Answer:

$1300 U    

Explanation:

Budgeted cost of plastic per yard = $91

Actual cost of the plastic per yard = $90

Actual units made = 4100

Budgeted units to be made = 3300

Actual plastic used = 4160 yards

Now,

Materials quantity variance

= ( Budgeted material - Actual material ) × Actual cost

= ( 1 × 4100 - 4160 ) × $90

= -$5,400       [Here negative sign means unfavorable ]

Materials price variance = ( Budgeted cost - Actual cost ) × Actual units

= ( $91 - $90 ) × 4100

= $4100

Therefore,

Total material variance = $4,100 - $5,400  

= - $1,300

i.e $1300 U

An aging of Bicycle Company's accounts receivable indicates that $20,000 is estimated to be uncollectible. If Allowance for Doub
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The adjustment to record bad debts for the period will be:

Debit Bad debt expense ($20,000 - $3,000)                    $17,000

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts                            $17,000

<em>(Bad debt expense required)</em>

Explanation:

Bicylce Company adopts the aging of accounts receivable method. The aging of accounts receivable is a criterion for apportioning the balance in the accounts receivable into different buckets (aging), for example: Not due, 1 - 30 days, 30 - 60 days, over 60 days, based on historical information and assigning a credit loss percentage to each bucket.

Since the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a $3,000 credit, to calculate the required bad debt expense, we need to back out this amount from the amount that is deemed uncollectible, that is $20,000 - $3,000 = $17,000.
