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).

Brown Street Grocers has a cost of equity of 11.8 percent, a pre-tax cost of debt of 6.9 percent, and a tax rate of 35 percent.
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is option E) 9.06% .

Explanation:

Here the cost of equity given is  - 11.8%

Pre tax cost of debt- 6.9%

Tax rate- 35%

So the after tax cost of debt - 6.9% x 65%

= 4.485%

The debt to equity ratio - .6

So the weight of debt - .6 / ( 1 + .06 )

= .375

Weight of equity - 1 / ( 1 + .06 )

= .625

Weighted average cost of capital =

Debts cost x weight of debt + Equity cost x weight of equity

= 4.485 x .375 + 11.8 x .625

= 1.681875 + 7.735

= 9.06%
