| 1. | c | Remember
that any entry to the Accounts Receivable account also requires an entry to a
subsidiary account. |
| 2. | b | |
| 3. | d | Only
the direct write-off method debits an expense at the time a receivable is written
off. |
| 4. | b | $44,700
– $1,500 = $43,200 |
| 5. | a | Assets
are overstated because the credit to the allowance has not been recorded, so net
accounts receivable is too high. Expenses are understated because the debit
to uncollectible
accounts expense has not been recorded. |
| 6. | b | When
a receivable is written off, there is no expense recorded, so there is no effect
on net
income. There is also no change in net accounts receivable because
the Accounts Receivable
and allowance accounts are reduced by the same amount. |
| 7. | c | With
a $350 previous debit balance, a $2,350 credit is needed to end with a $2,000
credit balance. |
| 8. | d | Net
realizable value means the amount collectible. |
| 9. | b | Both
Accounts Receivable and the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts are reduced by
$450. |
| 10. | d | |
| 11. | a | ($120,000
× .01) + ($45,000 × .03) + ($30,000 × .1) + ($10,000 ×
.6) = $11,550. |
| 12. | a | $11,550
– $900 = $10,650. The amount of the adjustment compensates for the existing
allowance balance. |
| 13. | d | |
| 14. | c | ($120,000
× .09 × 60)/360 = $1,800 |

| | | The
net realizable value is $62,300 – $1,300 = $61,000. The $3,300 expense (period-end
adjustment) creates a $3,300 credit entry into the allowance account. The
write-offs during
the year are debits to the allowance account. |
| 16. | b | The
collectible value is called the net realizable value. |
