Uncollectible accounts; allowance method estimating bad debts as percentage of net sales vs. direct write-off method [LO7-5, 7-6) Ervin Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. Bad debt expense is established as a percentage of credit sales. For 2021, net credit sales totaled $6,500,000, and the estimated bad debt percentage is 1.50%. No previously written-off accounts receivable were reinstated during 2021. The allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of $62,000 at the beginning of 2021 and $50,000, after adjusting entries, at the end of 2021. Required: 1. What is bad debt expense for 2021 as a percent of net credit sales? 2. Assume Ervin makes no other adjustment of bad debt expense during 2021. Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021. 3. If the company uses the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2021? 1. Bad debt expense $97,5002. Accounts receivable written off $15,0003. Bad debt expense $98,430
Answer:
1. Bad debt expense = $97,500
2. Accounts receivable written off = $109,500
3. Bad debt expense for 2021 = $109,500
Explanation:
Bad debts expense refers to an uncollectible accounts expense that occurs because goods or services are delivered on credit a company to a customer who did not paid the amount owed.
The questions can be answered as follows:
1. What is bad debt expense for 2021 as a percent of net credit sales?
Under this, bad debt can be calculated using the following formula:
Bad expense = Net credit sales * Estimated bad debt percentage ....... (1)
Where;
Net credit sales = $6,500,000
Estimated bad debt percentage = 1.50%
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Bad debt expense = $6,500,000 * 1.50% = $97,500
2. Assume Ervin makes no other adjustment of bad debt expense during 2021. Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021.
This can be calculated using the following formula:
Accounts receivable written off = Beginning uncollectible balance + Bad debt expenses - Ending uncollectible balance ............ (2)
Where;
Beginning uncollectible balance = $62,000
Bad debt expenses = $97,500
Ending uncollectible balance = $50,000
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
Accounts receivable written off during 2021 = $62,000 + $97,500 - $50,000 = $109,500
3. If the company uses the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2021?
Under the direct write-off method, the exact amount of uncollectible accounts as they are specifically identified are recorded.
Based on this explanation, bad debt expense for 2021 is equal to the accounts receivable written off during 2021 calculated in part 2 above. Therefore, we have:
Bad debt expense for 2021 = $109,500
A payment of a portion of an accounts payable will:_______A) decrease net income. B) not affect stockholders' equity. C) not affect total assets. D) increase liabilities.
Answer: B) not affect stockholders' equity.
Explanation:
When an accounts payable is paid off, this represents a reduction in liabilities as well as a reduction in assets ( the cash used to pay). The company's equity will not be affected in any way.
This is proven by the accounting equation which shows that assets are equal to equity plus liabilities. If both liabilities and assets reduce by the same amount, the equity will have to remain unaffected for the formula to stand.
You have been hired by a new organic juice company to run its digital marketing program for its product. One of the first initiatives you tackle is the firm’s inbound marketing program. Which of the following tools would NOT be included as part of your inbound marketing program?
A. A weekly podcast on organic produce hosted by the company’s founder
B. Creating paid search advertisements that are very good at gaining consumer attention
C. A blog written by the CEO discussing the company’s special events and plans for new flavors
D. A search engine optimization (SEO) program headed by you, the marketer
E. Optimizing landing pages that are the first company web pages that consumers see after clicking on a search result
Answer:
C. A blog written by the CEO discussing the company’s special events and plans for new flavors
Explanation:
Inbound marketing program is a special program whereby a business methodology is applied to a product through tailored rich contents and experiences directed towards them. It is done to attract customers. Unfortunately, Option C happens not to be part of an imbound marketing program directed towards the digital marketing of the orange juice company's products.
Answer:
The correct answer is E
Explanation:
An inbound marketing program is simply a marketing technique you pull off to enable your customers to see you, your company and your product with the goal (of course) to initiate and close a sale.
Inbound marketing campaigns are designed to create brand visibility and increase affinity for one's products and services.
All the other options are very related to getting consumer attention. Option E is an activity without any real potential to attract customers attention. By the time customers get to the landing page, the objective of the inbound marketing strategy has been achieved.

Jack receives a check from Kappa Company and indorses it "without recourse." This indorsement is:______.a. a blank indorsement.
b. a qualified indorsement.
c. a restrictive indorsement.
d. a special indorsement.
Answer:
b. a qualified indorsement.
Explanation:
Jack receives a check from Kappa Company and indorses it "without recourse." This indorsement is known as a "qualified indorsement".
In a qualified indorsement, the liability is usually disclaimed by the indorser when a phrase is added preceding the signature.

If you cannot think of a better way to say what another author said, it is best to:_______.a. keep reading the passage until you can paraphrase.
b. quote the author, no matter how long or how often.
c. substitute a few words in the sentence for synonyms.
d. leave that source out of your paper.
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
Quoting can be defined as taking exact phrase or sentence from other text and adding it into one's writing.
Quotes are incorporated into a text when it is difficult to paraphrase the text. Sometimes paraphrasing the text also takes away the essence of the text, in the case also, the writer include the quote.
The rule of quoting a text is always to cite the source, the author, etc to avoid plagiarism.
So, the correct way to say what another author is saying without hampering the true message would be to include the author's quote (using correct citation format). Even the long quotes can be included and everytime the quote is included remember to cite it.
Thus the correct option is B.
Answer:
B. Quote the author, no matter how long or how oftenExplanation:
If there is not a better way to say what the author has said we should quote the text, reading the passage until you can paraphrase will not work if you cannot express the another author's ideas or text in your own words.
Substituting a few words won't be helpful either, as the other lines will be considered plagiarized. You also cannot leave the source out of paper, if you do so for a number of sources then it may affect the quality of your work.

As input for a presentation that you are jointly authoring, one of your marketing analysts submitted the following summary of the characteristics of the four different types of market structures companies compete in: Competitive Structure Number of Competitors Market Barriers to Entry Monopolistic Competition Unlimited No Barriers Monopoly Few Some Barriers Pure Competition Many Few Barriers Oligopoly One Many Barriers With respect to the classifications of number of competitors and barriers to entry, which one of the following statements is correct? a. The monopolistic competition structure is properly classified. b. The pure competition and oligopoly structures are properly classified. c. The oligopoly structure is properly classified. d. The monopoly structure is properly classified. e. The monopoly and oligopoly structures’ classifications should be reversed.
Answer:
a. The monopolistic competition structure is properly classified.
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high / many barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of a monopoly is a utility company
An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry. While, a monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.
Oligopolies are characterised by:
price setting firms product differentiation profit maximisation high barriers to entry or exit of firms downward sloping demand curve
Services constitute the bulk of most countries' production and marketing efforts.A. TrueB. False
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
Physical goods, not services, constitute the bulk of most countries' production and marketing efforts. Even though services represent a higher percentage of GDP than manufacturing, many of these services are directly related to manufacturing goods. E.g. grocery stores are considered services, but they sell physical products. Amazon is the largest retailer in the world and its considered a service, but most of its operations involve physical products. Without physical products, many services would not exist since they complement each other.

Explanation
Many different professions contribute to the theory and practice of project management. Engineers and architects have been managing major projects since pre-history. Since approximately the 1960s, there have been efforts to professionalize the practice of project management as a specialization of its own. There are many active debates around this: Should project management be a profession in the same way as engineering, accounting, and medicine? These have professional associations that certify who is legally allowed to use the job title, and who can legally practice the profession. They also provide a level of assurance of quality and discipline members who behave inappropriately.

Hope it helps
Before using a check as a method of payment for his new chair, Yuri must consider several factors to ensure a smooth transaction. Hence option D is correct.
What must he consider before using that method of payment?First and foremost, he should verify that the merchant accepts checks as a form of payment. Additionally, he should confirm that he has enough money in his checking account to cover the cost of the chair and any other expenses or automatic payments that may come due soon.
It's also important for Yuri to ensure that he writes the check properly, including the correct date, payee name, and amount in both numerical and written form. Failure to do so could result in the check being rejected or delayed, which could cause problems for both Yuri and the merchant.
If Yuri has a history of bounced checks or insufficient funds in his account, he may want to consider alternative payment methods or take steps to improve his financial situation before attempting to pay with a check.
It's also a good idea for Yuri to keep track of his checkbook balance and reconcile it regularly to avoid any surprises or overdraft fees.
Overall, paying with a check can be a convenient and secure way to make purchases, but it's important for Yuri to be mindful of these considerations to ensure a successful transaction.
