Answer:

The bad debt expense for year 2020 amounts to -$42,600

Explanation:

The bad debt expense for year 2020 is computed as:

Bad debt expense = Beginning balance of  Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Accounts Written off + Bad debt recoveries - Ending balance of uncollectible

where

Beginning balance of  Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is $60,000

Accounts Written off is $43,200

Bad debt recoveries is $12,600

Computing Ending balance of uncollectible as:

Ending balance of uncollectible = 5% of Accounts receivable

Ending balance of uncollectible = 5% × $1,440,000

Ending balance of uncollectible = $72,000

So, putting the values above:

Bad debt expense = $60,000 - $43,200 + $12,600 - $72,000

Bad debt expense = -$42,600

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

$24,160 favorable

Explanation:

The computation of the total contribution margin sales volume variance is given below:

The Budgeted contribution margin per pound of MT is

= $40 - $20

= $20 per pound

Now the budgeted contribution margin per pound of ET is

= $60 - $30

= $24  per pound

MT's contribution margin sales volume variance is

= (Actual sales quantity - Budgeted sales quantity) × Budgeted contribution margin per pound

= (3960 - 4000) × $20

= $800 Unfavorable

ET's contribution margin sales volume variance is

= (Actual sales quantity - Budgeted sales quantity) × Budgeted contribution margin per pound

= (5,040 - 4000) × $24

= $24,960 favorable

Now the total contribution margin sales volume is

= $800 unfavorable + $24,960 favorable

= $24,160 favorable
