Answer:
(a) What was the total of accounts written off during the first 11 months?
bad debts written for the first 11 months = allowance for bad debt accounts January 1 balance + bad debt expense - allowance for bad debt accounts November 30 balance = $13,085 + $21,937 - $9,919 = $25,103
(b) As the result of a comprehensive analysis, it is determined that the December 31, 2010, balance of the Allowance for Bad Debts account should be $9,450. Show the adjustment required in the journal entry format.Allowance for bad debt Debit $Bad debt expenses Credit $
to determine the amount of bad debt expense that must be adjusted, we must subtract the estimated balance in December 31 from the balance in November 30 = $9,919 - $9,450 = $469. Since the November 30 amount is larger, it means that we over estimated our bad debt expense and it must be reduced:
Dr Allowance for doubtful accounts 469
Cr Accounts receivable 469
Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $77 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production:
Product A: 1,850 units
Product B: 1,250
Hours required:
Product A: requires 0.3 direct labor-hours per unit
Product B: requires 0.6 direct labor-hours per unit.
The total estimated overhead for the next period is $100,485.
First, we need to calculate the total amount of direct labor hours required:
Total direct labor hours= 0.3*1,850 + 0.6*1,250= 1,305 hour
To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 100,485/1,305= $77 per direct labor hour
