Answer:

A) 14.72 hours

B)  An additional worker should be hired since the lost work time is 14.72 hours

Explanation:

Number of machines on manufacturing line = 8

percentage of machine been down = 23%

number of workers capable of running and repairing machines = 2

machine productivity ( per machine ) = 18 units/hour

overhead cost / machine = $713

hourly rate paid per worker  = $15

Total number of work hours = 8 hour

A) calculate Total amount of lost worktime

 = number of machines * Total number of work hours * 23%

= 8 * 8 * 23% = 14.72  hours

B) An additional worker should be hired since the lost work time is 14.72 hours

In the balance sheet at the end of its first year of operations, Dinty Inc. reported an allowance for uncollectible accounts of
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The correct option is 2. $50,200

Explanation:

Please see below the required journals for the transactions that occurred:

Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts             $31,800

Credit Accounts receivable                                $31,800

(<em>To record write-off of accounts receivable)</em>

Debit Accounts receivable                           $2,340,000

Credit Sales revenue                                    $2,340,000

<em>(To record credit sales during the year)</em>

Debit Cash                                                      $1,910,000

Credit Accounts receivable                           $1,910,000

<em>(To record collection on account)</em>

  • The effect of the above journals on allowance for doubtful account is a reduction. Since Dinty already assessed its allowance for doubtful account to be $82,000, bad debt expense required will be $50,200 ($82,000 - $31,800).
  • The balance in accounts receivable will be $2,340,000 - $1,910,000 - $31,800 = $398,200.
