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.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

1.69

Explanation:

asset turnover ratio = net sales / average assets

I looked up the missing information and found the following:

total assets year 1 = $4,000,000

total assets year 2 = $4,300,000

net sales year 2 = $7,000,000

average assets = ($4,000,000 + $4,300,000) / 2 = $4,150,000

asset turnover ratio = $7,000,000 / $4,150,000 = 1.6867 = 1.69

The higher the asset turnover ratio, the more efficient a company is. Therefore, a higher asset turnover ratio is always better although there is no fixed parameter.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

A. $20,000

B. $17,234.18

C.Option (b)

Explanation:

Obviously, the option with lower Present Value would be the best option to buy the car. The Present Value of the options can find out as following

REQUIREMENT A

Price of car = $24,600  

Rebate = $4,600

Present value of the payments for option  = Price of the car – rebate  

Present value of the payments for option (a) = $24,600 - $4,600

Present value of the payments for option = $20,000

REQUIREMENT B

We can use the following Present Value of an Annuity formula to calculate the present value of the payments

PV of the payments for option  = PMT * [1-(1+i) ^-n)]/i

PV of the payments for option (b) (PV) =?

Monthly payment PMT =$410 per month

Number of payments n = 5 years *12 months = 60

Monthly interest rate i=1.25% per month or 0.0125

PV of the payments for option  = $410 x [1- (1+0.0125) ^-60]/0.0125

PV of the payments for option  = $17,234.18

REQUIREMENT C.

Which is the better deal?

Option (b) is better deal as the present value of payments ($17,234.18) is less than Present value of the payments for option (a); $20,000.
