Answer:

$11,500

Explanation:

Given

Sales = $600,000

And uncollectible accounts expense is estimated at 2% of sales

Therefore,

uncollectible accounts expense = 2% × $600,000

                                                      = $12,000

Since allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance of $500 at the end of the year (before adjustment), the account has to be adjusted by

= $12,000 - $500

= $11,500

The amount of the adjusting entry to record the provision for doubtful accounts is $11,500.

July 19

Cash                            $792

Discount expense      $8

Account Receivable              $800

Explanation:

The term 1/15, n/30 mean there is a discount of 1% is available on the sales value, if payment is made within 15 days of sale with credit term of 30 days.

The sale of $900 was made on July 10 and discount period is until July 25.

On July 12 goods amounting $100 was returned and now the amount due from the customer is $800 ( $900 - $100 ).

The payment made on July 19 is actually in the discount period and it is eligible for the discount as it is made before July 25.

Discount = Amount due x Discount rate

Discount = $800 x 1% = $8

$792 Cash received against the sale made on July 10 and discount $8 is expensed. Total of $800 is credited from the account receivable account to eliminate it.

How did the conflicts between labor unions and business capital evolve during the gilded age? be sure to address strikes, the ev
slavikrds [6]
The industry's progress was confronted with a tough attitude of trade unions which had taken strength after the war.
The strategy adopted was the struggle for wage increases and the conservation of a monopoly power, which in many cases affected the introduction of technical improvements.
At that time, international sectoral trade unions and multinational corporations negotiate international framework agreements that allowed for Labour advancement.
It should also be noted that from the creation of the International Workers Association (IWA), the First World Trade union centre of the working class, the right to strike is recognised as one of the fundamental rights of the individual.Since then, representatives of workers from different countries jointly deal with the social problems that concerned them.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Total dividend paid = $340,000

Preferred dividend = 7% x $4 x 150,000 x 3 years = $126,000

Dividend paid to common stock holders

= $340,000 - $126,000

= $214,000

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

There is need to calculate the preferred dividend for 3 years, which is a function of dividend rate, current market price, number of preferred stocks outstanding  and number of years. The current market price of the preferred stock is used for the computation because the preferred stock has no par value. Then, the amount of dividend paid to common stock holders is the difference between the total dividend paid and preferred dividend.
