Answer:

Bad Debt Expense = $652

Explanation:

Ending balance [Un-adjusted) = Beginning balance + Credit sales - Cash collected  - Written off

Ending balance [Un-adjusted) = $40,000 + $80,000 - $78,200 - $500

Ending balance [Un-adjusted) = $41,300

Allowance For Doubtful Accounts = Beginning balance - Written off

Allowance For Doubtful Accounts = $1,500 - $500

Allowance For Doubtful Accounts = $1,000

Adjusted amount required = $41,300 × 4%

Adjusted amount required = $1,652 Credit

Un-adjusted balance available = $ 1000 Credit

Bad Debt Expense = Adjusted amount required - Un-adjusted balance available

Bad Debt Expense = $1,652 - $1,000

Bad Debt Expense = $652

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

15,251 units

Explanation:

The formula for Economic order quantity is;

EOQ = √2DS/H

Where,

D = Annual demand = 4,212

S = Ordering cost = $177

H = Holding cost = $27/4,212 = $0.00064102564

EOQ = √ 2 × 4,212 × $177 / $0.00064102564

EOQ = √ $1,491,048 / $0.00064102564

EOQ = √232603488.37

EOQ = 15,251 units

Answer: Ordinal scale.

Explanation:Ordinal scale is the level of measurement that gives the ranking of data without showing the degree of variation between them. It helps in identifying if object has more or less characteristic when compared to another object but does not tell the exact weight of the characteristic. Data in Ordinal scale is usually given in order of magnitude since there is no standard of measurement of differences. For example 1=most willing to 5=least willing.

otez555 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. The computation of the balance in retained earnings is shown below:

= Beginning retained earning balance + adjusted net income

where,

Beginning retained earning balance is $780,000

And, the adjusted net income is = Inventory × ( 1 - tax rate)

Inventory A/c Dr $60,000

   To Retained earning A/c $36,000

   To Tax payable A/c          $24,000
