Kingbird, Inc. uses the percentage-of-receivables basis to record bad debt expense and concludes that 3% of accounts receivable

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

(a) The adjusting journal entry to record bad debt expense for the year:

Debit Bad debt expense $5,640

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $5,640

(To record bad debt expense)

(b) If the allowance for doubtful accounts had a debit balance of $870 instead of a credit balance of $2,950, The appropriate journal entries are:

Debit Bad debt expense $9,460

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $9,460

(To record bad debt expense)

Explanation:

To arrive at the bad debt expense for Kingbird, Inc., we simply need to calculate 3% of accounts receivable, as follows:

2% of $429,500 = $8,590

Since the allowance for doubtful accounts has a credit balance of $2,950, the bad debt expense will be: $8,590 - $2,950 = $5,640. The appropriate journal entries are as provided above.

However, if the allowance for doubtful accounts had a debit balance of $870 instead of a credit balance of $2,950, the bad debt expense will be: $8,590 + $870 = $9,460. The addition is necessary in order to reinstate the allowance account to $8,590. The appropriate journal entries are as provided above.

A company's weekly payroll amounts to $50,000 and payday for the week is every friday. employees work five days per week, monday

salantis [7]

The total payroll amount is $50,000 per week.

Since there are only 5 work days per week (Monday to Friday), therefore the employees wage per day is:

Employees wage per day = $50,000 / 5 = $10,000

For the payday on April 4, the wages expense covered for this would be from April 1 to April 4 since the accounting period ended on March 31. Therefore wages expense in the journal entry would be calculated using 4 days.

Wages expense for April for the payday April 4 = Employees wage per day * Number of days

Wages expense for April for the payday April 4 = $10,000 * 4

Wages expense for April for the payday April 4 = $40,000

How physical assets valuation and development and research pose risk.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

The differences between US GAAP and IFRS pose an extra cost because international corporations must prepare two separate accounting statements. But besides that, other potential risks include paying higher taxes than what the companies should pay int their home countries and the uncertainty generated by changing rules.

Not only do current tax rates affect potential investments, e.g. currently companies in the US pay relatively low corporate taxes (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017) but these benefits end on 2025. But also different methods for valuating physical assets and R&D costs can represent higher than expected taxes. E.g. depending on a company's needs, it may be beneficial to expense all R&D costs right away, or maybe it would be better to capitalize some of them after technical feasibility is achieved (IFRS).

The main advantage of having uniform rules (e.g. UCC) is that all the companies know exactly what to expect and how to act. Certainty decreases risk, and less risk reduces costs.

Explanation:

In the US, the vast majority of firms use US GAAP as their accounting method, but around the world the IFRS method is used.

Physical asset valuation is the process of determining the value of your physical assets including P, P & E, and also inventories.

When valuing inventories IFRS uses FIFO, while US GAAP allows FIFO, LIFO or weighted average costing methods. US GAAP also values inventory at lesser of cost or market value, while IFRS values inventory at lesser of cost or net realizable value.
US GAAP uses the cost method to determine the historic cost of an asset, while IFRS uses basically the same method but does not include all the costs of location of the assets (e.g. cost of removing or clearing a facility).
US GAAP recognizes non-monetary exchanges while IFRS doesn't.
IFRS also allows the cost of asset to be revalued, which can result in unrealized gains or losses. The US GAAP only considers historic costs.
There are also other minor differences regarding depreciation, disposals and impairment rules.

Research and development must be expensed right away under US GAAP, while IFRS basically requires the same, it allows some capitalization of development expenditures if certain criteria is met (technical feasibility is achieved).

Meat Puppets Company purchased equipment for $7,200 on December 1. It is estimated that annual depreciation on the equipment wil

Akimi4 [234]

Answer: Debit Depreciation Expense, $150; Credit Accumulated Depreciation, $150

Explanation:

Depreciation is the decrease in fixed assets for use. At the end of each year the amount corresponding to the use of the assets is carried to accounting expenses, crediting the accumulated depreciation as a counterpart.

In this case it is only one month of depreciation, therefore if we know that annually the asset is going to depreciate US $ 1800, between twelve months it would be US $ 150, which would be due to expenses and credited to accumulated depreciation.
