Answer:

The required journals are:

Debit Bad debt expense                                          $10,070

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts                 $10,070

<em>(To record bad debt for the year)</em>

Explanation:

To understand the effects of the transactions, we need to journalize as follows:

Debit Accounts receivable                                    $454,000

Credit Sales revenue                                             $454,000

<em>(To record sales transaction on account)</em>

Debit Cash                                                             $325,000

Credit Accounts receivable                                  $325,000

<em>(To record collections on account)</em>

Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts                   $5,600

Credit Accounts receivable                                     $5,600

<em>(To record write-off of accounts receivable)</em>

With the above journals, the balance in accounts receivable will be: $20,000 + $454,000 - $325,000 - $5,600 = $143,400. The 5% of $143,400 will be $7,170.

The effect of the write-off was to throw the unadjusted allowance for doubtful account into debit as $2,700 - $5,600 = $2,900. The required bad debt expense will $10,070 ($7,170 + $2,900).

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

$600 million

Explanation:

On January 1, 2020, the balance of common stock & APIC

Common stock & APIC = Paid-In Capital + Share Capital raised by issuing 50 million shares at $20 per share - Treasury Stock

Here

Paid-In Capital is $500 millions

Issue of 50 million shares at $20

Treasury Stock is 20 million shares at $45 per share

By putting the values, we have:

Common stock & APIC = $500 million + $1000 million - (20 million shares * $45 per share)

Common stock & APIC = $1500 millions - $900 million = $600 million

A company issued a 20-year, $1,000 par value bond that pays semiannual interest of $40. If the semiannual market rate of interes
Kitty [74]

Answer: $828

Explanation:

Given the following :

Semi-annual payment = $40

Period = 20 years

Number of payments = (20 * 2)(semiannual) = 40 payments

Par value = $1000

Interest rate = 5%

Using the PV table:

PV at $1 (40, 5%) = 0.1420

PVA at $1 (40, 5%) = 17.159

[Par value * PV at $1 (40, 5%)] + [$40 * PVA at $1 (40, 5%)]

= ($1000 * 0.1420) + ($40 * 17.159)

= $142 + $686.36

=$828.36

= $826

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

335.43 million gallons

Explanation:

price elasticity of demand (PED) = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price

PED = -1.9% / 10% = -0.19, very inelastic

expected price increase $0.40

% change in price = ($3.45 - $3.05) / $3.05 = 13.11%

% change in quantity demanded:

-0.19 = D / 13.11%

D = 2.49%

quantity demanded will decrease by 2.49%, from 344 million gallons to 335.43 million gallons
