Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": A business legally separate from its owners.

Explanation:

A Corporation is a defined entity. Corporations are considered to be separate legal entities from their owners according to law. This means companies themselves are legally liable for their acts and debts, not the shareholders. When a company credits debts, the creditors have claims against the corporation's properties, not the owners' assets.

On December 31, Year 1, the Loudoun Corporation estimated that 3% of its credit sales of $112,500 would be uncollectible. Loudou
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. (3,375) = NA + (3,375) NA − 3,375 = (3,375) NA.

Explanation:

The question asks for the effect of the adjusting entry on December 31, Year 1, that is, the creation of the 3% allowance for uncollectible debts.

Allowance for bad debts = 3% x $112,500 = $3,375

Its effect is as follows.

Assets: Since accounts receivable (an asset) is reduced, assets are reduced  by $3,375.

Liabilities: No effect.

Equity: As Equity = Assets - Liabilities, the net effect is to reduce the equity by $3,375.

Revenue: No effect.

Expenses: Sales worth $3,375 is written off as an expense. Hence, total expenses increase by $3,375.

Net increase: As revenue remains unchanged while expenses increase by $3,375, the net increase is a negative of $3,375.

Cash flow: No effect, because there is no exchange of cash since the amount of $3,375 was never received by Loudoun Corporation.

These entries correspond to option B. which is thus the correct answer.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The partnership assets should be distributed $ 1875 for Joe and $ 625 for Mae.

Explanation:

Since Mae and Joe form a partnership, and Mae contributes $ 3,000 in cash, and Joe contributes his services, and throughout the life of the partnership, Mae also lends the partnership $ 1,000, and upon dissolution of the partnership, $ 2,500 is left in the partnership. assets after all outside creditors have been paid, absent a partnership agreement to the contrary, to determine how the partnership assets should be distributed the following calculation must be performed:

Joe = 3000

Mae = 1000

Joe 3: 1 Mae

2500/4 x 3 = Joe = 1875

2500/4 = Mae = 625

Therefore, the partnership assets should be distributed $ 1875 for Joe and $ 625 for Mae.

On December 31, 2021, Caria vista inc. appropriately changed its inventory valuation method to FIFO cost from weighted average c
lisov135 [29]

Answer: Increases by $30,800

Explanation:

If the inventory increased by $38,500 in January then that means that the Net Income for the previous period has increased because the Cost of Goods sold for the previous period will be less.

Since the Income for the year 2020 has increased by $38,500, the tax rate needs to be applied to it to see how much goes to retained earnings.

= 38,500 ( 1 - tax rate)

= 38,500 * ( 1 - 20%)

= $30,800

The beginning Retained Earnings balance Increases by $30,800
