Answer:

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

Computing the amount of the adjusting entry which is to be recorded for the provision of doubtful accounts using the percentage of sales method:

Provision for doubtful accounts = Net Sales × Estimated uncollectible accounts expense

where

Net Sales is $600,000

Estimated uncollectible accounts expense is 3%

So, putting the values above:

Provision for doubtful accounts = $600,000 × 3%

Provision for doubtful accounts = $18,000

And the entry to be posted is as:

Bad debts expense A/c...................................Dr  $18,000

     Allowance for doubtful accounts A/c..........Cr $18,000

Note: The credit balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts will not considered in this method while computing the provision for doubtful accounts.

Bramble Company uses the percentage of receivables method for recording bad debt expense. The accounts receivable balance is $59
shusha [124]

Answer and Explanation

Given:

Accounts receivable balance = $598,000

Percentage of receivables that are uncollectible = 5% or 0.05

Uncollectible receivables = 0.05 × 598,000 = $29,900

Adjusting journal entry to record bad debt expense is:

Particulars                                          Debit              Credit

Bad debts expense                            XXXXX

     Allowance for doubtful debts                               XXXXX

(Being bad debts incurred)

Noe, Allowance for doubtful debts has a credit balance of $4,800.

Bad debt incurred = 29,900 - 4,800 = $25,100

So adjusting entry :

Particulars                                          Debit              Credit

Bad debts expense                            $25,100

     Allowance for doubtful debts                             $25,100

(Being bad debts incurred)

ycow [4]

Answer:

B. I, II, and IV only

Explanation:

Job specialization can be defined as a strategic process which typically involves the ability of employees working in an organization to develop specific skills, knowledge, great expertise or professionalism and experience to perform their duties, tasks or job functions effectively and efficiently.

In order to gain the requisite skills, expertise and knowledge for job specialization, it is very important for the employees to have undergone an extensive training and a good number of years in work experience.

The primary purpose of job specialization is to increase efficiency and productivity because the employees are able to specialize in the use of specific tools (equipments) to accomplish their tasks, as well as limit the level of error or mistakes in the production process.

In Business management, method analysis can be defined as the study of the detailed process for the performance of a job i.e how a job is done. Thus, method analysis gives a detailed report on the tasks involved in the performance of a job and how they are to be done.

Basically, methods analysis is particularly valuable when it is used on jobs that:

1. Are high in labor content.

2. Are done frequently.

3. Are unsafe, tiring, unpleasant, and/or noisy.

dem82 [27]

Answer:

$149,000

Explanation:

Computation for the relevant costs of producing 2,400 units of product PQ107 internally

Using this formula

Relevant Costs = Incremental Costs = Incremental Variable Costs + Incremental

Let plug in the formula

Relevant Costs = [(2,400 units × $31/unit) + (2,400 units × $19/unit) + (2,400 units × $8/unit)] + $9,800

Relevant Costs=$74,400+$45,600+$19,200+$9,800

Relevant Cost =$149,000

Therefore the relevant costs of producing 2,400 units of product PQ107 internally are $149,000
