Answer:

Miyazaki Company

a. Analysis of transactions:

Sales in 2017 = $787,500

Credit Sales = $630,000 (80% of $787,500)

Total collections on account = $502,500

Uncollectibles written off =   $3,000

Unpaid balance for the year = $229,500 ($105,000 + $124,500)

b. a) Bad Debt Expense = $18,900

   b) Bad Debt Expense = $14,820

c. Net Realizable Value of Accounts Receivable on December 31:

                                                             a)                      b)

Unpaid balance for the year       $229,500      $229,500

Allowance for doubtful accounts    (18,900)          (14,820)

Net Realizable Value =                $210,600        $214,680

d. The recognition of bad debts expense does not have any direct effect on the net realizable value.  It is the Allowance for doubtful accounts that has a negative effect on the net realizable value.

The write-off of accounts reduces the net realizable value by $3,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Beginning balances:

Accounts receivable = $105,000

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $1,950

Sales in 2017 = $787,500

Credit Sales = $630,000 (80% of $787,500)

Total collections on account = $502,500

Uncollectibles written off =   $3,000

Unpaid balance for the year = $229,500 ($105,000 + $124,500)

Bad Debts Expense = $18,900 ($630,000 * 3%)

Allowance for Uncollectibles = $13,770 ($229,500 * 6%)

a) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

Account Titles               Debit        Credit

Beginning balance                        $1,950

Accounts receivable  $3,000

Bad Debts Expense                      18,900

Balance                       17,850

b) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

Account Titles               Debit        Credit

Beginning balance                        $1,950

Accounts receivable  $3,000

Bad Debts Expense                      14,820

Balance                       13,770

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

C) Recurrent Disability provision

Explanation:

The human body is a fantastic machine but sometimes when you have health problems they don't show up immediately.

For example you might get hit on the right side of your head severely and lose partial hearing from your right ear, but in a couple months you might notice that your short term memory has also been affected. Both disabilities were caused by the injury although one showed up before the other.

The insurance company has to provide the disability benefits without a new elimination period under the recurrent disability provision.

Dear Sir,

Complaint Lodgment Over an Unexpected Error in My Bill

This is to bring to your notice an unexpected error of $9 over charge in the consumable items I purchased from your store yesterday, 13 May 2020.

From my recalculation of the total amount for the purchased item, I could observed that the error was due to a transposition of figure by your cashier; he charged me a total sum of $76 instead of $67.

Copies of the invoice and the payment receipt for the items are hereby attached to this letter for your verification. After your verification, kindly get back to me so that I can come to your office for the refund.

I look forward to receiving your usual timely response.

Yours sincerely,

Amcool.
