Survey of Accounting (Accounting I)
- Assume that 5% of the L.L. Bean boots are returned by customers for various reasons. L. Bean has a 100% refund policy for returns, no matter what the reason. What would the journal entry be to accrue L.L. Bean's sales returns for this one pair of boots? (Note: L.L. Bean most likely will make monthly/quarterly adjusting entries for the total sales returns accruals, but here we will just look at the accrual associated with the sale of one pair of boots.)arrow_forwardWhat was the percentage rate of return on plan aasetsarrow_forwardQuestion 25arrow_forward

- L.L. Bean operates two factories that produce its popular Bean boots (also known as "duck boots") in its home state of Maine. Since L.L. Bean prides itself on manufacturing its boots in Maine and not outsourcing, backorders for its boots can be high. In 2014, L.L. Bean sold about 450,000 pairs of the boots. At one point during 2014, it had a backorder level of about 100,000 pairs of boots. L.L. Bean can manufacture about 2,200 pairs of its duck boots each day with its factories running 24/7. In 2015, L.L. Bean expects to sell more than 500,000 pairs of its duck boots. As of late November 2015, the backorder quantity for Bean Boots was estimated to be about 50,000 pairs.arrow_forwardcorrect answer pleasearrow_forward1. Assume there is a 7% sales tax rate in Ohio, where the customer who ordered the boots is located. The sales tax on the order would be $7.63, which L.L. Bean adds to the invoice total. Is the $7.63 added to L.L. Bean's sales revenue? Why or why not?arrow_forward
