Answer:
(a) What was the total of accounts written off during the first 11 months?
bad debts written for the first 11 months = allowance for bad debt accounts January 1 balance + bad debt expense - allowance for bad debt accounts November 30 balance = $13,085 + $21,937 - $9,919 = $25,103
(b) As the result of a comprehensive analysis, it is determined that the December 31, 2010, balance of the Allowance for Bad Debts account should be $9,450. Show the adjustment required in the journal entry format.Allowance for bad debt Debit $Bad debt expenses Credit $
to determine the amount of bad debt expense that must be adjusted, we must subtract the estimated balance in December 31 from the balance in November 30 = $9,919 - $9,450 = $469. Since the November 30 amount is larger, it means that we over estimated our bad debt expense and it must be reduced:
Dr Allowance for doubtful accounts 469
Cr Accounts receivable 469

Answer:
The retained earning would be debited by ($60,000)
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Number of shares outstanding=60,000
par value of $5 per share
stock dividend declared=cc
Therefore, to calculate the amount either (debited) or credited to retained earnings we would have to make the followin calculation:
Dividend value=Number of shares outstanding×par value of $5 per share×stock dividend declared
Dividend value=60,000×$5×20%
Dividend value=($60,000)
Therefore, as the dividend paid reduces retained earnings, the retained earning would be debited by ($60,000)
