Answer:

a. The effect is that Avery Company’s operating profit will increase by $182,000 if the transfer is made internally.

b. Minimum transfer price = $9

c. Maximum transfer price from Bishop’s perspective = $16.

Explanation:

a. What will be the effect on Avery Company’s operating profit if the transfer is made internally?

To determine this, fixed cost is ignored because it considered irrelevant. Therefore, we have:

Profit per unit = Purchase price from outside - Variable cost of production internally = $16 - $9 = $7

Total increment in operating profit = Current purchase unit of Bishop * Profit per unit = 26,000 * $7 = $182,000

Therefore, Avery Company’s operating profit will increase by $182,000 if the transfer is made internally.

b. What is the minimum transfer price from Polk’s perspective?

Since Polk is currently operating at less than its full capacity, this implies that it will not incur additional fixed cost to produce current purchase units of Bishop. Therefore, only its variable cost of $9 will have to recovered. By implication, we have:

Minimum transfer price = Variable cost = $9

c. What is the maximum transfer price from Bishop’s perspective?

Any price that is higher than $16 at which Bishop is currently purchasing from an outside supplier will result in a loss for Bishop and the increment profit of $182,000 will be lost by Avery Company. This therefore implies that:

Maximum transfer price from Bishop’s perspective = Price at which Bishop is currently purchasing from an outside supplier = $16

At the end of 2019, Bramble Corp. has accounts receivable of $740,200 and an allowance for doubtful accounts of $69,900. On Janu
ki77a [65]

Answer:

  • The journal to record the write-off is:

         Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts            $6,400

         Credit Accounts receivable                               $6,400

  • Cash realizable value of the accounts receivable (1) before the write-off is $670,300 (2) after the write-off is $670,300.

Explanation:

  • The write-off would impact the allowance for doubtful accounts and the accounts receivable since Bramble Corp. uses the allowance method. See the journals as recorded above.
  • The balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts would have reduced by $6,400 upon the write-off, so did the balance in the accounts receivable, so the effect of the write-off evens out. That led to the cash realizable value of $670,300.
