Answer:

(a) 4% of accounts receivable

  • Oriole Company estimates bad debts at (a) 4% of accounts receivable  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 35,001  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 35,001

  • (b) 4% of accounts receivable but Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a $1,490 debit balance.

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 39,801  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 39,801

Explanation:

Initial Balance  

Dr Accounts Receivable   $ 130,100

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 3,310

Sales Revenue (all on credit)  

Dr Accounts Receivable  $ 880,500  

Cr Sales  $ 880,500

Sales Returns and Allowances    

Dr Sales Returns and Allowances $ 52,830  

Cr Accounts Receivable   $ 52,830

Oriole Company estimates bad debts at (a) 4% of accounts receivable  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 35,001  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 35,001

To register the adjustment of 4% of accounts receivables it's necessary considerate the values previously recorded in the account.

It means, CREDIT Balance $3,310 and to register the difference.

4% of accounts receivable but Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a $1,490 debit balance.  

Dr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 1,490

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 39,801  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 39,801

If the company applies the allowance method, it means that the account Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts must show as balance the % of accounts receivables as CREDIT.  

Because the company has a debit balance in that account it's necessary to register an entry that compensate the DEBIT value and reflect A CREDIT estimated as % of account receivable.  

FINAL Balance  

Dr Accounts Receivable  $ 957,770  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 38,311

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.

hoa [83]

Answer:

The estimate value of the subject property is $8,269,200

The other information that would be desirable in reaching a conclusion:

The closeness of the property to central business districts as the closer it is the higher the asking price.

The estimate was solely based on revenue, the applicable costs have been ignored.

The average taken might not be a good indication for the subject property because the property might have unique features

Explanation:

The formula for Gross Rent Multiplier is given  Property Price / Gross Monthly Rental Income.

In determining the estimate value of the subject property ,we calculate the gross rent multiplier of the new property,then multiply it  with the annual rental income.

In ascertaining the GRM of the new property we take the average GRM of the two similar properties in the same area.This is because the new property judging from number of units, lies in-between the other two properties.

GRM for Oaks

GRM=$9000000/($550*140)

GRM =116.88

GRM for Palms

GRM=$6,600,000/($650*90)

GRM =112.82

The average GRM=(116.88+112.82)/2

                               =114.85

Subject property price=114.85*(120*$600)

                                     =$8,269,200

dimaraw [331]

Answer: E.When there are so many industry rivals that the impact of any one company's actions is spread thinly across all industry members

Explanation:

The more the number of players in an industry the more it gets congested and especially for the competing sellers. The decision for increasing or reducing price is met by follower firms to do the same thing. It gets less competitive because you know all the players in the industry would be following the same practices and doing the same thing.
