Answer: $5,440

Explanation:

When using the percent of sales method to determine bad debts, the company estimates a percentage that it believes will results in uncollectible debt and then applies it to the sales/revenue figure. The figure that is calculated is then debited along with the debit balance on the Allowance for doubtful accounts to the Bad debts account for the year and credited to the Allowance for doubtful accounts.

This company estimates that they will have 0.6% of credit sales uncollectible.

There are also $790,000 in sales of which all are on credit.

The Uncollectible estimate is therefore,

= 790,000 * 0.6%

= $4,740

This figure is then added to the debit amount on the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts.

= 4,470 + 700

= $5,440

Note; A debit balance on the Allowance for doubtful debt account signifies that the bad debts were higher than anticipated the last time. This is why the figure is added to the current bad debts expense.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

By answering more phone calls but providing worse service, you ARE being EFFICIENT but NOT <u>SATISFY CUSTOMERS' NEEDS</u>.

Explanation:

A worker's efficiency is measured by the total output per hour of labor. In this case, since you are answering more calls per hour, your efficiency is increasing (higher output per hour).

The quality of the service provided by a worker's is measured by the quality of their output (or performance), and if you satisfy your customers' needs. Since the service that you are providing is not that good, then your quality levels are decreasing.

You may be producing more services, but the services produced lack good quality.
