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.

During March, Adams Company had sales of $5,000,000, variable expenses of $3,000,000, and fixed expenses of $1,500,000. Assume t
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Variable cost as a percent of sales:  

= (Variable expenses ÷ Sales) × 100

= ($3,000,000 ÷ $5,000,000) × 100  

= 60%

If Sales = X

then Variable cost is 0.6X (i.e. 60% of Sales)

Sales - Variable cost - fixed expenses = net operating income

X - 0.6X - 1,500,000 = 300,000

0.4X = 300000 + 1500000 = 1800000

X = 1800000 ÷ 0.4

  = 4,500,000
