Answer:

The statement is True as well as correct

Explanation:

Allowance method is the financial term which is defined as the uncollectible accounts receivable procedure that reports the estimate of the bad debt expense in the same accounting or fiscal year as the sale.

Under this method, it is used to adjust the accounts receivable which appears on the balance sheet.

For example,

If the company has the credit sales of $800,000 in December and estimate that the 4% will be uncollectible. Then using this method, computing the uncollectible as:

Bad debt expense = Sales × Estimate uncollectible

= $800,000 × 4%

= $32,000

So, this estimate the bad debt expense rather than wait to see which customer will not able to collect.

UNO [17]

Answer:

Annual demand (U) = 90.000 bags

Cost of each bag = $1.50

Inventory carrying cost per unit(C) = $1.50 × 20% = 0 30

Ordering cost per unit (O) = $15

Part A)

EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2UO}{C}}

EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 90000 * 15}{0.30}}

EOQ = \sqrt{9000000}

EOQ = 3,000

Part B)

Maximum inventory = EOQ + Safety inventory on hand  

Maximum inventory = 3000 + 1000

Maximum inventory = 4.000

Part C)

Average inventory = Maximum inventory + Minimum or Safety /2

Average inventory = 4,000 + 1,000 / 2

Average inventory =2,500

Part D)

How often company order = Annual demand / EOQ

How often company order = 90,000 / 3.000

How often company order = 30

Colorado Mountain Mining paid $ 896,900 for the right to extract mineral assets from a 500,000​-ton deposit. In addition to the
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

(a) The asset would be recorded in accordance to IAS 16 Property, plant & equipment.

Dr  Mining Asset   896,900

Cr       Bank                     896,900

(b) IAS 16 says that the costs incurred to make the asset ready for use must be capitalized as part of the asset. This means the license fee $1000 filing fee, License fee $2100 and $50,000 amount paid for geological survey must be capitalized. So the entry is as under:

Dr Mining asset (1k+2.1k+50k) $53,100

Cr                      Bank                       $53,100

(c) This assets must be depreciated on the basis of tons of minerals extracted which is 60 thousands tons in the first year.

Depreciation Expense = (60k tons / 500k tons)   * (Total capitalized cost)

=(60,000/500,000) * (896,900+53,100) = $108,000

The Double entry of Depreciation Expense would be as under:

Dr Depreciation Expense  $108,000

Cr                Accumulating Depreciation  $108,000
