Answer:

The answer is A. dr. Bad Debt Expense with $3,000 and cr. Allowance for Doubtful accounts with $3,000.

Explanation:

The essence of the above entries is to bring the balance for Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to the new estimated 5% of the Accounts Receivable balance of $100,000.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is an adjustable and contra account to the Accounts Receivable.

Management can use any method: direct write-off and aging analysis to determine the balance sheet figure for the account.  But the entry to be journalized at period end is either a credit (to increase the balance) or a debit (to decrease the balance).

Answer:

A. dr. Bad Debt Expense 3,000 and cr. Allowance for Doubtful accounts 3,000

Explanation:

Bad debt Expense will be calculated using the percentage of debt loss. The expense will be calculated using the account receivable balance.

Closing Value of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts will be as follow

Closing Balance = $100,000 x 5% = $5,000

As Allowance for Doubtful Accounts already have credit balance of $2,000, we need to adjust the remainder to make the closing balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $5,000 at the year end.

Adjustment Value = $5,000 - $2,000 = $3,000

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

c. the average cost method.

Explanation:

Windsor INC. purchased inventory during the month of June as follows:

June 1 129 units at $890

June 10 172 units at $1340

June 15 172 units at $1440

June 28 129 units at $ 1140

and at the end of the period, there are 180 units on hand.

In order to get highest gross profit the closing sock should be the highest, accordingly the value of inventory at hand should as as follows under different method explain below:

Under FIFO method the inventory first enter into the enterprise is available for sale at first so the inventory of 180 units at end should be values at the last price mentioned in the question i.e $1140, therefore the value amounts to $1140*180 units=$205200

Under LIFO method, likewise the last entered inventory will be available for sale and the inventory at the end of period will be valued at the price at which the inventory first bought i.e $890, therefore the value amounts to 180 units*$890=$160200

Under Average cost method the effect of differential price is distributed over the quantity bough during a period so that the company remains in ineffective condition during the period from the price change

Average cost per unit= (129*$890 +172*$1340+ 172*$1440+129*$1140)/602 units

=$1229.29

and for the 180 units the value amounts to 180*$122.29=$221271.429

so, as per explanation given above, it is certain that the highest value will be in average cost method.

The correct option is - c. the average cost method.
