Answer:
1. What was the balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020?
= allowance for doubtful accounts 2020 / 10% = $28,000 / 10% = $280,000
2. What journal entry should Johnson record to recognize bad debt expense for 2021?
Dr Bad debt expense (= 46,670 + 51,300) 97,970
Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts 97,970
3. Assume Johnson made no other adjustment of the allowance for uncollectible accounts during 2021. Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021.
= credit balance allowance for doubtful accounts January 1 + debit balance allowance for doubtful accounts December 31 = $28,000 + $51,300 = $79,300
4. If Johnson instead used the direct write-off method, what would the bad debt expense be
The bad debt expense would equal $79,300. The allowance for doubtful accounts is used as an estimate of future bad debt expense, while the direct write off method directly writes off bad debt as they occur.
Explanation:
beginning balance of allowance for doubtful accounts $28,000
gross accounts receivable $466,700 x 10% = $46,670 bad debt
before adjustments, the allowance for doubtful accounts had a debit balance of $51,300
Liability policies, such as personal liability, professional malpractice, or business liability insurance, do NOT protect the insured against a. a personal injury on the insured's property, such as the mail carrier who slips and falls on the owner's sidewalk. b. intentional harm caused by the insured. c. someone injured by the insured away from home or business. d. claims for property damaged by the insured.
Answer:
b. intentional harm caused by the insured.
Explanation:
Liability insurance is a means to provide the insured party with some protection against claims resulting from injuries and damage to people or property, covering both legal costs and any payouts for which the insured party would be responsible if found legally liable.
Note that there are two types of liability coverage: bodily injury and property damage. Most states in the US require liability coverages, subject to limits, which is the maximum amount the insurer will pay when the incident occurs. For example, a car accident can be expensive. This is why there is a limit of compensation which an insurer can offer.
Jayne Butterfield, a single mother with three children, lived in Sacramento, California. Sarah Huckleberry also lived in California until she moved to New York City to open and operate an art gallery. Huckleberry asked Butterfield to manage the gallery under a one-year contract for an annual salary of $90,000. To begin work, Butterfield relocated to New York. As part of the move, Butterfield transferred custody of her children to her husband, who lived in London, England. In accepting the job, Butterfield also forfeited her husband's alimony and child-support payments, including unpaid amounts of nearly $45,000. Before Butterfield started work, Huckleberry repudiated the contract. Unable to find employment for more than an annual salary of $30,000, Butterfield moved to London to be near her children. She filed a suit in an California state court against Huckleberry, seeking damages for breach of contract. Should the court hold, as Huckleberry argued, that Butterfield did not take reasonable steps to mitigate her damages? Why or why not?
Answer:
No, the court should not hold in favor of Huckleberry.
Explanation:
The rule of mitigation that Huckleberry tries to use in her favor states that the non-breaching party (Butterfield) should have taken all the necessary steps to reduce her loss, e.g. take a job in New York. She probably argued that Butterfield leaving for England to meet with her children made things worse.
But in this case, Butterfield relied on Huckleberry's promise to organize her life and the well being of her children. Butterfield made a lot of changes and sacrifices in her life because of this, e.g. forfeiting unpaid alimony, transferring custody of her children , etc.
Moving to a different city or country requires a lot of work, expat life is not easy and not everyone can handle it. Butterfield took decisions that affected the lives of many people and she is not responsible for Huckleberry's breaching, the only party responsible for all this mess is Huckleberry and it is normal that Butterfield would want to go to where her children are.
Jolene hired Lacy to find a buyer for her house. Adam was interested in buying the house. If both Jolene and Adam agree, Lacy, a real estate agent, may represent both parties.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Lacy can represent both parties. If Lacy represents both parties this is known as dual agency.
As the “dual” agent Lacy handles all of the communications, paperwork, and negotiations between both parties, that is the buyer and seller who happens to be Jolene and Adam. She is supposed to remain neutral as the facilitator of the deal with no fiduciary duty to either side. Fiduciary duty is to uphold a client's interest in good faith an trust.

Steven has a typed copy of a contract, which he would like to have Thomas sign. Thomas, who needs glasses to read typing, doesn't want to sign until he has read the document, but Steven convinces Thomas to sign it anyway, because it is a "standard" contract for this type of situation. Is the contract which Thomas signed binding upon him?
Answer:
Yes, because he was negligent in not ascertaining its contents
Explanation:
Based on the information provided regarding the scenario at hand it can be said that Yes, this contract is binding upon Thomas because he was negligent in not ascertaining its contents. Each individual is responsible for completely reading and fully understanding the contents of the contract before they sign. Once an individual signs the contract it means that they fully agree with all that is specified in the contract and are held liable. Thomas should have waited until he had his glasses and read the contract before signing, regardless of what Steven had to say.
Review the "Types of Distribution Channels" study material. Explain why the selection of distribution channels is essential to a successful marketing strategy. Provide an example of a well-known company's distribution channels and defend their choices. In replies to peers, agree or disagree with their assessment and justify your response.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although the question does not provide a specific text, we can say that the selection of distribution channels is essential to a successful marketing strategy because that is how companies deliver their products to consumers. This is of key importance due to the fact that there are numerous competitors selling the same or similar products so the company has to be precise and effective in delivering the product to match the client's expectations.
One good example of a successful company would be Underarmour. This Maryland company sells its products through direct distribution, uses intermediaries and brokers, has open many outlets where the company sells direct to the consumer, and also sells products through e-commerce portals. You can find Underarmour apparel in big chain stores, fashion stores, the internet, and sports stores.
Depreciation associated with a project will: Answer A. cause incremental cash flows to increase B. only affect the fixed asset account as depreciation is a sunk cost C. have no effect on incremental cash flows D. cause incremental operating cash flows to decrease
Answer: A. cause incremental cash flows to increase
Explanation:
Incremental Cashflow (ICF) is the added cash that a company gets from embarking on a project which means that this Cashflow must be independent of expenses. If ICF is positive then the company will see it's Cashflow increase if they accept the project because it will contribute to their cash flow.
ICF is calculated from the Net Income of the project but seeing as Depreciation is a non-cash expense that is removed from the Income Statement. In calculating ICF it is added back as ICF deals with actual cash and Depreciation did not cost any actual cash.
More Depreciation therefore means an increase in Incremental Cash flow when it is being calculated from Net Income.
Fortune, Inc., is preparing its master budget for the first quarter. The company sells a single product at a price of $25 per unit. Sales (in units) are forecasted at 39,000 for January, 59,000 for February, and 49,000 for March. Cost of goods sold is $12 per unit. Other expense information for the first quarter follows. Commissions 11 % of sales dollars Rent $ 20,000 per month Advertising 12 % of sales dollars Office salaries $ 74,000 per month Depreciation $ 49,000 per month Interest 11 % annually on a $270,000 note payable Tax rate 40 % Prepare a budgeted income statement for this first quarter. (Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
Budgeted Income Statement For Quarter Ended March 31
Sales $3,675,000
Cost of goods sold $1,764,000
Gross profit $1,911,000
Operating expenses
Commissions expense $404,250
Rent expense $60,000
Advertising expense $441,000
Office salaries expense $222,000
Depreciation expense $147,000
Interest expense $ 7,425
Total operating expenses $1,281,675
Income before taxes $629,325
Income tax expense $251,730
Net income $ 377,595
Explanation:
Commissions 11 % of sales dollars
Rent $ 20,000 per month
Advertising 12 % of sales dollars
Office salaries $ 74,000 per month
Depreciation $ 49,000 per month
Interest 11 % annually on a $270,000 note payable
Tax rate 40%
Sales = Number of units for first quarter × price per unit
= (39,000 + 59,000 + 49,000) × $25
= $3,675,000
Cost of goods = (39,000 + 59,000 + 49,000) × $12
= $1,764,000
Commissions expense = 11 % of sales = 11% × $3,675,000 = $404,250
Advertising expense = 12 % of sales = 12% × $3,675,000 = $441,000
Interest expense = 11 % annually on a $270,000
= 11% × 270,000 × 3/12
= $ 7,425
Income = Gross profit - total operating expenses
= $1,911,000 - $1,281,675
= $629,325
Income tax expenses = 40% × $629,325 = $251,730

500000 80518 8
250000 10% 4
Answer:
A) $11,978.10
B) 9%
C) 15 years
D) 6%
E) $78,866.84
Explanation:
Present Value Annuity Amount i = n =
A 3000 8% 5
242980 75000 B 4
161214 20000 9% C
500000 80518 D 8
250000 E 10% 4
A = $3,000 x 3.9927 = $11,978.10
B: annuity factor = $242,980 / $75,000 = 3.23973
using the annuity table, a 9% annuity for 4 years has a factor = 3.2397
C: annuity factor = $161,214 / $20,000 = 8.0607
using the annuity table, a 9% annuity for 15 years has a factor = 8.0607
D: annuity factor = $500,000 / $80,518 = 6.20979
using the annuity table, a 6% annuity for 8 years has a factor = 6.2098
E: annuity payment = present value / annuity factor = $250,000 / 3.1699 (annuity factor 10%, 4 years) = $78,866.84

41. Using the degree of operating leverage and without changing anything in your worksheet, calculate the percentage change in net operating income if unit sales increase by 20%.
if unit sales increase by 20%, then profits should increase by 80%2. Confirm your calculations in Requirement 3 above by increasing the unit sales in your worksheet by 20%
A. What is net operating income?
(10,000 x 1.2 x $20) - (10,000 x 1.2 x $8) - $90,000 = $240,000 - $96,000 - $90,000 = $54,000B. By what percentage did the net operating income increase?
net operating income increased from $30,000 to $54,000 (an 80% increase)Explanation:
selling price $20
variable costs $8
contribution margin $12
break even point = $90,000 / $12 = 7,500 x $20 = $150,000
margin of safety = (current sales - break even) / current sales = $50,000 / $200,000 = 25%
degree of operating leverage = (quantity x contribution margin) / [(quantity x contribution margin) - fixed costs] = (10,000 x $12) / ($120,000 - $90,000) = $120,000 / $30,000 = 4
or contribution margin / net profits = $120,000 / $30,00 = 4

900 x 2% = 18
net of discount 900 - 18 = 882
Boden:
6,000 x 1% = 60
Net of discount 6,000 - 60 = 5,940
Leight:
2,200 - 2,000 = 2,000 balance due
2,000 x 2% = 40
net of discount 1,960

Particulars %
Units completed 620,000 100 % 620,000
Add Ending WIP 180,000 70 % 126,000
Total Equivalent Units 746,000
The total Equivalent units are obtained by adding the percent of the units in the ending work in process inventory to the units completed and transferred out. This is the average weighted method of finding the equivalent units.
As only conversion is required we found out the conversion units only.
Bill Phillips is developing a Monte Carlo simulation to value a complex and thinly traded security. Phillips wants to model one input variable to have negative skewness and a second input variable to have positive excess kurtosis. In a Monte Carlo simulation, Phillips can appropriately use:_________
Answer: Both of them
Explanation:
The Monte Carlo Simulation is a forecasting technique that allows one to find out the probability of occurence of different outcomes which may be difficult to come up with because there are multiple random variables involved.
Monte Carlo simulations are used in many diverse fields such as Finance, Engineering and Science.
As earlier mentioned, this simulation allows for multiple random variables so Phillips can use it to model both the variables to have different characteristics.
Assume the profit margin is projected to increase to 9 percent while the dividend payout ratio remains constant. If sales increase by 12 percent, what is the projected total retained earnings (hint: add the additional RE onto the current RE)? Currently, the firm’s sales =$4,700, net income is $420, total assets=7890, dividends=125, A/P =790, LTD= 3130, and common stock=2780, and retained earnings =1190.
Answer:
The projected retained earnings are $1538.76
Explanation:
Profit margin=net income/sales
profit margin is 9%
sales growth rate is 12%
9%=net income/($4,700*(1+12%))
9%=net income/5264
9%*5264=net income
net income=$473.76
Projected total retained earnings=$1190+$473.76-$125=$1538.76

Strawberry Fields purchased a tractor at a cost of $40,000 and sold it two years later for $25,000. Strawberry Fields recorded depreciation using the straight-line method, a five-year service life, and an $6,000 residual value.
1. What was the gain or loss on the sale?2. Record the sale using a general journal entry.
Answer:
1.Loss on sale 1,400
2.Dr Cash 25,000
Dr Accumulated Depreciation 13,600
Dr Loss on sale 1,400
Cr Equipment - Tractor 40,000
Explanation:
1.Calculation of the gain or loss on the sale of Strawberry Fields
Using this formula
Depreciation per year = (Cost - Salvage value)/Useful life
= (40,000-6,000)/5
=34,000/5
= 6,800 per year
The Book value after two years will be:
40,000 - (6,800*2)
=40,000-13,600
=26,400
Gain(Loss) = Cash received - Book value
= 25,000 - 26,400
Loss on sale 1,400
2.Record of the sale using a general journal entry
Dr Cash 25,000
Dr Accumulated Depreciation 13,600
Dr Loss on sale 1,400
Cr Equipment - Tractor 40,000
Jake, a pharmaceutical sales representative, often takes lunch to doctors' offices. Over lunch with the doctors and their staffs, he reviews his company's products. Jake does not try to close a sale during these lunches. What type of personal selling does this describe
Answer:
The correct answer is: order-creaters.
Explanation:
To begin with, the area of personal selling there are three types of different approaches regarding the sales person and his proper way of selling. According to this theory, one of those types is the one named "order-creaters" and that concept comprehends the type of sellers that primarily focos on not to close the sale, but to persuade the regular customer to promote the product to other clients from the same audience. Therefore that Jake, when goes to have launch in the same place as the doctors, even though he does not want to make a sale, he is looking forward to establish a relationship that later favoured him in promoting the product.
Rogers Inc. has provided the following data for the month of June. There were no beginning inventories; consequently, the direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead applied listed below are all for the current month.
Work in process Finished goods Cost of goods sold Total
Direct materials $2,380 16790 43930 $63,100

Explanation:
Solution
Many state bar affiliations have looked to make their advertising guidelines increasingly rigid, apparently in light of the fact that the picture of the legal calling has been enduring lately.
This example tries to clarify these changes endeavors by looking at whether bar affiliations are reacting to requests of individuals as exhibited by mentalities towards advertising, just as by their advertising practices.
For example let us take the case of law firm Bates where U.S Preeminent Court choices are not having their expected impacts and that advertising by legal advisors is misdirecting and compounding, making an atmosphere ready for change
Then again, the choices may be having their expected impacts of driving down costs and permitting youthful firms/lawyers to look for customers all the more adequately.
Utilizing study information of little firm legal advisors accumulated in four states before the change development got a lot of consideration, the proof recommends neither of these clarifications represents endeavors to make advertising progressively troublesome.
The little firm legal counselors, those suggested to profit by Bates and ensuing choices, have not changed their conduct in any calculable way.
Most advertising is in the business catalog and costs practically nothing, also mentalities toward advertising are not especially ideal.

On February 22, Brett Corporation acquired 250 shares of its $3 par value common stock for $26 each. On March 15, the company resold 66 shares for $29 each. What is true of the entry for reselling the shares
Answer: Credit Additional Paid in Capital $198
Explanation:
Brett Corporation reissued the Treasury Stock at $29 which was $3 higher than the amount they had repurchased it for.
When stock is sold for a price higher or lower than they are worth, the balance goes to the Additional Paid-in Capital account. If it is sold higher, the balance is Credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account and if it is sold for lower than it is worth, it is debited.
The Balance here is,
= $3 * 66 resold shares
= $198
This $198 will therefore be credited to the Additional Paid-in Capital account.
At the beginning of the period, the Cutting Department budgeted direct labor of $136,000, direct materials of $150,000 and fixed factory overhead of $11,900 for 8,000 hours of production. The department actually completed 10,600 hours of production. The appropriate total budget for the department, assuming it uses flexible budgeting, is Round your final answer to the nearest dollar. Do not round interim calculations.
Answer:
Total cost under flexible budgeting is $390,850
Explanation:
Calculation of Standard direct labor Cost
Standard Direct labor Cost=Budgeted Labor cost/Budgeted hour of Production
=$136,000 / 8,000
=$17 per hour
Calculation of Standard material Cost
Standard material Cost = Budgeted material Cost /Budgeted hour of Production
=$150,000 / 8,000
=$18.75 per hour
Calculation of Total cost under flexible budgeting
Direct Material Cost = 10,600 * $18.75 = $198,750
Direct Labour Cost= 10,600 * 17 = $180,200
Fixed factory overhead= $11,900
Total budgeted cost $390,850
Webster's Discount Appliances expects sales of $12,000, $15,000, and $25,000 during April, May, and June (big sale in June). To build business, Webster let's all customers buy on credit, and all do so. In the past, 20% of Webster's Discount Appliances sales have been collected during the month of sale, 65% are collected the following month, and 15% the month after that. If this trend continues, what will be Webster's total cash collections in the month of June
Answer:
$16,550
Explanation:
The computation of total cash collections in the month of June is shown below:-
Total cash collections in the month of June = (June sales × Percentage of collection) + (May sales × Percentage) + (April × Percentage)
= ($25,000 × 20%) + ($15,000 × 65%) + ($12,000 × 15%)
= $5,000 + $9,750 + $1,800
= $16,550
So, for computing the total cash collections in the month of June we simply applied the above formula.
We use 2,000 electric drills per year in our production process. The ordering cost for these is $100 per order and the Holding( carrying) cost is assumed to be 40% of the per unit cost. Each drill costs $78. What is the optimal quantity that would minimize the sum of Holding and Ordering costs.
Answer:
The Optimal Quantity to minimize Holding and Ordering Costs:
This is also known as the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ).
We can work it out using the EOQ formula.
The formula for EOQ is:
Q = √(2DS)/H
where:
Q=EOQ units
D=Demand in units (typically on an annual basis) = 2,000
S=Order cost (per purchase order) = $100
H=Holding costs (per unit, per year) = $31.20 ($78 x 40%)
Formula and Calculation of Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)
Q = √(2x2,000x $100)/$31.2
Q = √12,820.5 = 113.228 or 113 approximately.
Explanation:
EOQ is an important cash flow management tool. The formula assists a company to control the amount of cash tied up in inventory. For many companies, inventory is their largest asset. Companies hold enough inventory to meet customers' demand. Since EOQ minimizes the level of inventory, the cash savings can be used for some other business purposes or investments.
The goal of the EOQ formula is to identify the optimal number of product units to order. If achieved, a company can minimize its costs for buying, delivery, and storing units, including the costs from running out of inventory.
A company is considering constructing a plant to manufacture a proposed new product. The land costs $300,000, the building costs $600,000, the equipment costs $250,000, and $100,000 additional working capital is required. It is expected that the product will result in sales of $750,000 per year for 10 years, at which time the land can be sold for $400,000, the building for $350,000, and the equipment for $50,000. All of the working capital would be recovered at the EOY 10. The annual expenses for labor, materials, and all other items are estimated to total $475,000. If the company requires a MARR of 15% per year on projects of comparable risk, determine if it should invest in the new product line. Use the AW method. (Sullivan, 20180327, p. 234) Sullivan, W.

Answer:
$327,909.14
Explanation:
Calculation to determine if it should invest in the new product line.
First step
The Investment cost will be:
Land costs $300,000
Building costs $600,000
Equipment costs $250,000
Additional working capital $100,000
=$1,250,000
Annual revenue $750,000
Annual expenses$475,000
Market value:
$400,000 +$350,000 + $50,000 = $80,0000
N: 10 year
MARR: 15% per year
Using PW method
-$1250000 + ($750,000 – $475,000) (P/A, 15%, 10) +$ 80000(P/F, 15%, 10)
-$1250000-$275,000((1+15)^¹⁰−1/15(1+15)^¹⁰+$3000
Hence,
=-$1,250,000 – $275,000(5.0188) + $3000(0.2472)
= $327,909.14

3 4,000a. What is the net present value at an 8 percent discount rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.)b. What is the internal rate of return? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
NPV = $2,357.77
IRR = 14.31%
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
NPV and IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator.
Cash flow in year 0 = $-24,000
Cash flow each year in year 1 and 2 = $13,000
Cash flow in year 3 = 4,000
I = 8%
NPV = $2,357.77
IRR = 14.31%
To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

A company received a bank statement showing a balance of $78,000. Reconciling items included outstanding checks of $2,400 and a deposit in transit of $9,400. What is the company's adjusted bank balance
Answer:
Adjusted Bank Balance = $85,000
Explanation:
Adjustment of bank balance is a bank reconciliation procedure, that is used to match the amount in the bank statement with the amount in the company's balance sheet.
To adjust the bank balance, particulars that need to be subtracted or added to the bank statement balance has to be identified and treated accordingly.
For this example, the adjusted balance is calculated thus:
Adjusted bank balance = (Bank statement balance) - (outstanding checks) +(deposit in transit)
Adjusted Bank Balance = 78,000 - 2,400 + 9,400 = $85,000
Note:
outstanding checks are subtracted because they are payments to be made made by the company, representing a liability to the company (payer)
deposit in transit is an income to the company that has not been credited yet, but that will be credited.
