2)Accounts Receivable Written Off $ 24,900

3)If direct method is used the amount of bad debts expense during the year 2021 would be $ 67,600

Explanation:

Ervin Company

Net credit sales  $5,200,000,

Beginning Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $49,000 Cr

Ending Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $43,500 Cr

Accounts Receivable Written Off $ 24,900

Estimated Bad debts =   1.30% of  $5,200,000 = $ 67,600

1) The bad debts expense for 2021 as a percent of net credit sales is  $ 67,600.

<h2><u>2.   All. for Uncollectibles    </u></h2><h3><u>Debt                                        Credit </u></h3>

                                  Beg Bal; $ 49,000

Bad debts 67,600

A/R written Off

$24,900

<u>                                          Balance $ 43,500 </u>

2) Accounts Receivable Written Off $ 24,900.

This is found by using a T - account for Allowance for uncollectibles. As the beginning and ending balances of  Allowance for uncollectibles are credit balances, they would go on the credit side and bad debts expense and Account Receivable written off on the debit side as they are the expenses.

3)If direct method is used the amount of bad debts expense during the year 2021 would be $ 67,600

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The company's cost of preferred stock for use in calculating the WACC is 9.65%

Explanation:

For computing the cost of preferred stock, the following formula should be used which is shown below

= Annual dividend based on preferred stock ÷ (Price per share × Flotation cost)

where,

Flotation cost = 1- rate

                      = 1- 4% = 0.96

= $9.50 ÷ ($102.50 × 0.96)

= $9.50 ÷ $98.4

= 9.65%

The flotation cost should be deducted because it is a one time expense. Thus, it would be minus from price per share.

Hence, the company's cost of preferred stock for use in calculating the WACC is 9.65%

The cost constraint suggests that, even when the cost of providing accounting information exceeds its benefit, the financial acc
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The GAAP established that when the benefits of obtaining accounting information are lower than the costs of providing that information, the information should not be provided.

For example, sometimes there are very small differences in certain accounts that don't allow a balance sheet to be balanced. If the accounting error is very small, e.g. just a few hundred dollars, then it is not reasonable to have a whole audit team check all the financial statements again to determine what caused the error. An adjusting entry could be made to close the account balances.

Imagine you are an auditor that must check the physical inventory of a factory and some boxes containing supplies are misplaced. It might take you a whole day to count again all the supplies and materials, but is it worth it? If the supplies were really expensive, probably yes, but if they were cheap components, then probably no.

Chicago and Los Angeles

Chicago and Portland

San Diego and Portland

Answer:

Better Beans Coffee Company

1. San Diego's $2,750,000 and Orlando's $1,525,000 presented the highest net revenue increases when adding a second store.

2. Based on management's criteria that the cannibalization rate for the existing store should be less than 30%, San Diego with 10% and Los with 10% Cannibalization rates should be chosen.

Explanation:

Cannibalization Rate is a measure of the impact of new products or the presence of new stores on sales revenue for existing products or stores.  Cannibalization happens when a business, like the Better Beans Coffee Company, opens a new store in a town where there is an existing store. It can also happen when Better Beans releases new coffee products.  Consumers' attention and demand for existing products can decrease, as a switch to new products or new stores takes place.
