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).

The following data pertains to activity and maintenance costs for two recent years:
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Y= 6000 + 0.75X

Explanation:

High and low cost technique

Using the a high and low technique, total cost can be analysed and separated into fixed and variable portion. This analysis helps in the forecast of cost and therefore important for the preparation of budget.

<em>Variable cost of maintenance</em>

= (Cost at high activity - Cost at low activity)/ (high activity - low activity)

VC per act. = ( $15000 - $12000)/(12,000-8000)

                   = $0.75 per activity

<em>Fixed cost of maintenance</em>

= Total cost at high activity - (VC per act × high activity)

=  $15,000 - ( $0.75 ×  12,000)

=   $6,000

The cost formula will be:

Y= 6000 + 0.75X

Where Y = maintenance cost, X= level of activity

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Cash shorting = 36,010 - 36,006 = $4

DR Cash                                                                  $36,006

     Cash Short and Over                                        $         4

     CR Sales                                                                            $36,010

There is a shortage of cash as the sales figure is more than the cash amount. The Cash Short and Over account will therefore be debited to reflect this expense.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

What do we understand by disparate-treatment discrimination?

It simply refers to an act of unequal behavior towards someone because of some existing prejudices in the mind of those that commit the act. These prejudices could include false believes about the person coming in. For example a stereotype about being Asian or probably, one about being a female. So what this means is that this act is committed when an unequal behavior is shown to a person because of some characteristics possessed by the person for example gender-based or demographic considerations.

Important to note is that this act is illegal. Since it is illegal, a person feeling he had been a victim could get a court to preside over his/her issues with the said person
