The passage suggests that the high inflation in the United States and many European countries in the 1980's differed from inflat

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

E) It would not necessarily be considered high elsewhere.

Explanation:

The US inflation rate during 1979 was 11.26%, during 1980 it was 13.55%, and during 1981 it was 10.33%. These numbers may seem very high for American standards, but they aren't really high once you compare them to other nation's inflation rate.

For example, if we look at what is happening in two South American countries right now; Currently Venezuela is facing a hyperinflation measured by millions, and Argentina's current inflation rate is around 60%.

Back in the 1980s, hyperinflation rates were much more common. Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Nicaragua, all suffered from hyperinflation (inflation rates in the 1,000s).

The US dollar is considered a very stable currency, that is why an inflation rate of around 10% was considered extremely high for American standards, but not so high compared to the rest of the world.

Accounts receivable from sales to customers amounted to $40,000 and $32,000 at the beginning and end of the year, respectively.

natima [27]

Answer:

a. $118,000

Explanation:

When preparing a cash flow statement, using indirect method we add decrease in current assets and we deduct increase in current assets.

Here it is provided that income reported = $110,000

Opening balance of accounts receivables = $40,000

Closing balance of accounts Receivables = $32,000

Change in Accounts receivables = Closing - Opening = $32,000 - $40,000 = - $8,000

Therefore there is decrease in accounts receivables which is a current asset.

Thus Cash Flow from operating activities

Net Income = $110,000

Add: Decrease in current assets = $8,000

Net cash flow from operating activity = $118,000

Correct option is

a. $118,000

On January 1, 2011 Grace Company had an $13,000 balance in the Accounts Receivable account and a zero balance in the Allowance f

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The amount of uncollectible accounts expense recognized on the 2011 income statement is:

$6,600.

Explanation:

As the amount of uncollectible accounts are expressed as percentage of the total sales, then the amount is $6,600

Initial Balance

Dr Accounts Receivable $ 13.000

During 2011, Grace provided $55,000 of service on account

Dr Accounts Receivable $ 55.000

Cr SALES $ 55.000

The company collected $48,100 cash from account receivable.

Dr CASH $ 48.100

Cr Accounts Receivable $ 48.100

Uncollectible accounts are estimated to be 12% of sales on account

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 6.600

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 6.600

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.

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.

3. What is the amount of the year-end refund liability after the adjusting entry is recorded?

= $623,700

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Refund liability (beginning balance) = $360,000

Sales = $12,100,000

Cost of merchandise = $8,470,000 (70% * $12,100,000)

Actual returns during the year = $594,000

Returns for prior years = 328,000

Returns for current year = 266,000

Estimated sales returns allowance = 5% for year-end adjusting entry.

Refund liability (beginning balance) = $360,000
