Answer:
Cost of goods sold is $7,700
Gross Profit is $2,300
Explanation:
Cost of goods sold is Cost of goods available for sale less ending merchandise inventory. Ending merchandise understated by $300 means ending merchandise was accounted $300 less. So, $300 need to be added to ending merchandise. No ending merchandise is $2,300 (2,000 + 300)
Cost of goods sold will be 10,000 - 2,300 = $7,700
Gross profit is sales revenue less cost of goods sold which is computed as shown below:
Gross profit = 10,000 - 7,700
= $2,300

Answer:
Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)
Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)
Explanation:
This is an example of provision for doubtful debts. Provision for doubtful debts is an estimated amount of bad debts from accounts receivables that has been issues but not yet collected. This is done under the accrual accounting concept where an expense is identified as soon as invoices have been issued rather than waiting long periods to find out which invoice is irrecoverable. It is typically an estimate based on past experience.
In this question, the sales value has not been provided, hence an assumption is made:
Sales : $200,000
If provision for doubtful debts is 1% of sales and all sales is on credit, then the provision for doubtful debts amount is = 1% x $200,000 = $2000
Provision for doubtful debts is an accounts receivable contra account and thus has a credit balance and is recorded in the balance sheet, listed directly under accounts receivables.
The entry is recorded as:
Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)
Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)
