Answer:

Net Realizable Value of Accounts receivable $ 1,594,210

Explanation:

Dr Accounts receivable $ 1,776,700

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 127,430

Net Realizable Value of Accounts receivable $ 1,594,210

Amounts estimated to be uncollectible $ 182,490  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 55,060

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 55,060

FINAL BALANCE  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 182,490

The final net realizable value it's defined as the total gross value of accounts receivable minus the final value estimated as uncollectible.

If the company applies the allowance method, it means that the account Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts must show as balance the % of estimated value.

Because the company already has a CREDIT balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts it's necessary to register an entry that complement the existing value and reflect the value estimated as bad debts.

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.

Which of the following is an organizational factor that increases illegitimate political behavior?
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

B) high trust zero-sum reward practice

Explanation:

Zero sum reward practices are generally not that successful since usually only a few are benefited while several people are left out of the benefits, or lose. If someone gains a benefit at the expense of others, it will always cause friction within the organization. That friction can lead to illegitimate political behavior, which is behavior that breaks implied rules. The regular "losers" in zero sum reward practices may be tempted to break the rules or cheat in order to obtain the benefits.

For example, if the same person is always selected as the employee of the month, his/her "losing" coworkers may start to sabotage his/her work.

Under absorption costing a company had the following per unit costs when 10,000 units were produced. Direct labor $ 2 Direct mat
Rudiy27

Answer: Total product cost per unit if 12,500 units = $13.

Explanation:

Given that,

Direct labor = $2

Direct material = $3

Variable overhead = $4

Total variable cost = $9

Fixed overhead ($50,000/10,000 units) = $5

Total product cost per unit = $14

Fixed Overhead at 12500 units = \frac{50000}{12500} = $4

∴  Total product cost per unit if 12,500 units = Total variable cost per unit + Fixed Overhead at 12500 units

= 9 + 4

= $13
