Answer:

Wei Company

Journal Entry:

Debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $7,800

Credit Accounts Receivable $7,800

To write-off accounts determined to be uncollectible.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (Balance) = $35,000

Uncollectible accounts:

Oakley Co. $1,400

Brookes Co. $6,400

Total = $7,800

Answer:

b. protects the current shareholders against a dilution of their ownership interests.

Explanation:

Shares are ownership interests that are owned by business owners and measures the degree to which an individual has a stake in a company.

Preemtive right occurs when a shareholder has a right to purchase a particular portion of newly issued shares.

For example if an individual has 40,000 shares and additional 250,000 shares are issued, he can have the right to purchase an additional 30,000 of the new shares.

The preemtive right prevents dilution of ownership interests by ensuring old stockholders have a stake in newly issued shares.

In one of the case studies in the textbook, Ernie Phillips was a CPA who had fallen on hard times both financially and personall
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The fraud was discovered Option D: The operations manager found a check made payable to Phillips while searching Phillips' desk for some accounting records.

Explanation:

In the given case study, Ernie Phillips had got a job as a 'controller'. He had started writing checks to himself other than the payroll checks.

This fraud can be discovered when the operations manager found a check on Phillips desk which was payable to himself and it was other than the payroll check. Thus, Option D is the statement as an answer.

Cancelled checks do not have to do anything with the fraud, as per Option A, because cancelled checks are never cleared in the bank. The receiver doesn't usually receive a call before check clearance. So, Option B is also incorrect. No error was there in the check as stated in Option C.

kaheart [24]

Answer:

a. Reversal entry:

Debit Rent expense $4,650

Credit Miscellaneous Expense $4,650

Correct Entry:

Debit Rent expense $4,650

Credit Cash $4,650

b. Reversal entry:

Debit Accounts payable $3,700

Credit Cash $3,700

Correct Entry

Debit Cash $3,700

Credit Accounts Receivable $3,700

Explanation:

Reverse entry is to simply close to zero the original entry that has been made in mistake. Afterwards, record the correct entry to properly account the transaction.

To reverse the previously made entry, we simply debit what is credited and debit what is credited.

a. We need to close the rent expense credited by debiting it and credit the miscellaneous expense that is previously debited to zereod out the mistake recording. Then to record the correct entry, Debit Rent expense and Credit Cash at the amount $4,650

b. Just ike what we did on the previous transaction, we will debit the Accounts payable and credit the cash that has been recorded by mistake to zereod out the balance and then make the correct entry. Debit Cash $3,700 and credit Accounts receivable $3,700.
