Answer:

<u>To calculate the number of years required to reach the objective, we need to use the following formula:</u>

n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)

Answer:

The Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts at December 31, 2017 is $10,430

Explanation:

In order to calculate the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts at December 31, 2017 we would have to make the following calculation:

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts at December 31, 2017=Estimated Allowance 1-30 days+Estimated Allowance 31-60 days+Estimated Allowance 61-90 days+Estimated Allowance over 90 days

Estimated Allowance 1-30 days=Balance*% Uncollectible

Estimated Allowance 1-30 days=$152,000*1%=$1,520

Estimated Allowance 31-60 days=$87,000*2%=$1,740

Estimated Allowance 61-90 days=$50,000*3%=$1,500

Estimated Allowance over 90 days=$27,000*21%=$5,670

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts at December 31, 2017=$1,520+$1,740+$1,500+$5,670

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts at December 31, 2017=$10,430

Vilka [71]

Answer:

$28,800

Explanation:

I will just assume that there are three equal annual principal payments of $480,000. If we use $550,000, the total principal would = $1,650,000.

accrued interests from September to December = principal x (9%/12) x 4 months

principal = $480,000 x 2 = $960,000

accrued interest payable  = $960,000 x 0.75% x 4 = $28,800

In 2021, CPS Company changed its method of valuing inventory from the FIFO method to the average cost method. At December 31, 20
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Entry to record adjustment:

COGS Dr $9.4m

         Inventory Cr $9.4m

Explanation:

The question relates to a change in accounting policy. According to IAS 8 (changes in accounting policy and estimate), a change in accounting policy is to be reflected retrospectively and prospectively, which means any changes should be implemented by bringing changes in the past records. Since CPS company has been using FIFO method, the inventory has been overstated in the financial statements. A shift to AVCO has resulted in a decrease in inventory value.

The value of inventory has to be reduced as a result of change in accounting policy (i.e $38m - $28.6m). This is the closing inventory so a reduction in the value of closing inventory results in an increase in cost of goods sold (COGS), therefore, the adjusting entry will be aimed at reducing inventory and increasing cost of goods sold, see as follows:

Entry:

COGS Dr $9.4m

         Inventory Cr $9.4m
