Answer:

(1) (i) 9.16 times

(ii) 39.845 days

(2) Yes

Explanation:

1. Net credit sales = 35,497

Average net receivables = (3,391 + 4,359) ÷ 2

                                          = 3,875

So,

Receivables turnover ratio = Sales revenue (2022) ÷ Average net receivables

                                             = 35,497 ÷ 3,875

                                             = 9.16 times

However I don't know how they got the net receivables figure, because:

Gross receivable - ADA = net receivable,

but it doesn't work out like this above, so since the net receivable is given, I just used it as given.

Average collection period = 365 days ÷ Receivables turnover

                                            = 365 ÷ 9.16

                                            = 39.845 days

2. In order for something to be "material" it must be important.

Accounts Receivable are part of current assets and they are very important, so the answer is yes.

On December 31, the company estimates future sales refunds to be $900. As of that date, the company has an unadjusted debit bala
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Dr Allowances for sales returns     $600

Cr Sales refund payable                             $600

Being increase sales refund estimate

Explanation:

The sales refund account is liability account that should naturally have a credit balance.

In the current period the balance in the sales refund payable account should be $900 in total,but there is a balancing credit amount already in the account,intuitively, the amount needed to raise the balance in the account to $900 is $600.

The necessary entries required for the sales refund payable is shown below:

Dr Allowances for sales returns     $600

Cr Sales refund payable                             $600

Being increase sales refund estimate

There is no adjusting entry to accounts receivable as that deals with receipt  of cash from sales transactions and not the actual sales transactions.

When the refund is eventually settled with cash, a debit is posted to sales refund payable and a credit to cash account

  • A process costing method is used by any large-scale firm who produces huge quantities of identical commodities.
