Answer:

b) No, the correct entry would be a debit to Maintenance and Repairs Expense and a credit to Cash.

Explanation:

Any expense will be capitalized when it increases the capacity and efficiency of the asset. A routine repair cost is incurred in order to keep the asset operational to generate income for the business.

To record the repair cost we need to debit the Maintenance and Repairs Expense and crediting cash ( assumed cash payment is made for the repairs ). We should not capitalize this cost by debiting the asset cost account.

enot [183]

I shall replace the salesman after discovering that a salesman is receiving kickbacks from my largest customer, analog concerns.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the above mentioned scenario, the salesman is given a kickbacks - "advantages" for either the good relationship that they have maintained with the client or for luring them to always provide them the product/service with discounts.

So in this situation I would obviously replace the salesman because such situations cannot be ignored and there is no assurance that the salesman will not take kickbacks henceforth. And asking for a cut is ethically wrong as the salesman getting the kickbacks.

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Days of receivable will be 75 days

Explanation:

We have given net credit sales = $1200000

Net account receivable at the beginning = $290000

And receivable at the ending = $201000

Average receivable =\frac{290000+201000}{2}=$245500

Now receivables turnover ratio =\frac{credit\ sales}{average\ receivable}=\frac{1200000}{245500}=4.888

Days of receivables = \frac{365}{4.888}=74.67=75days
