During the current year, Robby’s Camera Shop had sales revenue of $168,000, of which $74,000 was on credit. At the start of the current year, Accounts Receivable showed a $18,000 debit balance, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts showed a $1,800 credit balance. Collections of accounts receivable during the current year amounted to $55,000. Data during the current year follows: A. On December 31 an Account Receivable (J. Doe) of $1,000 from a prior year was determined to be uncollectible; therefore, it was written off immediately as a bad debt.
B. On December 31, on the basis of experience, a decision was made to continue the accounting policy of basing estimated bad debt losses on 3.0% of credit sales for the year.
Required:
1. Prepare the required journal entries for the two items on December 31, end of the accounting period.
2. Show how the amounts related to Accounts receivable and Bad debt expense would be reported on the income statement and balance sheet for the current year. Disregard income tax considerations.

Robby's Camera Shop

1. Journal Entries:

Debit Bad Debts Expense $1,000

Credit Accounts Receivable $1,000

To write off bad debts (J. Doe).

2. Debit Bad Debts Expense $420

Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $420

To bring the allowance to $2,220 balance.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

1. Accounts Receivable balance:

Beginning balance (debit)                  $ 18,000

Credit Sales during the current year $74,000

Collections during the current year   (55,000)

Bad debts (written off)                           (1,000)

Ending balance (debit)                      $ 36,000

2. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

Beginning balance (credit) $1,800

Bad Debts Expense                420

Ending balance (Credit)    $2,220

3. Bad Debts Expense:

Accounts receivable $1,000

Allowance for doubtful accounts $420

Total bad debts expense = $1,420

4. 3% of credit sales = $2,220 ($74,000 * 3%)

sound is invisible, but sometimes we can feel it. when a kettle-drum is thumped with a stick that time the tight drum skin moving up and down very quickly for some time and then it pumped sound waves into the air. loudspeakers also work in a similar manner.

components of a speaker:

electromagnet

in order to translate an electrical signal into an audible sound, an electromagnet is used in looudspeakers

  suspension

suspension is used to   center the voice coil in the gap of the magnet and it exerts a restoring force to keep it there. suspension is used to limits the maximum mechanical excursion of the diaphragm and voice coil.

voice coil

voice coil is a coil of wire which is attached to the apex of a loudspeaker cone. it provides the motive force to the cone by the reaction of a magnetic field to the current passing through it.

cone

in a   loudspeaker, a   thin, semi-rigid membrane attached to the voice coil, which moves in a magnetic gap due to which it vibrates   and produced sound. it is known as diaphragm and it can also be called a cone, though not all speaker diaphragms are cone-shaped.

surround

surround is also known as front suspension. surround is used to join the cone to the chassis. together with the suspension it controls the cone excursion, and it is also used to   determine how energy which is   travelling through the cone is absorbed, and how the speaker limits when it reaches the ends of its travel.

dustcap

dustcap is used to protect the voice coil from dust and dirt. it is a part of the cone.

how speaker work

the outer part of the cone is fastened to the outer part of the loudspeaker's circular metal rim. the inner part is fixed to   voice coil that sits just in front of a permanent magnet . when loudspeaker is hooked up to a stereo, electrical signals feed through the speaker cables into the coil. it will convert the coil into an electromagnet magnet . when electricity flows back and forth in the cables, the electromagnet either repels or attract the permanent magnet. this moves the coil back and forth, and it pull and push the loudspeaker cone. like a drum skin vibrating back and forth, the moving cone pumps sounds out into the air.in this way loudspeakers works.
