Answer:

A. $800

Explanation:

Ana Co.

Sales                            $500,000        

Accounts Receivable    $40,000      

Allowance for doubtful accounts   $300  Credit

Bad Debts Expense = 2 % of $ 40,000=   $  800          

The adjusting entry would be

Bad Debts Expense $ 800 Dr.

Allowance for doubtful accounts   $800  Credit    

As we already have a credit balance of $ 300 in the doubtful accounts we will increase it with an amount of $ 500.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $ 500 Debit

Account Receivable                     $ 500 Credit

dexar [7]

Answer:

Number of units needed to reach the operating income of 80,000: 5,200 units

Explanation:

Please find the below for detailed calculations and explanations:

To achieve $80,000 of operating income, denote the number of units needs to be sold is x.

For each unit sold, the incremental in profit will be 20.

Thus, to achieve the profit of 80,000, the amount of x units sold will generate the profit before fixed cost that covers 24,000 fixed cost and 80,000 targeted profit. So, we have:

80,000 + 24,000 = 20x <=> x = 5,200 units.

* For quick calculation purpose, we may apply the formular: Units need to be sold to achieve targeted income = (Fixed cost + targeted income)/ Contribution margin per unit in monetary form.

It is unethical to ask employees to work longer hours to get a project completed on time.
dimaraw [331]

No.  There are times where some projects are so important that they need to be finished as soon as possible.  You have to make sure that employees will be compensated for their work when they do so.  Make sure that the company follows proper guidelines in doing overtime.

                          Machine hours (X)        Utility cost

       High                2,680                          8,100

        Low               <u> (740)</u>                           <u> (4,650)</u>

                              <u> 1,940 </u>                          <u> 3,450</u>

Variable cost per machine hour

= $3,450/1,940 hours

= $1.7784 per machine hour

Explanation:

Using high and low method, we will obtain the highest activity (machine hours) and the corresponding cost. We will also obtain the lowest activity and the corresponding cost. Thereafter, we will deduct the lowest points from the highest points. Finally, we will divide the difference in cost by the difference in machine hours in order to determine the estimated variable cost per machine hour.
