Answer:

The correct answer is B. (3,375) = NA + (3,375) NA − 3,375 = (3,375) NA.

Explanation:

The question asks for the effect of the adjusting entry on December 31, Year 1, that is, the creation of the 3% allowance for uncollectible debts.

Allowance for bad debts = 3% x $112,500 = $3,375

Its effect is as follows.

Assets: Since accounts receivable (an asset) is reduced, assets are reduced  by $3,375.

Liabilities: No effect.

Equity: As Equity = Assets - Liabilities, the net effect is to reduce the equity by $3,375.

Revenue: No effect.

Expenses: Sales worth $3,375 is written off as an expense. Hence, total expenses increase by $3,375.

Net increase: As revenue remains unchanged while expenses increase by $3,375, the net increase is a negative of $3,375.

Cash flow: No effect, because there is no exchange of cash since the amount of $3,375 was never received by Loudoun Corporation.

These entries correspond to option B. which is thus the correct answer.

Serggg [28]

Calculation of Commission earned:


We are given that Joan sells new cars at a local dealership and she receives a 15% commission on profit.

So we can say that :

Commission earned = 15% * Total profit  

Last week she sold 9 cars for the total of $10,870 dealer profit

Hence Commission earned shall be calculated as follows:

Commission earned = 15% * Total profit  


Commission earned = 15% * 10870 = $1,630.50


Hence, the Commission earned by Joan is <u>$1,630.50</u>
