Answer:

Given that,

Accounts receivable = $435,000

Debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = 1,250

Credit Net Sales = 2,100,000

Ending account receivable to be uncollectible = 3.5%

Estimated bad debts:

= Accounts Receivable × 3.5% + Debit balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

= (435,000 × 3.5%) + 1,250

= $16,475

Therefore, the journal entry is as follows:

Bad debts expense A/c        Dr.  $16,475

To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts         $16,475

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The total amount of administrative cost to the Accounting Department is $ 14,900.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the total amount of administrative cost to the Accounting Department, first we need to calculate the Utilization Ratio of the particulars, using the following formua:

Utilization Ratio=(Total amount particular/Utilised by accounting department)

Hence, the Utilization Ratio of Administration costs =(50/280)

                                                                                    =0.178

             the Utilization Ratio of Maintenance fee =(12,000/36,000)=0.33

             the Utilization Ratio of Utilities=(12,000/36,000)=0.33

Therefore, the total amount of administrative cost to the Accounting Department=(0.178×$50,000)+(0.33×$12,000)+(0.33×$6,000)

                  =$8,900+$4,000+$2,000

                  =$14,900
