Answer:

(a) Prepare the entries to record sales and collections during the period.

  • It had net credit sales of $800,000  

Dr Accounts receivable $ 800,000

Cr Sales $ 800,000

  • Collections of $763,000.

Dr CASH $ 763,000

Cr Accounts receivable $ 763,000

(b) Prepare the entry to record the write-off of uncollectible accounts during the period.

  • It wrote off as uncollectible accounts receivable of $7,300  

Dr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 7,300

Cr Accounts receivable $ 7,300

(c) Prepare the entries to record the recovery of the uncollectible account during the period.

  • However, a $3,100 account previously written off as uncollectible was recovered before the end of the current period.  

Dr Accounts receivable $ 3,100

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 3,100

(d) Prepare the entry to record bad debt expense for the period.

  • Uncollectible accounts are estimated to total $25,000 at the end of the period.  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 20,200

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 20,200

Explanation:

If the company applies the allowance method, it means that the account Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts must show as balance the estimated value of $25,000

Because the company already has a CREDIT balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts it's necessary to register an entry that complement the existing value and reflect the estimated value, $ 20,200  

Bad accounts are those credits granted by the company and there is no possibility of being charged.

When customers buy products on credits but the company cannot collect the debt, then it's necessary to cancel the unpaid invoice as uncollectible.

One way is to directly cancel bad debts at the time it was decided that the credit is bad, the total amount reported as bad debt expenses negatively affect the income statement and the accounts receivable are reduced by the same amount, less assets

The other way is to determine a percentage of the total amount of accounts receivable as bad debts, there are many ways to analyze accounts receivable and calculate the value of bad debts.

When the company has the percentage of uncollectible accounts, the required journal entry is Bad Expenses (debit) with Reserve for Bad Accounts (credit)

At the time of cancellation, since the expenses were recognized before, we only use the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Debit)  with accounts receivable (credit), with this we are recognizing the bad credit of the company.

Answer:

This would be a good choice.

Explanation:

Emailing the departments the summary would be the best way to get them the information because it would be time-consuming to tell each person or hand them each a separate notes sheet. An email is a professional and easily accessible way to share information with a large number of people.

Presented below is selected information for three regional divisions of Medina Company. Divisions North West South Contribution
lawyer [7]

Answer:

                                                     North     West           South

Contribution margin           $300,300 $499,000 $399,200

Controllable margin            $139,700 $360,600 $209,900

Average operating assets    $997,857 $1,567,826 $1,499,286

Minimum rate of return             13%            14%           9%

return on investment (ROI) = controllable margin / average operating assets

North's ROI = $139,700 / $997,857 = 14%

West's ROI = $360,600 / $1,567,826 = 23%

South's ROI = $209,900 / $1,499,286  = 14%

residual income = controllable margin - (average operating assets x minimum rate of return)

North's RI = $139,700 - ($997,857 x 13%) = $9,978.59

West's RI = $360,600 - ($1,567,826 x 14%) = $141,104.36

South's RI = $209,900 - ($1,499,286  x 9%) = $74,964.26

(1) If ROI is used to measure performance, which division or divisions will probably make the additional investment?

North and South divisions should probably make the additional investments since their current ROI is less than 16%

(2) If residual income is used to measure performance, which division or divisions will probably make the additional investment?

All the divisions since their minimum required rate of return is less than 16%.

Otrada [13]

Thomas needs to think what it is he needs to buy the car.  That is cash (money).  What does he need to do to get money? He needs a job.  Once he has a job and starts getting paid, he needs to SAVE the amount required for the down payment, unless he has the money to buy it cash! Meaning he can pay it in full.  If he is only paying for the down payment, then he needs to make sure he has good credit to qualify for a loan on the remaining balance.


All in all he needs a plan!

Anika [276]

Answer:

With respect to the employment-at-will doctrine, this is "An exception based on public policy"

Explanation:

Under the public-policy exception to employment at will, an employee is wrongfully discharged when the termination violates an explicit, well-established public policy of the state. For example, in most states, an employer can't terminate an employee for filing a workers' compensation claim after being injured on the job, or for refusing to engage in illegal activity at the request of an employer.

Public policy may be found in a state constitution, statute, administrative rule, or other state policy. The public-policy exception is the most commonly accepted exception, recognized in the vast majority of states.
