Answer:

The best way to find terms of trade that will ensure that two entities are in the best terms of trade will be to look at the opportunity costs of the various products they produce.

A high opportunity cost in one product relative to that of the other entity means the entity with the higher opportunity cost should be trading with the entity with the lower opportunity cost and vice versa.

For example, assume that an entity "A" produces both rice and beans whilst an entity "B" also produces rice and beans too.

If the opportunity cost to A of producing Beans is 300 bags of rice whilst the opportunity cost to B of producing Beans is 120 bags of rice, and the opportunity cost to A of producing rice is 180 bags of beans whilst it is 250 bags of beans to B, the principles of comparative advantage require that A should focus more on producing rice and purchase beans from B whilst B should focus more on producing beans and purchase rice from A.

Cheers!

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 5.440

Explanation:

  • Initial Balance

Dr Accounts Receivable  $ 178.000  

Cr Sales  $ 178.000

Dr Cash $ 173.000

  • 4. In 2022, customers’ accounts totaling $6,800 are written off as uncollectible. Under the Direct Write-Off Method

  • 3. Calculate bad debt expense for 2022 under the allowance method  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 5.440  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 5.440

  • FINAL Balance 2022  

Dr Accounts Receivable  $ 23.000  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 4.600

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.

Answer:

Retained Earnings is $175,000

Goodwill is $25,000

b. See the journal entries in the explanation below.

Retained Earnings is $175,000

Capital Reserve is $4,000

Explanation:

Note: There are mistakes the names of the companies in the requirements a anb b. These correctly restated before answering the question by as follows:

a. Prepare the following consolidation entries required to prepare a consolidated balance sheet immediately after the business combination assuming Power acquired its ownership of Scrub for $291,000. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

1. Record the basic consolidation entry

2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)

b. Prepare the following consolidation entries required to prepare a consolidated balance sheet immediately after the business combination assuming Power acquired its ownership of Scrub for $262,000. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

1. Record the basic consolidation entry.

2. Record the excess value (differential) reclassification entry.

<u>The answers and explanation are therefore given as follows:</u>

a. Prepare the following consolidation entries required when Consideration is $291,000

1. Record the basic consolidation entry

<u>Accounts                                              Dr ($)              Cr ($)              </u>

Common Stock                                   91,000

Retained Earnings (w.1)                    175,000

Goodwill (w.2)                                    25,000  

     Investment in Scrub Company                           291,000

<u><em>(To record the elimination of investment and stockholder equity.)   </em></u>

2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)

Note that $25,000 is transferred to Goodwill account in part 1 above.

The $25,000 is transferred to Goodwill because when the consideration is greater than the net asset value which is calculated as the of Common Stock and Retained Earnings, the difference is the Goodwill.

When Net Consideration is more than the net asset value (Stockholder Equity), then the difference is to be transferred to Goodwill.

b. Prepare the following consolidation entries required when Consideration is $262,000

1. Record the basic consolidation entry

<u>Accounts                                              Dr ($)              Cr ($)              </u>

Common Stock                                   91,000

     Capital reserve (w.4)                                                4,000

<u><em>(To record the elimination of investment and stockholder equity.)   </em></u>

2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)

Note that $4,000 is transferred to Capital Reserve in part 1 above.

The $4,000 is transferred to Capital Rserve because when the consideration is less than the net asset value which is calculated as the of Common Stock and Retained Earnings, the difference is Capital Reserve.

When Net Consideration is less than the net asset value (Stockholder Equity), then the difference is to be transferred to Capital reserve.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Answer:

$420 of revenue, $840 of deferred revenue

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Paid amount = $1,260

Given months = 6 months

Number of months = 2 months

For two months, the revenue is

= Paid amount × number of months ÷ given months

= $1,260 × 2 months ÷ 6 months

= $420

Now the deferred revenue is

= Paid amount - revenue

= $1,260 - $420

= $840

Hence, the revenue is $420 and the deferred revenue is $840
