Answer:

What journal entry did Pincus record to write off uncollectible accounts during 2021

Dr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 6,300

Cr Accounts receivable $ 6,300

What journal entry did Pincus record to recognize bad debt expense for 2021?

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 8,040

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 8,040

Explanation:

Pincus provided a total of $156,000 of services on account.  

Dr Accounts receivable $ 156,000

Cr Sales $ 156,000

In 2021, the company wrote off uncollectible accounts of $6,300  

Dr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 6,300

Cr Accounts receivable $ 6,300

By the end of 2021, cash collections on accounts receivable totaled $132,300.  

Dr Cash $ 132,300

Cr Accounts receivable $ 132,300

Balances on Accounts 31.12.2012 before adjustment  

Accounts receivable CREDIT $ 17,400

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts DEBIT $ 6,300

Pincus estimates that 10% of the accounts receivable balance at 12/31/2021 will prove uncollectible.  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 8,040

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 8,040

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 DEBIT balance ($6,300) in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  it's necessary to register an entry that COMPLEMENT ($8,040) the existing value and reflect the value estimated as bad debts ($1,740).

Bad Debt Expense = $8,040 - $6,300 = $1,740

It's necessary to reflect $1,740 in the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts as Credit, so we need an entry of $8,040.

Answer:

groupthink

Kokomochi is considering the launch of an advertising campaign for its latest dessert​ product, the Mini Mochi Munch. Kokomochi
Alla [95]

Answer:

Check Explanation.

Explanation:

Note that the amount are in millions(dollar).

Year one: the sales of Mini Mochi Munch = $ 8.8 million = 8.8, sales of other products = $ 1.7 million. Hence, the gross profit = (8.8 × 38%) + (8.8 × 23%) = 5.368.

The selling, general and administrative expenses = 4.9 and the depreciation is zero.

Then, the EBIT = the gross profit -selling, general and administrative expenses - Depreciation.

EBIT = 5.368 - 4.9 - 0 = 0.468.

Less income tax at 38% = 0.17784.

incremental earnings= EBIT - Less income tax at 38%.

incremental earnings = 0.468 - 0.17784.

Year two: the sales of Mini Mochi Munch = $ 6.8 million = 6.8, sales of other products = $ 1.7 million. Hence, the gross profit = (6.8 × 38%) + (6.8 × 23%) = 4.148.

The selling, general and administrative expenses = 0, and the depreciation is zero(0).

Then, the EBIT = the gross profit -selling, general and administrative expenses - Depreciation.

EBIT = 4.148 - 4.9 - 0 = −0.752.

Less income tax at 38% = −0.28576.

incremental earnings= EBIT - Less income tax at 38%.

incremental earnings = −0.752 - −0.28576 = −1.03776.

Weber believed that:
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. property could bring prestige, and prestige could bring property.

Explanation:

The textual definition of Weber is the following: "The set of probabilities is inherited property appropriated by an individual or a community or a society; being free property in the event that it is disposable" (Weber, 1922: 36) .

The "stratum" is the conglomerate of individuals who occupy a similar position in the hierarchy of prestige of a society. These men have a very weak and relative community of culture and gender of life and can hardly become the support of a common conscience and action. The "class" is instead a totality, a group, which is characterized above all by conscience, will and action (organization, party)
