Answer:

Bad debt expense for 2020 is - $ 2,234

Explanation:

Adjustment to the Allowance for Doubtful Debts (Increase or Decrease) are recorded in the Income Statement as part of Bad Debts Expenses as follows;

<em>Increase in Allowance for Doubtful debts = Increases the Bad Debts Expense</em>

<em>Decrease in Allowance for Doubtful debts = Decreases the Bad Debts Expense</em>

During the Period Allowances for Doubtful Debts are calculated as :

Allowances for Doubtful Debts = $53,600 × 6%

                                                    = $ 3,216

Bad Debt Expense = $ 3,216-$5,450

                                =  - $ 2,234

Answer:

a. $29.23

b. $146,150

Explanation:

a. The computation of overhead application rate is shown below:-

Overhead application rate = Total standard overhead ÷ Total standard hours

= $163,710 ÷ (1,120 × 5)

= $163,710 ÷ 5,600

= $29.23

So, for determining the overhead application rate we simply divide the total standard overhead by total standard hours.

b. The computation of overhead was applied to production is shown below:-

Applied overhead = Standard hours for actual production × Overhead application rate

= 5,000 × $29.23

= $146,150

So, for determining the applied overhead we simply divide the standard hours for actual production by overhead application rate

Eric receives a portion of his income from his holdings of interest-bearing U.S. government bonds. The bonds offer a real intere
MArishka [77]

Solution :

Given :

The bonds offer a \text{real interest rate} of 4.5% per year

Tax rate = 10% = 0.10

Inflation rate = 2

\text{Nominal interest rate} = \text{real interest rate} + \text{inflation rate}

\text{Nominal interest rate} = 2 + 4.5

                                   = 6.5

\text{After tax nominal rate} = \text{Nominal interest rate} $\times (1-\text{tax rate})$

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = $6.5 \times (1-0.10)$

                                                  $=6.5 \times 0.90$

                                                 = 5.85

After tax real interest rate = \text{after tax nominal rate} - \text{inflation rate}

                                           = 5.85 - 2.0

                                            = 3.85

\text{Inflation rate} = 7.0

\text{Real interest rate = 4.5}

\text{Nominal interest rate} = \text{real interest rate} + \text{inflation rate}

                                   = 7 + 4.5

                                  = 11.5

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = \text{Nominal interest rate} $\times (1-\text{tax rate })$

                                                  $=11.5 \times (1 - 0.10)$

                                                  $=11.5 \times 0.90$

                                                = 10.35

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = 11.5 x (1 - 0.10)

                                          = 11.5 x 0.90

                                         = 10.35

\text{After tax nominal interest rate} = \text{after tax nominal rate} - \text{inflation rate}

                                           = 10.35 - 7.0

                                          = 3.35

Putting all the value in table :

\text{Inflation rate}    Real interest  Nominal interest  After tax nominal  After tax  

                                  rate                rate               interest rate       interest rate

2.0                             4.5                  6.5                        5.85                   3.85

7.0                              4.5                11.5                         10.35                3.35

Comparing with the \text{higher inflation rate}, a \text{lower inflation rate} will increase the after after tax real interest rate when the government taxes nominal interest income. This tends to encourage saving, thereby increase the quantity of investment in the economy and the increase the economy's long-run growth rate.

An apparel manufacturing plant has estimated the variable cost to be $3.30 per unit. Fixed costs are $1,800,000 per year. Forty
erica [24]

Answer:

$15.30

Explanation:

Given that,

Fixed costs = $1,800,000 per year

Variable cost = $3.30 per unit

40% of its business is with one preferred customer.

Total units sold in a year = 150,000

Unit cost per item:

= (Fixed cost ÷ Total units sold) + Variable cost per unit

= ($1,800,000 ÷ 150,000) + $3.30

= $12 + $3.30

= $15.30

Therefore, the unit cost per item is $15.30.

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Units sold exceeds units produced

Explanation:

The net operating income under variable costing system is always higher than absorption costing system when units sold exceeds units produced. As variable cost doesn't include fixed manufacturing overhead unlike absorption costing, when the net operating income under it now exceed that of absorption, it's definitely am increase in sales that's responsible for that.
