Romashka [77]

$159,000

Explanation:

The double entry to record the writes off balances which are the bad debts of Customers who will not pay the debt, will include debit to allowance which is decrease in the allowance and credit to accounts receivable which is also a decrease to accounts receivable:

Dr Allowance for doubtful account $1,100

Cr Accounts Receivable                           $1,100

Opening balance of Accounts receivables             $170,000

Accounts Receivable                                                ($1,100)

Allowance for Doubtful Debt    ($11,000 - $1,100)   <u>   $9,900 </u>

Accounts Receivable (Net)                                       $159,000

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Winslow Inc.

Total                                    577,600       423,900       514,500    1,516,000

4 Gross profit                   $272,400     $276,100     $120,500   $669,000

Total                                   224,400        172,700      264,000        661,100

6 Income (Loss) from       $48,000      $103,400    $(143,500)       $7,900

c. Eliminating the line only eliminated the variable costs of goods sold and selling and administrative expenses.  The fixed costs were not changed with the elimination.  Therefore, eliminating the running shoes line increased the company-wide loss to $112,600 from a profit of $7,900.
