1. Record the companys write-offs of uncollectible accounts for 2014. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Enter your answers in millions (i.e., 10,000,000 should be entered as 10).)

2. Assuming all sales were on credit, what amount of cash did Dr Pepper Snapple Group collect from customers in 2014? (Enter your answers in millions.)

3. Compute the companys net profit margin for the three years presented. (Round your percentage answer to 2 decimal places (i.e. 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34).)

Case B. Samuda Enterprises uses the aging approach to estimate bad debt expense. At the end of the current year, Samuda reported a balance in accounts receivable of $615,000 and estimated that $13,000 of its accounts receivable would likely be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts has a $1,300 debit balance at year-end (that is, more was written off during the year than the balance in the account).

1. What amount of bad debt expense should be recorded for the current year?

2. What amount will be reported on the current year's balance sheet for accounts receivable?

Case C. At the end of current year, the unadjusted trial balance of Samuels, Inc., indicated $5,838,000 in Accounts Receivable, a credit balance of $8,400 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, and Sales Revenue (all on credit) of $160,420,000. Based on knowledge that the current economy is in distress, Samuels increased its bad debt rate estimate to 0.2 percent on credit sales.

1. What amount of bad debt expense should be recorded for current year?

2-b. What is net income under the LIFO method?

3. Stewart applied the lower of cost or market method to value its inventory for reporting purposes at the end of the month. Assuming Stewart used the FIFO method and that inventory had a market replacement value of $17.80 per unit, what would Stewart report on the balance sheet for inventory?

Case E. Matson Company purchased the following on January 1, 2016:

Office equipment at a cost of $56,000 with an estimated useful life to the company of three years and a residual value of $16,800. The company uses the double-declining-balance method of depreciation for the equipment.

Factory equipment at an invoice price of $828,000 plus shipping costs of $23,000. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 115,000 hours and no residual value. The company uses the units-of-production method of depreciation for the equipment.

A patent at a cost of $403,000 with an estimated useful life of 13 years. The company uses the straight-line method of amortization for intangible assets with no residual value.

The company's year ends on December 31.
