Answer:

$60,500

Explanation:

With regards to the above, the write off does not affect the realizable value of accounts receivables. Also, the total asset or net income is not affected by the write off or specific account. Instead, both assets and net income are affected in the period when bad debt expense is predicted and then recorded with an adjusting entry.

Accounts receivables

$550,000

Less:

Allowance for doubtful account

($550,00 × 2.5%)

($13,750)

Estimated realizable accounts receivables

$536,250

If the amount of bad debt decreases or increases as given below, then the income is also increased or decreased by the amount given.

Bad debts = $13,750

Uncollectible previously written off = $8,800

Difference

$4,950

Net income

$60,500

Less:

Difference

($4,950)

Reported income

$55,550

Dr Equipment account             $11850

Cr Cash account                                          $14750

2018 Depreciation

Dr depreciation expense          $4800.83

Cr Accumulated depreciation                     $4800.83

Explanation:

There are two policies for depreciating non-current asset  especially when it is acquired part-way through the year like we have here, namely full year depreciation in the year of purchase and none in the year of disposal or proportional depreciation throughout the useful life,I am adopting the former in this question.

Formula for depreciation=cost-residual value/useful life

Yearly depreciation is ($57200-$0)/10=$5720

However,after two years the book value is calculated thus:

Book value=$57200-($5720*2)=$45760

additional cost incurred in enhancing the capacity of the asset would be added :  $45760 +$11,850=$57610

Since the useful life has also been reviewed up to 12 years, the depreciation from now on is $57610/12=$4800.83
