The adjusting entries for acknowledging the bad debts would be:

a). Bad Debts Expense $50 640

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $50 640

b). Bad Debts Expense $48089.1

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $48089.1

Bad debts:

Bad debts are described as debts that are unable to be recovered from their respective debtors.

The key reasons for this could be:

The debtor is bankrupt and cannot pay the amount.
The debtor flees away and thus, can't be compelled to pay.

The given amounts are obtained as follows:

a). Given that,

Bad debts is 1.5% of credit sales.

Credit Sales = $3,376,000

Bad debts = 1.5% of $3,376,000

∵ Bad debts = 1.5/100 * $3,376,000

= $50 640

b). Given that,

Bad debts = 1 % of total sales.

Total Sales = Credit sale + Cash sale

= $3,376,000 + $1,432,910

= $4808910

Bad debts = 1% of 4808910

∵ Bad debts = 1/100 * $4808910

= $48089.1

Consider this problem: Fast Auto Service provides oil and lube service for cars. It is known that the mean time taken for oil an

astraxan [27]

Answer:

The maximum time guaranteed = 19.04 minutes.

Explanation:

From the given problem data, we have:

Let Y be the random variable which follows the normal distribution.

So,

Y ~ N(u = 15, SD = 2.4

Where, u = mean and SD = Standard Deviation

Let the maximum time guaranteed is = M

So,

P (Y > M) = 0.05 equation 1

Convert this equation 1 into standard normal variable, that is,

P(Y> M) = 0.05

1 - P(Y $\leq$ M) = 0.05

P(Y $\leq$ M) = 1 - 0.05

P(Y $\leq$ M) = 0.95

P $(\frac{Y-u}{SD} \leq \frac{M-u}{SD} )$ = 0.95

P ( Z $\leq \frac{M - 15}{2.4}$ ) = 0.95 Equation 2

From the equation 2, we have,

$\frac{M-15}{2.4}$ = 1.644853627

1.644853627 value is from using the function of Excel

( =NORSINV(0.95)) = 1.644853627

So,

M = 1.644853627 + 2.4 + 15

M = 19.04

Hence, the maximum time guaranteed = 19.04 minutes.
