Answer:

The correct answer is:

5.0 percent deflation between the first and second years, and 3.0 percent deflation between the second and third years. (a)

Explanation:

to calculate the percentage deflation, we will simply calculate the percentage change in price between the years stated. This is calculated as follows:

% change = \%\ change = \frac{P_2 - P_1}{P_1} \times 100\\where:\\P_1 = initial\ price\ index\\P_2 = New\ price\ index\\for\ first\ and\ second\ years\\\therefore \%\ change = \frac{142.5 - 150}{150} = \frac{-7.5}{150}= -0.05  \times 100 = -5\%\\

Note that the negative sign shows a deflation.

if you use the same method for years two and three, you should get -3%, using P₁ as 142.5 and p₂ as 138.2. Hence option 'a' is correct.

Hale Company sells merchandise on account for $1,000 to Long Company with credit terms of 2/10, n/30. Long Company returns $200
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Amount of Check = $784

so correct option is a. $784

Explanation:

given data

Merchandise on account = $1,000

Long Company returns  = $200

credit terms =  2/10

n/30

to find out

What is the amount of the check

solution

we know here that Total Merchandise will be

Total Merchandise = Merchandise on account  - returns   ....................1

Total Merchandise = $1000 - $200

Total Merchandise = $800

and

discount will be here

Discount = 0.02  ×  800

returns = $16

so

Amount of Check will be as

Amount of Check = Total Merchandise - Discount   ...................2

put here value

Amount of Check = Total Merchandise - Discount  

Amount of Check = $800 - $16

Amount of Check = $784

so correct option is a. $784

Prepare the adjusting entry to record bad debts expense assuming uncollectibles are estimated to be (1) 3% of credit sales, (2)
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

1.

Date                   Account Title                                             Debit          Credit

Dec. 31             Bad debt expense                                    $9,000

                        Allowance for doubtful accounts                                 $9,000

Working

= 3% * 300,000

= $9,000

2.

Date                   Account Title                                             Debit          Credit

Dec. 31             Bad debt expense                                    $12,000

                        Allowance for doubtful accounts                              $12,000

Working

= 1% * total debt

= 1% * (900,000 + 300,000)

= $12,000

3.

Date                   Account Title                                             Debit          Credit

Dec. 31             Bad debt expense                                    $12,500

                        Allowance for doubtful accounts                              $12,500

Working

= 6% * Accounts receivable

= 6% * 125,000

= $7,500

As the Allowance account is in debit, it means that bad debt exceeded the allowance so this balance needs to be added to properly cater for bad debts.

= 7,500 + 5,000

= $12,500
