Answer: Please see the required journals below:
December 31:
Debit Bad debt expense $6,034
Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $6,034
February 1:
Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts $431
Credit Accounts receivables $431
June 5:
Debit Cash $431
Credit Bad debt recovery (income statement) $431
Explanation: The company estimates its bad debt expense as percentage of sales. In this case 0.7% of its annual sales of $862,000 was deemed as uncollectible, that is, 0.7% x $862,000 = $6,034. The required journals to recognize this bad debt expense is provided above. However, since there was an existing provision, which resides in the allowance account, a write-off would definitely hit that account in order to extinguish the accounts receivable portion. Upon recovery of the write-off, we cannot reinstate the receivable since it was already extinguished but we need to recognize the recovery as a gain.
Answer:
Additional Medicare is charged on the wages that are higher than $200,000.
1. Medicare owed assuming Ms. Deming is single:
= (225,000 - 200,000) * 0.9%
= 25,000 * 0.9%
= $225
2. Medicare owed assuming Ms. Deming files a joint return with her husband.
When filed together, their wages would be considered jointly.
= ( (100,000 + 225,000) - 200,000) * 0.9%
= 125,000 * 0.9%
= $1,125
Answer:
=1.25
Explanation:
Current ratio= current asset/ current liabilities
Current ratio= $5 million./ Current Liabilities
Cross multiply we have
But current ratio is 2.0
2= 5/ current liabilities
current liabilities= 5/2
=2.5million
Quick ratio= current Asset- inventory/current liabilities
1.5=( 5- inventory)/2.5
Cross multiply we have
1.5×2.5= ( 5- inventory)
3.75= ( 5- inventory)
inventory= 5-3.75
=1.25
Therefore, the firm's level of inventories is 1.25
