Answer: $15,500

Explanation:

First we calculate the estimated Uncollecteble debt,

= 6% of 310,000

= 0.06 (310,000)

= $18,600

We will then subtract the existing $3,100 to find out how much we will send to the Bad Debt Expense account because the amount already in the account needs to be included in the $18,600.

= 18,600 - 3,100

= $15,500

We will therefore Debit the Bad Debt Expense account with $15,500 and Credit the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts with the same amount.

If you need any clarification do react or comment.

Answer and explanation:

As their name describes, <em>nonprofit entities</em> are organizations whose main plan is not to have revenues out of their operations. They usually provide social services to different sectors of the population and can handle their operations mainly thanks to charity and donations. While making their budgets, these organizations cannot estimate their revenues since they cannot take donations for granted. Instead, they estimate their expenses since they will be incurred for sure.

Every worker sees a social security (fica) tax taken out of his or her paycheck. the nominal tax rate on workers is 7.65 percent
denpristay [2]
Part A:

Because, there is a ceiling on the amount of earnings that is taxable. Any earning below the ceiling will be taxed at 7.65% of the earning while any earning above the eiling will be taxed at 7.65% of the ceiling.

Given that the ceiling on the amount that is taxable is $117,000. If a worker earns $40,000, then the worker's FICA tax will be 7.65% of $40,000 = 0.0765 x $40,000 = $3,060

Therefore, the percentage of income that is paid in social security taxes by a worker in 2014 earning $40,000 is 7.65%



Part B:

Because, there is a ceiling on the amount of earnings that is taxable. Any earning below the ceiling will be taxed at 7.65% of the earning while any earning above the eiling will be taxed at 7.65% of the ceiling.

Given that the ceiling on the amount that is taxable is $117,000. If a worker earns $80,000, then the worker's FICA tax will be 7.65% of $80,000 = 0.0765 x $80,000 = $6,120

Therefore, the <span>percentage of income that is paid in social security taxes by a worker in 2014 earning</span> $80,000 is 7.65%


Part C:

Because, there is a ceiling on the amount of earnings that is taxable. Any earning below the ceiling will be taxed at 7.65% of the earning while any earning above the eiling will be taxed at 7.65% of the ceiling.

Given that the ceiling on the amount that is taxable is $117,000. If a worker earns $200,000, then the worker's FICA tax will be 7.65% of $117,000 = 0.0765 x $117,000 = $8,950.50

Therefore, the percentage of income that is paid in social security taxes by a worker in 2014 earning $200,000 is given by

\frac{8950.5}{200000} \times100\%=4.48\%
