Answer:

The Blowing's sand net income will increase by $45,000 by saving of direct fixed costs.

Explanation:

Fixed costs are costs which remains unchanged irrespective of the level of activity produced by Blowing Sand's, means the Blowing Sand's will have to bear that cost whether it eliminate the Drafty product line or not. example factory rent, building depreciation etc.

Direct Fixed costs are those which only incurred when the units are produced so that will only incur costs when production is made.

So the elimination of Drafty product line will save $45,000 of direct fixed costs and the remaining $78,000 will be redistributed to other remaining product lines which will not impact the net income.

Answer:

D) increase at a faster rate than the costs associated with those sales.

Explanation:

If the break even point was reached during the 20th day of the month, then any revenue generated during the remaining 10-11 days will increase net profits. The amount of net profit increase will be determined by the contribution margin of each service provided. The contribution margin = net sales - variable costs. Since the fixed costs have already been covered, the contribution margin will be equal to the net profit.

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.

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.
