The following information relates to a company’s accounts receivable: accounts receivable balance at the beginning of the year, $300,000; allowance for uncollectible accounts at the beginning of the year, $25,000 (credit balance); credit sales during the year, $1,500,000; accounts receivable written off during the year, $16,000; cash collections from customers, $1,450,000. assuming the company estimates that future bad debts will equal 10% of the year-end balance in accounts receivable.
1. calculate the year-end balance in the allowance for uncollectible accounts.
2. calculate bad debt expense for the year.

1. $33,400

2. $24,400

Explanation:

For computing the year-end balance in the allowance for uncollectible accounts first ,we have to compute the ending balance of accounts receivable which is shown below:

Ending balance of accounts receivable = Beginning balance + credit sales - customers’ accounts collected - write off amount

= $300,000 + $1,500,000 - $1,450,000 - $16,000

= $334,000

Now the year-end balance in the allowance for uncollectible accounts would be

= $334,000 × 10%

= $33,400

2. The computation of the bad debt expense is shown below:

= Year end balance of allowance for uncollectible accounts - beginning balance of allowance for uncollectible accounts + written off

= $33,400 - $25,000 + $16,000

= $24,400

the answer is: c.that person might be arrested and deported

filling w-4 form incorrectly usually would rise suspicions from government's auditors. when they notice such mistakes, they would send their teams to investigate the situation further.

if those investigation teams believe that the incorrectness is done on purpose (with malicious intent), that person can be arrested or deported
