February 1:
Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts $431
Credit Accounts receivables $431
June 5:
Debit Cash $431
Credit Bad debt recovery (income statement) $431
Explanation: The company estimates its bad debt expense as percentage of sales. In this case 0.7% of its annual sales of $862,000 was deemed as uncollectible, that is, 0.7% x $862,000 = $6,034. The required journals to recognize this bad debt expense is provided above. However, since there was an existing provision, which resides in the allowance account, a write-off would definitely hit that account in order to extinguish the accounts receivable portion. Upon recovery of the write-off, we cannot reinstate the receivable since it was already extinguished but we need to recognize the recovery as a gain.

Capital structure refers to the the blend or mix of different sources of capital a firm avails to raise funds. Such as debt and equity.
As per MM proposition 2, the expected yield of a stock is equal to equity capitalization rate plus an additional compensation for risk assumed by employment of debt in the capital structure due to which the debt-equity ratio rises.
As proportion of debt is increased in the capital structure, the earnings available to stockholders rise but this rise is offset by the rise in the expectation of shareholders which offsets the effect and thus value of firm remains the same.
Return on equity is given by 
Thus, as the return on equity increases , the amount of equity in capital structure decreases as this net income rises owing to employment of more and more debt in the capital structure.
Answer:
option (a) $2,052 U
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Ramkissoon Midwifery's cost formula for its wages and salaries
= $2,060 per month + $442 per birth
Total number of births = 117
Actual births = 114
Actual wages and salaries for the month = $54,500
Now,
Spending variance = standard cost - Actual cost
or
= ( $2,060 × 1 ) + ( $442 × 114 ) - $54,500
= $2,060 + $50,388 - $54,500
= - $2052 or $2,052 U
Hence,
The answer is option (a) $2,052 U
