demand = 1500 / 300 = 50

lead time = 3

kogti [31]

Answer:

Bad debt expense $ 26,300

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 26,300

Explanation:

Initial Balance

Accounts Receivable $ 121,000

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 2,100 - Debit

Bad Debts Expense = 20% / Accounts Receivable $ 24,200

Adjusting Entry

Bad debt expense $ 26,300

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 26,300

Final Balance

Accounts Receivable $ 121,000

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 24,200 - Credit

Accounts Uncollectible are those credit that the company give and there are not chances of been collected.

When the customers buy products on credits but then the company can't collect the debt, then it's necessary to write off the unpaid bill as uncollectible

One way it's to write-off directly the bad debts at the moment decided that the credit are uncollectible, the total amount it's reported as bad debt expenses which affect negativly the income statement and the accounts receivable are reduce in the same amount, less assets.

The other way it's to determine a percentage of total amount of accounts receivables as uncollectible, exist many ways to analize the accounts receivable and figure the value of uncollectible.

When the company have the percentage of uncollectible accounts the journal entry required is Bad Expenses (debit) with Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (credit)

At the moment of the write-off as the expenses were before recognized we only use the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Debit) with Accounts Receivable (Credit), with this we are recognizing the uncollectible credit of the company.
