Raining Company analyzes its receivables to estimate bad debt expense. The accounts receivable balance is $200,000 and credit sales are $1,300,000. An aging of accounts receivable shows that approximately 10% of the outstanding receivables will be uncollectible. What adjusting entry will Tanning Company make if Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance of $2,500 before adjustment?

Raining Company and Tanning Company

An Uncollectible Expense of $17,500 will be credited to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to bring the credit balance to $20,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the accounts receivable balance is $200,000, there is nothing to do with the credit sales of $1,300,000.

The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts after adjustment should have a credit balance of $20,000 ($200,000 x 10%).

With a credit balance of $2,500 before adjustment, it will be adjusted (credited) with Uncollectible Expense of $17,500.  This brings the adjusted balance to $20,000 which represents 10% of the accounts receivable balance of $200,000.

Note that the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a contra (credit) account to the Accounts Receivable account.  This allowance is a way to prudently provide for credit risk as required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

step-by-step explanation:

a.   we have two

lines:   y = 4-x   and  

y = 8-x^-1

given two simultaneous equations that are both to be

true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. the intersection is

where the two equations are equal. therefore the solution that works for both

equations is when

4-x = 8-x^-1

this is where the two lines will cross and that is the

common point that satisfies both equations.

b.   4-x = 8-x^-1

  x           4-x       8-x^-1

-3           7        

8.33

-2           6         8.5

-1           5         9

  0           4        

-

  1           3        

7

  2           2        

7.5

  3           1         7.67

the table shows that none of the x values from -3 to 3 is

the solution because in no case does

4-x = 8-x^-1

to find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to

find for x:

4-x = 8-x^-1

multiply both sides with x:

4x-x^2 = 8x-1

x^2+4x-1=0

x= -4.236, 0.236

therefore there are two points that satisfies the

equation.

find y:  

x=-4.236

y = 4-x   = 4 – (-4.236)

= 8.236

y = 8-x^-1 =   .236)^-1

= 8.236

x=0.236

  y = 4-x   = 4 – (0.236) = 3.764

y = 8-x^-1 =   8-(0.236)^-1

= 3.764

thus the two lines cross at 2 points:

(-4.236, 8.236) & (0.236, 3.764)

c.   to solve

graphically the equation 4-x = 8-x^-1

we would graph both lines: y = 4-x   and   y

= 8-x^-1

the point on the graph where the lines cross is the

solution to the system of equations.

just graph the points on part b on a cartesian coordinate

system and extend the two lines.   the

solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.
