<em>The contract A yields a loss under ABC but Contract B yields a profit.</em>

<em>ABC Profit  contract A  $ (3000) contract B  $ 11250</em>

<em>Under absorption costing both contract yield profits.</em>

<em>Absorption Profit    contract A  $ 3250 contract B    $7500   </em><em> </em>

<em>Management should make decisions using ABC and reject Contract A and accept Contract B.</em>

Uber’s strategy has been to break these regulations, establishing its service first, and then fighting attempts by regulators to
aleksley [76]

Answer: No it is not.

Explanation:

Uber by first establishing itself and then fighting regulators leaves itself open to attack around the world. This is because the Regulators have the power to keep adjusting the laws that govern Uber if they feel that Uber has an unfair advantage or if it's existence is detrimental to the society. Uber has been accused many times of various infractions such as Tax Evasions and being a conduit through which crime can be committed because it did not conduct proper background checks.

Going back to the issue of taxes, if the regulators feel that Uber may be avoiding taxes, they could impose laws that either cause an increase in Uber prices or remove them from a location which can have a native influence on Uber's bottomline.

This approach is not good because regulators do not like being fought and will try to ascert dominance. It is simply not viable and this has been proven with Uber's many suspensions around the world.

Minimization of Shipping Costs to 3 Customers from 4 Locations:

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Shipping Costs per unit Plant Customer

c. $7125

Plants                                Customers

     Production       1                       2                      3                 Total

Demand units        75 units       100 units          175 units    350 units

A       100 units    $25                $35                  $15

B       100 units    $20                $30                 $40

C      100 units    $40                 $35                 $20

D       50 units     $15                 $20                 $25

To minimize shipping costs:

Satisfy Customer 1's 75 units from B = $20 x 75 =    $1,500

Satisfy Customer 2's 25 units from B = $30 x 25 =       750

Satisfy Customer 2's 25 units from C = $35 x 25 =      875

Satisfy Customer 2's 50 units from D = $20 x 50 =    1,000

Satisfy Customer 3's 100 units from A = $15 x 100 =  1,500

Satisfy Customer 3's 75 units from C = $20 x 75 =    1,500

Daily minimum shipping cost  =                                 $7,125

Minimizing the shipping cost to a location is not considered in isolation. The other locations must be considered.  For example, customer 1's shipping cost would have been minimized to $1,250 instead of $1,500 by shipping D's 50 units and B's 25 units.  But, this would have increased the shipping cost to customer 2 by $500 from $2,625 to $3,125.  Whereas, the company lost $250 shipping to customer 1, it gained $500 shipping to customer 2, thereby making a net gain of $250, instead of net loss of $250.

Johnson Company calculates its allowance for uncollectible accounts as 10% of its ending balance in gross accounts receivable. T
Margaret [11]

Answer:

<em>Incomplete question is "2. What journal entry should Johnson record to recognize bad debt expense for 2021? 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 4. If Johnson instead used the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2021?"</em>

1. Gross accounts Receivable = Allowance Account balance at beginning / 10%

= $30,000 / 10%

= $300,000

2.     Year   Account Title                              Debit     Credit

       2021  Bad debt expense                   $105,000

                  ($500,000*10% + $55,000)  

                         To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts   $105,000

3.  Accounts receivable written off = Beginning balance of Allowance Account - Ending Balance of Allowance account

= $30,000 - (- $50,000)

= $30,000 + $50,000

= $80,000

4. Bad debt expense for 2021 (direct write off method) = Amount written off = $80,000
