Journal entries

(a)

Dr. Bad Debt Expense                         $4,207

Cr. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $4,207

(b)

Dr. Bad Debt Expense                         $5,737

Cr. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $5,737

Explanation:

Bad debt Expense will be calculated using the percentage of debt loss. The expense will be calculated using the account receivable balance.

Closing Value of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts will be as follow

Closing Balance = $127,500 x 5% = $6,375

(a)

As Allowance for Doubtful Accounts already have balance of $2,168, we need to adjust the remainder to make the closing balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $6,375 at the year end.

Adjustment Value = $6,375 - $2,168 = $4,207

(b)

As Allowance for Doubtful Accounts already have balance of $638, we need to adjust the remainder to make the closing balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $6,375 at the year end.

Adjustment Value = $6,375 - $638 = $5,737

Marat540 [252]

Answer: B. Mention the graphic in the text of the report.

The text of the report should describe or discuss the justifications of the graphics.

Explanation:

Graphics should be included inside the report, rather than only in the appendix, if they are important for discussions and presentations in the report.

Graphics can be created in colors in the report, especially if the reports are to be printed in colors version. However, if the report is to be printed in black and white only, the graphics should also be in black and white only so that the printing resolution is clear.

Titles of the graphs, x-axis and y-axis, together with the range should be clearer shown together with the graphics for the readers' understanding.

quester [9]

Answer:

Warranty of fitness for particular purpose.

Explanation:

Under the principle of implied warranty, products must be fit for the particular use for which they are intended. What does one do with a drink other than drink it ? Therefore, there was no need for Wanda to inform Kelly about the purpose, as Kelly is aware of the purpose for which Wanda wants the product.

Hence, it is seller Kelly's duty to ensure that the goods are suitable for that purpose.In other words, there was an implied warranty that the drink was fit to be consumed.
