Chapter 5, Problem 32P

a.

To determine

Organize the transaction data in accounts under an accounting equation.

Explanation of Solution

Percentage of sales method: Credit sales are recorded by debiting (increasing) accounts receivable account. The bad debts is a loss incurred out of credit sales, hence uncollectible accounts can be estimated as a percentage of credit sales or total sales.

It is a method of estimating the bad debts (expected loss on extending credit), by multiplying the expected percentage of uncollectible with the total amount of net credit sale (or total sales) for a specific period. Under percentage of sales method, estimated bad debts would be treated as a bad debt expense of the particular period.

Horizontal statements model: The model that represents all the financial statements, balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows in one table in a horizontal form, is referred to as, horizontal statements model.

Organize the transaction data in accounts under an accounting equation.

Table (1)

Working note 1: Calculate the amount of credit card sales made to customers:

The merchandise sold to credit card customers for $60,000 and the company charges a fee of 5% on sales. So, the credit card expense is $\left(\$60,000\times 5\%\right)$ $3,000. Thus, the amount of credit card sales made to customers is calculated as follows:

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Credit card sales }\\ \text{made to customers}\end{array}\}\text{= Credit card sales}-\text{Credit card expense}\\ =\$60,000-\$3,000\\ =\$57,000\end{array}$

Working note 2: Calculate the amount of interest receivable:

Given: The loan amount is $50,000 and the rate of interest is 9%. So the total interest income is calculated as follows:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Total interest}=\text{Loan amount}\times \text{Rate of interest}\\ =\$50,000\times 9\%\\ =\$4,500(\text{B)}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Interest receivable}=\text{Total interest}\times \frac{\text{Number of months}}{\text{Months in a year}}\\ =\$4,500(\text{B)}\times \frac{3}{12}\left(\text{Maturity period}\right)\\ =\$1,125\end{array}$

Working note 3: Calculate the amount for uncollectible accounts expense:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Uncollectible accounts expense}=\text{Accounts receivable}\times \text{Rate of interest}\\ =\$340,000\times 0.5\%\\ =\$1,700\end{array}$
