Answer: A target price for farm crops is an example of price floor because it’s fixed ahead of harvests with the interest of farmers in mind.
Explanation: A quick definition of both concepts would be of help. A price floor is usually fixed by government legislation and it ensures that the price of a commodity or service does not fall below a certain minimum. In the case of farm crops, a floor price makes sure that the farmers are guaranteed a level of profit in case there is poor harvest for any reason whatsoever. The price floor must be fixed above the equilibrium price for this to be effective.
A target price is an expectation of the future price of commodities or services, and hence prices are fixed ahead of the harvest in the case of farm crops. This is so because as explained earlier, future conditions might change and become unfavorable, therefore making the current market price unprofitable for farmers. If for example, a sack of potatoes currently sells for $30, the government may fix the price floor ahead of the harvest season at $45 per sack. This implies that after harvesting farmers can still sell at $30. However if the harvest turns out to be bad perhaps due to natural disasters, pests or fungal attacks, etc, then the farmers can go ahead and sell at $45 and possibly higher. No farmer is allowed to sell below $45 (since that is the ‘floor’). That way, farmers would still have some profit guaranteed and would be encouraged to remain in the farming business.
Answer:
The adjustment to record bad debts for the period will be:
Debit Bad debt expense ($20,000 - $3,000) $17,000
Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $17,000
<em>(Bad debt expense required)</em>
Explanation:
Bicylce Company adopts the aging of accounts receivable method. The aging of accounts receivable is a criterion for apportioning the balance in the accounts receivable into different buckets (aging), for example: Not due, 1 - 30 days, 30 - 60 days, over 60 days, based on historical information and assigning a credit loss percentage to each bucket.
Since the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a $3,000 credit, to calculate the required bad debt expense, we need to back out this amount from the amount that is deemed uncollectible, that is $20,000 - $3,000 = $17,000.
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 33,333.33 units
Explanation:
<em>The break-even point (BEP) is the quantity of each product to be sold such that the business makes no profit or loss. </em>
The beak-even point can be determined as follows:
The Break-even point in sales = Total general fixed cost / Contribution per unit margin
Contribution per unit = Contribution margin ration × selling price
= 40%×11.25 =4.5
The break-even point (in unit) = 150,000/ 4.5
=33,333.33
break-even point in units= 33,333.33 units
Answer:
$1,345
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Calistoga's final balance in its allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2021, is
First step is to calculate the Expense amount
Expense=Credit sales $315,000* .5%
Expense=$1,575
Second step is to calculate the Allowance
Allowance 12/31/2020 $1,650
Less Write-offs(1,880)
Allowance ($ 230)debit
Now let calculate the final balance in its allowance for uncollectible accounts
December 31, 2021 allowance for uncollectible accounts= ($230) + $1,575
December 31, 2021 allowance for uncollectible accounts=$1,345
Therefore Calistoga's final balance in its allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2021, is $1,345
