Answer:

Upon write off of $300 as uncollectible debt,the following accounting entries are required

Dr Allowance for doubtful accounts  $300

Cr Accounts receivable                                 $300

Being posting of uncollectible debt

Upon receipt of the debt already written off,the debts needs be restated by reversing the original entries:

Dr Accounts receivable               $300

Cr Allowance for doubtful debt            $300'

Restatement of earlier debt written off

The following entries are required for cash receipt:

Dr Cash              $300

Cr Accounts receivable    $300

being collection of cash for accounts receivable

Explanation:

Initially write off of debt means additional expense of $300,hence allowance for doubtful accounts is debited and accounts receivable is credited.

For receipt of cash, an inflow of cash means an increase in asset,hence cash account is debited and accounts receivable credited.

Zoie makes 2 products from a common input. Each product may be sold at the split-off point or processed further. The following i
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Zoie

The minimum amount the company should accept if Product 1 is sold at the split-off point is:

= $30,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                          Product 1    Product 2

Allocated joint processing costs         21,200        35,700

Sales value at split-off point                38,100        19,200

Costs of further processing                17,000        19,900

Sales value after further processing 30,000       28,300

The minimum amount the company should accept if Product 1 is sold at the split-off point is $30,000.

b) Further processing of Product 1 does not make economic sense.  Zoie should sell the product at split-off point at $38,100.  Similarly, based on the facts provided, Product 2 hardly deserves further processing.

Suppose you win a lottery. You have two choices for receiving the money. Choice 1: $50 000 at the end of each year for 20 years
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

<em>The first option of an annuity is better because the amount is worth </em>   $2,288,098 in today's cash

Explanation:

<em>The better choice would be the option with the higher present value discounted at the required rate of return. The required rate of return is 8%</em>.

<em>To determine the better choice, we would compare the present value of choice 1 to the $500, 000 receivable today under choice 2</em>

The present value of $50 000 at the end of each year for 20 years is

PV = A × ((1+r)^n - 1)/r

r- 8%, n - 20, A= 50,000, PV - Present value

PV = 50,000 × (  ( 1.08)^(20) - 1) /0.08

     =  50,000 ×  45.7619643

     =  $2,288,098

<em>The first option of an annuity is better because the amount is worth </em>   $2,288,098 in today's cash which is higher than $500,000 offered by the second option.

The first option is greater than the second by $1,788,098.21  i.e

$2,288,098 - $500,000
