Answer:

Adjusting entry to record the estimated uncollectible accounts receivable is:

Debit Bad debt expense                                  $8,500

Credi Allowance for doubtful accounts          $8,500

<em>(To record bad debt expense for the year)</em>

Explanation:

The company uses percentage of credit sale to arrive at an estimated amount of accounts receivable that is deemed irrecoverable.

3% of credit sales of $300,000 = $9,000

Since there is an existing credit balance of $500 in the allowance for doubtful accounts, in order to reinstate the balance in that account to $9,000, we need to remove the existing balance from the calculated estimate. Therefore, $9,000 - $500 = $8,500 becomes the necessary adjustment to Bad debt expense.

Weighted shortest job first gives preference to jobs with which two characteristics? (choose two. )
Oksanka [162]

Weighted Shortest Job First gives preference to jobs with characteristics such as, first, the size of the project (smaller is better) Second, the value of the project (higher is better).

In order to determine a relative ranking, Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) uses a technique for assigning a weight, or value, to each job, and then by dividing that by the length of the job. It also gives preference to jobs with characteristics such as the size and value for a project.

Weighted Shortest Job First is a prioritization model used to sequence jobs eg., capabilities, features, and epics in order to produce maximum economic benefit.

Hence, WSJF prefers such characteristics.
