Answer:

$69,000

Explanation:

The double-declining method uses twice the rate of the straight-line depreciation method.  

In this case, we need to determine the depreciation rate under the straight-line method. The asset has a useful life of 5 years.

the depreciation rate = 1/5 x 100

=0.2 x 100

=20%

The Depreciation rate for the double-declining method is 40%. The straight-line method considers salvage value at the beginning, but double-declining depreciates until the salvage value.

In the first year under the double-declining method, the depreciation amount was $27,600.

It means 40% of the asset cost is $27,600.

The asset cost is 100%

40%=$27,600

100% = 27,600/40 x 100

=$690 x 100

=$69,000

Asset cost = $69,000

Cr Accounts Receivable   $ 3,100

  • (d) Prepare the entry to record bad debt expense for the period.

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 20,200  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 20,200

Explanation:

  • Initial Balance  

Dr Accounts Receivable   $ 200.000

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 9.000

  • During the period, it had net credit sales of $800,000  

Dr Accounts Receivable  $ 800.000  

Cr Sales  $ 800.000

  • Collections of $763,000  

Dr Cash $ 763.000  

Cr Accounts Receivable   $ 763.000

  • It wrote off as uncollectible accounts  

Dr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 7.300  

Cr Accounts Receivable   $ 7.300

  • A $3,100 account previously written off as uncollectible was recovered  

Dr Accounts Receivable  $ 3.100  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 3.100

Dr Cash $ 3.100  

Cr Accounts Receivable   $ 3.100

  • Assuming 5% of accounts receivable, the journal entry:  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 20.200  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 20.200

  • FINAL Balance  

Dr Accounts Receivable  $ 229.700  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 25.000

Bad accounts are those credits granted by the company and there is no possibility of being charged.

When customers buy products on credits but the company cannot collect the debt, then it's necessar to cancel the unpaid invoice as uncollectible.

One way is to directly cancel bad debts at the time it was decided that the credit is bad, the total amount reported as bad debt expenses negatively affect the income statement and the accounts receivable are reduced by the same amount, less assets

The other way is to determine a percentage of the total amount of accounts receivable as bad debts, there are many ways to analyze accounts receivable and calculate the value of bad debts.

When the company has the percentage of uncollectible accounts, the required journal entry is Bad Expenses (debit) with Reserve for Bad Accounts (credit)

At the time of cancellation, since the expenses were recognized before, we only use the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Debit)  with accounts receivable (credit), with this we are recognizing the bad credit of the company.

Discuss how the JIT concept differs between manufacturing and service companies.
mylen [45]

Similar to manufacturing, services use methods that add value to the raw materials required to make the finished product. JIT emphasizes the process rather than the end result. Therefore, it may be applied to any set of processes, whether they are involved in manufacturing or providing services.

In the context of the industrial and service industries, the Just in Time (JIT) system: Companies use just-in-time (JIT) inventory strategies to boost productivity and cut waste by only ordering products when they are actually needed for manufacturing, which lowers inventory expenses.

Between service and manufacturing organizations, there are five key differences: the tangible nature of their output; production on demand or for inventory; production tailored to the needs of a particular customer; labour-intensive or automated operations; and the requirement for a physical production location.

In reality, though, service and industrial firms have a lot in common. Many manufacturers have their own service departments, and both industries need trained workers to run a successful organization.
