Answer:

Feb 28.

  • Uncollectible accounts expense would amount to 1% of net credit sales made during February.  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 27,860

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 27,860

  • On March 10, an accounts receivable from Kathy Black for $6,100 was determined to be uncollectible and written off.  

Dr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 6,100

Cr Accounts receivable $ 6,100

  • March 31, Black received an inheritance and immediately paid her past due account in full.  

Dr Accounts receivable $ 6,100

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 6,100

 

Dr CASH $ 6,100

Cr Accounts receivable $ 6,100

Explanation:

February 28  

Dr Accounts receivable $ 437.000

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 2.140

Net Credit Sales February $ 3.000.000

 

Uncollectible accounts expense would amount to 1% of net credit sales made during February.  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 27.860

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 27.860

On March 10, an accounts receivable from Kathy Black for $6,100 was determined to be uncollectible and written off.  

Dr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 6.100

Cr Accounts receivable $ 6.100

March 31, Black received an inheritance and immediately paid her past due account in full.  

Dr Accounts receivable $ 6.100

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 6.100

 

Dr CASH $ 6.100

Cr Accounts receivable $ 6.100

 

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

 

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.

stepladder [879]

Answer:

Calculating the cost of each activity,

Unloading = $ 80,100

Counting = $ 37,500

Inspecting = $54,450

Explanation:

Given:

Unloading lease = $15,000 per year

Fuel for the forklift = $3,600 per year

Maintenance for the forklift = $1,500 per year

Inspection uses some special testing equipment that has depreciation of $1,200 per year

Operating cost = $750.

Receiving employees average salary = $50,000 per year

Salaries; 3 × 50,000 = 150,000

Unloading salary = 40%  × 150,000 = 60,000

Counting salary = 25%  × 150,000 = 37,500

Inspecting salary = 35% × 150,000 = 52,500

                              Unloading                 Counting                    Inspection

Equipment               15,000                                                             1,200

Fuel                           3,600

Operation cost          1,500                                                                750

Labor                       60,000                   37,500                          52,500

Total cost                 80,100                   37,500                          54,450
