December 31:
Debit Bad debt expense $6,034
Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $6,034
February 1:
Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts $431
Credit Accounts receivables $431
June 5:
Debit Cash $431
Credit Bad debt recovery (income statement) $431
Explanation: The company estimates its bad debt expense as percentage of sales. In this case 0.7% of its annual sales of $862,000 was deemed as uncollectible, that is, 0.7% x $862,000 = $6,034. The required journals to recognize this bad debt expense is provided above. However, since there was an existing provision, which resides in the allowance account, a write-off would definitely hit that account in order to extinguish the accounts receivable portion. Upon recovery of the write-off, we cannot reinstate the receivable since it was already extinguished but we need to recognize the recovery as a gain.

Mercer, Inc. provides the following data for 2019:
Net Sales Revenue 598000
Cost of Goods Sold 350000
The gross profit as a percentage of net sales is ________. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 0.4147 or 41.47%
Explanation:
The gross profit is a profit earned by a business through its trading activity. It is calculated by deducting the cost of goods sold from the net sales revenue and it is the profit earned by a business before deducting any operating and non operating expenses of the business.
Gross profit = Net Sales - Cost of goods sold
Gross Profit = 598000 - 350000 = $248000
The gross profit as a percentage of net sales is,
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = Gross profit / Net Sales
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 248000 / 598000
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 0.4147 or 41.47%
Answer:
C. Borrowing $43 at the risk-free rate and investing the total amount ($143) in the risky asset.
Explanation:
Outcome Return For $100 = (115 - 100)/100 = 15%;
0.15 = w1(0.12) + (1 - w1)(0.05)
0.15 = 0.12w1 + 0.05 - 0.05w1
0.10 = 0.07w1
w1 = 1.43($100)
w1 = $143;
(1 - w1)$100 = $100 - $143
(1 - w1)$100 = -$43
