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.

lara [203]

Answer:

B. Cost of goods sold will be too low by $5,000.

Suppose you have a health insurance policy with an annual premium of​ $4800, an annual deductible of​ $1000, and copayments of​
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Total cost for the year=$5,800

Explanation:

Finding the total cost of healthcare for a year, we can express this in the form;

Total cost for the year=Annual premium cost+annual deductible+Co-payments

since there were no visits to the doctors office for that year, the co-payments that are to be made per visit=0

Annual premium cost=$4800

Annual deductible cost=$1000

replacing in the expression for total cost;

Total cost for the year=Annual premium cost+annual deductible+Co-payments

Total cost for the year=(4,800+1,000+0)=5,800

Total cost for the year=$5,800
