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.

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Option C. Debit Cash and credit Stock Investments

Explanation:

The reason is that in the equity method of recording the dividends receipts, it is always deducted from the stock investment and the relevant share of reported net income of the associate is added to the stock investment.

So mathematically,

Stock Investment Under Equity Method = Opening Value for the year + Share of Net Income - Dividend received

Stock Investment Under Equity Method = $300,000 + $160,000 * 25% + $60,000 * 25% = $325,000

The above treatment shows that the recording of dividends include credit to stock investment and the cash receipt is always debited.

So the double entry would be:

Dr Cash $15,000

Cr Dividends $15,000

So the option C is correct.
