Answer:

The balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts after adjustment is $27,000.  This represents 1.5% of $800,000 net sales (to be charged to bad debt expense for the month) plus the credit balance of $15,000.

Explanation:

An Allowance of Doubtful Accounts is established at the same period when sales take place since an entity is not certain of the amount it will eventually receive from its credit customers.  This allowance is an estimate for bad debts.

Using the percentage-of-sales basis, the company can provide in advance an educated guess of probable bad debts to be incurred using an established rate.

EPS                                    $5                              $6.67 (a ÷ b)

Increase in EPS

= $6.67 - $5

= $1.67

lakkis [162]

Answer:

e. $89,337.60

Explanation:

Given that

The cost of the asset = $108,000

And, the MACRS rate is .2, .32, .192, .1152, .1152, and .0576 for years 1 to 6

So the accumulated depreciation at the end of the year 4 is

= ($108,000) × (0.2 + 0.32 + 0.192 + 0.1152)

= $108,000 × 0.8272

= $89,337.60

By multiplying the cost of the asset with the MACRS rate upto fourth year we can get the accumulated depreciation

stepladder [879]

Answer:

1. The correct answer is b) Confidentiality.

2. The CEO supports the CFO and does not agree to correct the financial statements

Explanation:

1. Confidentiality is an important element for different companies and professions, for example, through confidentiality, companies protect much of their information. That is why many companies make a confidentiality agreement with their employees when hiring them with the aim that the Company information is not shared for any reason.

There are confidentiality agreements that remain in force after people have stopped working at the company, for example in the case of the accountant who denounces the financial irregularities of his former boss, violates the confidentiality agreement and if his employer shows that he has no irregularity he can sue the accountant for not complying with the agreement.

2. Executive Director of the company is known as the CEO, whose function is the development of the business plan and the organization of the company.

The CFO is the acronym for the financial director in companies, they have the function of financial planning.

In companies, Executive Director (CEO) has the authority to accept or deny actions to be taken, for example, he has the authority to tell the chief financial officer (CFO) not to correct the company's financial statements. When the company has problems, it may be that the CEO and CFO will have responsibilities taking into account their functions.
