Answer:
$27,541
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine the activity cost
Activity Cost
Set-up $75.00
Movement:
Batch 60V $66
(Three batch moves *22.00 per batch)
Weight $750
(150 pounds*0.10 per pound*50)
Inspection $200
(Two sets of inspections*50*2.00 per unit)
Drilling $750
(3.00 per hole*five holes in each unit*50)
Welding $24,000
(6.00 per inch*80*50)
Shaping $800
(32.00 per hour*(30 minutes/60)*50)
Assembly $900
(18.00 per hour*1*50)
Total $27,541
Therefore the activity cost is $27,541
A firm will maximize the present value of future profits by maximizing current profits when: the growth rate in profits is constant. the growth rate in profits is larger than the interest rate.

Hence, the option c is correct
Assume that Simple Co. had credit sales of $280,000 and cost of goods sold of $165,000 for the period. It estimates that 2 percent of credit sales in uncollectible accounts when it uses the percentage of credit sales method and it estimates that the appropriate ending balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is $6,900 when it uses the aging method. Before the end-of-period adjustment is made, the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance of $400.
Required:
Prepare the journal entry to record the end-of-period adjustment for bad debts under the (a) percentage of credit sales method and (b) aging of accounts receivable method.
Answer:

Cr Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $6,500
Explanation:
A. Preparation of the journal entry to record the end-of-period adjustment for bad debts under
