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.

Wayco Industrial Supply has a pretax cost of debt of 7.6 percent, a cost of equity of 16.8 percent, and a cost of preferred stoc
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

14.88%

Explanation:

Market value of common stock outstanding = 220,000 * $27 = $5,940,000

Market value of preferred stock = 25,000 * $41 = $1,025,000

Market value of bond = $550,000 * 101.2% = $556,600  

Wayco's total financing market value = $5,940,000 + $1,025,000 + $556,600 = $7,521,600

Weighted average cost of capital = [($5,940,000 / $7,521,600) * 16.8%] + [($1,025,000 / $7,521,600) * 9.1%] + [($556,600 / $7,521,600) * 7.6% * (1 - 34%)] = 0.1488, or 14.88%

Which of the following is a PRE-READING activity designed to help build reading comprehension
kondaur [170]
I think the correct answer would be the second option. Paraphrasing the ideas within a document is an activity that would help building reading comprehension. Paraphrasing ideas would require one to understand the context of the sentence so that you can write it in your own way so in a way it helps comprehension.<span />

Sunland Company reported the following information for the current year: Sales (64000 units) $1280000, direct materials and dire
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

45%

Explanation:

Given the following :

Sales unit = 64000

Sales revenue = $1,280,000

Direct materials and directly labor = $640,000

Other variable cost = $64,000

Fixed cost = $360,000

Contribution margin ratio:

(Sales revenue - variable expenses) / sales revenue

Total variable expenses = (Direct materials and directly labor + other variable expenses)

Total variable expenses = (640000 + 64000) = $704,000

Contribution margin ratio :

$(1,280,000 - 704,000) / $1,280,000

$576,000 / $1,280,000

= 0.45

0.45 * 100 = 45%

Pasadena Candle Inc. budgeted production of 730,000 candles for the January. Wax is required to produce a candle. Assume 13 ounc
Olin [163]

Answer:

Direct material budget (in pounds)= 588,125

Direct material budget ($)= $941,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production= 730,000 candles

Direct material required for each unit:

13 ounces of wax

The estimated January 1 wax inventory is 18,600 pounds.

The desired January 31 wax inventory is 13,600 pounds.

Candle wax costs $1.60 per pound.

The direct material purchases are determined by the production requirements, the beginning inventory, and the ending inventory.

First, we need to calculate the amount of wax for the period:

Production= 730,000 candles*13 ounces= 9,490,000 ounces

In pounds= 9,490,000/16= 593,125 pounds.

Direct material budget (in pounds)= Production for the month + ending inventory - beginning inventory

Direct material budget (in pounds)= 593,125 + 13,600 - 18,600= 588,125

Direct material budget ($)= 588,125*1.6= $941,000
