Calistoga Produce estimates bad debt expense at 0.60% of credit sales. The company reported accounts receivable and allowance fo
liraira [26]

Answer: Calistoga's final balance in its allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2021 is $246.

Explanation: Calistoga Produce applies percentage of credit sales method to estimate its bad debt expense. So 0.60% of $331,000 (credit sales) = $1,986 and the balance in allowance for doubtful accounts is $1,520. The following journals would be recorded to adjust for the estimate:

Debit Bad debt expense                                      $466

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts           $466

The $466 is the difference between $1,986 and $1,520

Now that the company writes off $1,740 accounts receivable, the following journal entries apply:

Debit Allowance for doubtful account              $1,740

Credit Accounts receivable                                $1,740

In summary, the allowance account movement is as follows:

Opening balance                                                 $1,520

Additional bad debt expense                                 466

Write-off during the year                                     (1,740)

Balance, end of the year                                       $246

In the u.s. surgeons earn a median salary of $365,885, which puts them at the ________ of all income.
nataly862011 [7]
<span>This answer should be "c" the top 20%. The income is clearly not middle income level, which would be d or a. It is definitely not b- bottom 20%. Therefore we are left with c- top 20% and this jives with my own experience. 1% would include millionaires and above, therefore we are left with a relatively small group of high income earners who aren't necessarily millionaires- in the sense that they earn a million or more per year.</span>

12345 [234]

Answer:

$510,000.00

Explanation:

Since the historical cost principle states that business must account and record most assets at their purchase or acquisition price which means the data put into record on the balance sheet would reflect amount paid for asset.

That is why it is $510000.

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

<u>Part (a):</u>

Make a table showing the value of the marginal product for each screen from the first through the fifth:

<u>Solution: </u>

The answer is attached.

<u>Part (b):</u>  

How many screens will be built if the real interest rate is 5.5 percent?

<u>Answer:</u> 3 screens

<u>Part (c): </u>

How many screens will be built if the real interest rate is 7.5 percent?

<u>Answer:</u> 1 screen

<u>Part (d):</u>

How many screens will be built if the real interest rate is 10 percent?

<u>Answer:</u> 0 screens

<u>Part (e): </u>

If the real interest rate is 5.5 percent, how far would construction costs have to fall before the builder would be willing to build a five-screen complex?

<u>Answer:</u> $727,272.73(approx.)

Explanation:

Part (a):

Make a table showing the value of the marginal product for each screen from the first through the fifth:

Solution:

The solution is attached with working.

<u>Part (b):</u>

<u>How many screens will be built if the real interest rate is 5.5 percent?</u>

<u>Solution:</u>

3 screens

The interest cost of each screen = 5.5% x $1,000,000 = $55,000.

There are no other costs mentioned. The value of marginal product exceeds $55,000 for 3 screens.

Therefore, 3 screens should be built.

<u>Part (c): </u>

<u>How many screens will be built if the real interest rate is 7.5 percent?</u>

<u>Solution:</u>

1 screen

The value of the marginal product exceeds the interest cost (7.5% of $1,000,000, or $75,000) for only the first screen.

Thus, <u>one</u> screen will be built.

<u>Part (d):</u>

<u>How many screens will be built if the real interest rate is 10 percent?</u>

<u>Solution:</u>

0 screens

At 10% interest, the interest cost of a screen is $100,000, more than the value of the marginal product of even the first screen.

<u> </u>Thus, no screens will be built.

Part (e):

<u>If the real interest rate is 5.5 percent, how far would construction costs have to fall before the builder would be willing to build a five-screen complex?</u>

<u>Solution:</u>

The value of the marginal product of the fifth screen is $40,000. At an interest rate of 5.5%, building five screens is profitable only if 5.5% times the per-screen construction cost is no greater than $40,000.

<u>Financial cost per screen = real interest rate x construction cost of per screen </u>

$40, 000 = 5.5% x construction cost per screen Construction cost per screen  = $40,000 ÷ 5.5%

= $727,272.73(approx.)
