Answer:

The adjusting entry at the end of the year is option c.

Debit Bad Debts Expense $12,335;

credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $12,335

Explanation:

Bad debt : The amount which is not received by the customer for good supplied by the company is treated as a bad debt.

In the given question,

The 2.5% of ending accounts receivable will be uncollectible so, the allowance would be equals to

= 2.5 % of Accounts receivable

= 2.5 % × $441,000

= $110,25

Now add the allowance for doubtful accounts to the allowance which is calculated above.

So,

= $110,25 + 1,310

= $12,335

The estimated bad debts expense is $12,335

Hence, the adjusting entry at the end of the year is option c.

Debit Bad Debts Expense $12,335;

credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $12,335

Chromatics, Inc., produces novelty nail polishes. Each bottle sells for 3.60. Variable unit costs are as follows:
devlian [24]

Answer:

Margin of safety= 9,000 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each bottle sells for 3.60.

Variable unit costs are as follows:

Acrylic base- .75

Pigments- .38

Other ingredients- .35

Bottle, packing material- 1.15

Selling commission- .25

Fixed overhead costs are 12000 per year. Fixed selling and administrative costs are 6720 per year. Chromatics sold 35000 bottles last year.

First, we need to calculate the variable cost per unit and total fixed costs:

Unitary variable cost= 0.75 + 0.38 + 0.35 + 1.15 + 0.25= $2.88

Total fixed costs= fixed overhead + fixed selling and administrative= 12,000 + 6,720= 18,720

Now, we can calculate the break-even point in units:

Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even point= 18,720 / (3.6 - 2.88)= 26,000 units

Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety ratio= 35,000 - 26,000= 9,000 units

When qualifying a buyer using the Fannie Mae guidelines, what is the ratio allowed for the amount of money for housing expense c
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

28%

Explanation:

Most mortgage lenders, including Fannie Mae, use the 28/36 rule. That rule states that a family should spend no more than 28% of the gross monthly income (GMI) on housing expenses, and pay no more than 36% of GMI to cover debts (mortgage payments are included in this 36%).

Statistics show that households that do not comply with the 28/36 rule, tend to have difficulty paying back loans.

A buyer is considering a house with a piti of $2,900/month, what must his/her annual income be to qualify if the lender uses a h
kogti [31]

So you would need to set up a formula for this. 2,900 = .29(x)

Basically, 2,900 is 29% of what number.

To isolate x, divide both sides by .29 = 10,000

So the buyer would need to make 10,000 per month to qualify for the 29% rule. So their annual income would need to be 120,000

Marigold reported the following information for the current year: Sales (59000 units) $1180000, direct materials and direct labo
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Marigold break-even point  = 400,000 units

Explanation:

given data

Sales = 59000 units

direct materials = $1180000

direct labor = $590000

variable costs = $59000

fixed costs = $360000

solution

we get here Marigold’s break-even point in units that is express as

Marigold’s break-even point = Fixed Cost ÷ (Selling Price - Variable Cost)  .............1

Break Even Point = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin    ............2

so here

Contribution Margin will be = \frac{1180000 - (590000+59000)}{59000}  

Contribution Margin = $9

now put value in equation 2 we get

Marigold break-even point =  \frac{360,000}{9}

Marigold break-even point  = 400,000 units
