Exercise 5-66 Bad Debt Expense: Percentage of Credit Sales Method Gilmore Electronics had the following data for a recent year:
Stels [109]

Answer:  Debit Bad debt expense $11,264, Credit Allowance for bad debt $11,264; Debit Allowance for bad debt $9,650, Credit Accounts receivable $9,650.

Explanation: Percentage of credit sales method means bad debt expense expressed as a percentage of sales.

The estimated bad debts rate is 2.2%, which translates to 2.2% of $512,000 (credit sales) = $11,264. The firm has to record this, being the estimated bad debts rate, as Debit to bad debt expense and Credit to allowance for bad debt. However, accounts receivable that was deemed uncollectible is $9,650. This amount would be taken out from the buffer in allowance account by debiting allowance for bad debt and crediting accounts receivable.

ipn [44]

Answer - A (7 years)


WORKINGS

To calculate how long it would take for the new refrigerator to pay for itself in lower utility costs, the cost of new refrigerator will be divided by lower utility cost per year

 

Cost of new refrigerator = $598

 

TO CALCULATE LOWER UTILITY COST PER YEAR

At a cost of only 12 cents per day

Annual cost will be 12 X 365 = 4380 Cents ($43.8)

 

Cost saved annually = Cost of old refrigerator – Cost of new refrigerator.

Lower utility cost per year = $132 – $43.8

Lower utility cost per year = $88.2

 

How long would it take for the new refrigerator to pay for itself in lower utility costs?

$598 ÷ $88.2

= 6.78 years

Approximately 7 years

12) A particular species of North American frog is most comfortable within a temperature range of 20 oC- 40 oC. A mating pair is
meriva

Answer:

The male frog would join the female frog in the water poodle

Explanation:

Mathematically,

Let x = temperature the 10000 joules from sun Ray would raise the temperature of the copper

So therefore:

10000 = m * (x - 33°) * Spc

Where m = mass of copper = 400g

Spc = specific heat capacity of copper = 0.387j/g/°c

So

400 * ( x - 33) * 0.387 = 10000

( x - 33 ) = 10000/ (400 * 0 387)

x = 97.6 °c

Temp for water where m = mass of water = 100g

x¹ = temperature the sun Ray of 10000 joules would raise the temp of water too.

Spw = specific heat capacity of water = 4.184j/g/°c

So therefore;

100 * ( x¹ - 33 ) * 4.184 = 10000joules

x¹ - 33 = 10000/ (100 * 4.184)

x¹ = 56.9°c

Since x for the male frog is greater than x¹ for the female frog, the male frog would be more uncomfortable because it's environmental temp is far higher than the comfort zone tem which is 20° to 40°c so it would move to join the female frog.
