Answer:

Debit : Bad Debts = $16,370

Credit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $16,370

Explanation:

The question states that bad debts are expected to be 5% of the accounts receivables. This means that it is: $327,400 x 5% = $16,370.

An account for allowance for doubtful debts is a contra account created, predicting that certain debtors will not be able to pay for the goods and services they purchased. The 5% may be based on historical experiences. Doubtful debts aren’t officially uncollectible, it is simply a prediction, but bad debts are, where you have officially written off a certain accounts receivable as uncollectible.

An allowance for doubtful debts is recorded in the balance sheet, directly under accounts receivables. Bad debts are recorded as an expense in the income statement.

The initial entry for allowance for doubtful debts is incorrect, hence it would have to be corrected before the new amount can be recorded. Correction:

Debit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $7900

Credit : Bad debts = $7900

The accounts will be cancelled off and the new entry can be recorded...

Debit : Bad Debts = $16,370

Credit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $16,370

When the amount is officially declared uncollectible, the allowance for doubtful debts account will be debited and the accounts receivables account will be credited.

Suppose in the short run a firm’s production function is given by Q = L 1 2 K 1 2 and that K is fixed at K = 10. If the price of

Furkat [3]

The firm’s marginal cost of production when the firm is producing 50 units of output is 33.33

Solution:

The production function is Q = $\sqrt{L * K}$

The initial value is 10 units. The production value is 50 units The manufacturing cycle needs work as stated below.

Q = $\sqrt{L * K}$

Q = $\sqrt{L * 10}$

L = $(\frac{Q}{3.162} )^{2}$

The wage rate is $15 . The following is the expense of the manufacturing process.

TC = $P_{L} * L + P_{K} * K$

TC = $( 15 * (\frac{Q}{3.162} )^{2} ) + [ P_{k * 10}]$

The marginal production cost is really the increase in manufacturing costs as output increases by 1 point.

As listed below, the marginal cost:

TC = $( 15 * (\frac{Q}{3.162} )^{2} ) + [ P_{k * 10}]$

MC = $\frac{TC}{Q}$ = $\frac{2Q}{3}$

MC = $\frac{2*50}{3}$ = 33.33

The Ramapo Company produces two products, Blinks and Dinks. They are manufactured in two departments, Fabrication and Assembly.

Bond [772]

Answer:

$60 per unit

Explanation:

Total overheads:

= Overheads of fabrication department + Overheads of assembly department

= $90,500 + $109,700

= $200,200

Total labor hours:

= Blinks + Dinks

= (1,013 × 4) + (1,859 × 5)

= 4,052 + 9,295

= 13,347

Overhead rate per hour = Total overheads ÷ Total labor hours

= $200,200 ÷ 13,347

= $15 per hour

Total overhead cost for blinks:

= Total hours for blinks × rate per hour

= 4,052 × $15 per hour

= $60,780

Overhead cost per unit for Blinks:

= Total overhead cost for blinks ÷ Total units

= $60,780 ÷ 1,013

= $60 per unit

Less cost of goods sold

Opening inventory

Add variable cost of goods manufactured

[3,700 × ($51 + $32 + $6 = $89)] = $329,300

Fixed manufacturing cost

$88,800

Cost of goods available for sale

$418,100

Less ending inventory 440 × $89

$39,160

Cost of goods sold

$378,940

Gross margin

$155,700

Less variable selling and administration expenses $6 × 3,260
