Answer: Please see the required journals below:
December 31:
Debit Bad debt expense $6,034
Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $6,034
February 1:
Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts $431
Credit Accounts receivables $431
June 5:
Debit Cash $431
Credit Bad debt recovery (income statement) $431
Explanation: The company estimates its bad debt expense as percentage of sales. In this case 0.7% of its annual sales of $862,000 was deemed as uncollectible, that is, 0.7% x $862,000 = $6,034. The required journals to recognize this bad debt expense is provided above. However, since there was an existing provision, which resides in the allowance account, a write-off would definitely hit that account in order to extinguish the accounts receivable portion. Upon recovery of the write-off, we cannot reinstate the receivable since it was already extinguished but we need to recognize the recovery as a gain.
The dictionary definition of a corporation is "<span>a company or group of people authorized to act as a single entity (legally a person) and recognized as such in law." So basically a company that has been given the legal rights of a person. Examples of this would be Google, or Burger King because they are given these legal rights by the government.</span>
Answer:
the variable overhead efficiency variance is $1,840 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the variable overhead efficiency variance is shown below:
= Standard variable overhead rate × (standard hours - actual hours)
= $4.60 × (10,600 - 11,000)
= $1,840 unfavorable
Hence, the variable overhead efficiency variance is $1,840 unfavorable
As the standard hours would be less than the actual hours so it would be unfavorable variance
