<u>Calculation of margin of safety in sales dollars:</u>


We are given that Em sales had $2,200,000 in sales last month and the contribution margin ratio was 30% and operating profits were $180,000.

We can calculate fixed cost with the help of following formula:

Fixed Costs  =( Sales * contribution margin ratio) - operating profits

= (2200000*30%)-180000

= $ 480,000

Now we can calculate Breakevens Dollar Sales as follows:

Breakevens Dollar Sales = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin %

= 480,000/30%

= $1,600,000


Finally, we can calculate the margin of safety in sales dollars as follows:

The margin of safety in sales dollars =  Actual Sales – Breakevens sales

= 2200000-1600000

=$600,000


Hence, Margin of safety in sales dollars is <u>$600,000</u>

In 2017 Wilkinson Company had net credit sales of $2250000. On January 1, 2017, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a credit bal
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

$114,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Net credit sales = $2,250,000

Opening allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $36,000

Uncollectible accounts receivable written off = $90,000

Firstly, we need to find the excess amount to be adjusted to allowance for Doubtful Accounts. It is calculated as follows:

= Uncollectible accounts receivable written off  - Opening allowance for Doubtful Accounts

= $90,000 - $36,000

= $54,000

Allowance amount:

= 10% of the balance in receivables

= 0.1 × $600,000

= $60,000

Therefore, the required adjustment to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at December 31, 2017 is determined by summing up the excess amount and  allowance amount.

= Excess amount to be adjusted to allowance for Doubtful Accounts + Allowance amount

= $54,000 + $60,000

= $114,000
