At the beginning of 2021, Brad’s Heating & Air (BHA) has a balance of $24,800 in accounts receivable. Because BHA is a priva

tely owned company, the company has used only the direct write-off method to account for uncollectible accounts. However, at the end of 2021, BHA wishes to obtain a loan at the local bank, which requires the preparation of proper financial statements. This means that BHA now will need to use the allowance method. The following transactions occur during 2021 and 2022. 1. During 2021, install air conditioning systems on account, $178,000. 2. During 2021, collect $173,000 from customers on account. 3. At the end of 2021, estimate that uncollectible accounts total 20% of ending accounts receivable. 4. In 2022, customers’ accounts totaling $6,800 are written off as uncollectible. 3. Calculate bad debt expense for 2021 and 2022 under the allowance method and under the direct write-off method, prior to any adjusting entries. (Leave no cells blank.)

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.

List 10 effective methods used to maintain employment. 
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

I don’t know that I would call them methods - a better word might be behaviors. And I don’t know if I can come up with ten.

  • Never be late for work and never leave early to go home. If you must leave early (or you know you’ll be coming in late the next day) be sure to tell your boss first.
  • Dress appropriately and respectfully for the job. Always start the day wearing clean clothes.
  • Be respectful of your boss
  • Do every assignment to the best of your ability. When you are finished, let your boss know and ask what you can do next rather than waiting to be told (unless you know what to do next).
  • Don’t whine or complain about the work assigned to you
  • Try to constantly learn more about your job and apply what you learn to do your job better
  • Don’t badmouth your fellow employees (unless specifically asked by your boss)
  • When it doesn’t severely impact your work, try to help out your fellow employees if they need it - especially the newer ones
  • Keep your work area organized
  • Don’t be afraid to make constructive, non-critical suggestions to your fellow employees or even your boss, but be sure the suggestions are well-researched and carefully thought out

The following facts relate to Coronado Corporation.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Prepare the journal entry to record income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income taxes payable for 2020.

Debit Income Tax Expense $40400

Debit Defered Tax Asset $7070

Credit Income Tax Payable $19190

Credit Defered tax liability $28280

(To record income tax expense and defered tax/liability).

Note that:

Income Tax Expense was gotten as:

= $202,000 × 20%

= $202000 × 0.2

= $40,4000

Income Tax Payable was gotten as:

= $95,950 × 20%

= $95950 × 0.2

= $19,190

2. Prepare the income tax expense section of the income statement for 2020.

Income statement for year ended 31 December 2020

Income before tax = $202000

Less: Income Tax expense - Current = $19190

Less: Income Tax expense - Defered = $21210

Net income = $161600
