Which of the following is TRUE regarding journal entries: a) There are always only two accounts affected b) The total amount debited must equal the total amount credited c) Journal entries show debits on the right and credits on the left d) Journal entries show credits first, then debits
Answer: b) The total amount debited must equal the total amount credited
Explanation:
Journal entries on the debit side must always equal entries on the credit side. This is to fulfil the Accounting requirement of Double Entry where every entry in the books must have an equal and corresponding entry as well.
There can be multiple accounts represented in the journal entry but the amount on the credit side needs to balance with the amount on the debit side.
For example, a good to sold to Hillary by Trump for $30. Trump gives Hillary a discount of 10%. Trump will record that entry as,
DR Cash $27
DR Sales Discount $3
CR Accounts Receivable $30
Notice that the Debit side has 2 accounts but they still add up to the $30 on the Credit side.
Sam is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. Consider the following sentence: In order to swim for an hour, Sam must take time away from work, where he earns $10 per hour. This is in addition to paying a $5 entrance fee for the pool. Which basic principle of individual choice do these statements best illustrate? The cost of something is what you give up to get it. Markets are usually a good way to organize economic activity. People usually exploit opportunities to make themselves better off. Trade can make everyone better off.
Answer:
The cost of something is what you give up to get it.
Explanation:
To partake in triathlon, Sam is forgoing the amount he would have earned if he went to work instead. This is known as the opportunity cost or implicit cost
Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.
Sam has to pay $5 to partake in the triathlon. This amount is known as explicit cost. Explicit cost is the cost incurred in carrying out an activity.
Sam's accounting cost is $5
Sam's economic cost is $5 + $10 = $15

An economy consists of three workers: Rajiv, Yakov, and Charles. Each works 10 hours a day and can produce two services: mowing lawns and washing cars. In an hour, Rajiv can either mow 2 lawns or wash 1 car; Yakov can either mow 1 lawn or wash 1 car; and Charles can either mow 1 lawn or wash 2 cars. For each of the scenarios listed in the following table, determine how many lawns will be mowed and how many cars will be washed per day and enter these values into the corresponding row Scenario Lawns Mowed Cars Washed All three spend all their time mowing lawns.
(A) All three spend all their time washing cars
(B) All three spend half their time on each activity.
(C) Rajiv spends half his time on each activity, while Yakov only washes cars and Charles only mows lawns.
(D) Identify the opportunity cost of washing cars for each worker. Worker Opportunity Cost of Washing Cars Yakov Charles
Answer:
(A) All three spend all their time washing cars
In 10 hours Rajiv will wash 10 cars, because he can wash 1 car per hour.
Yakov will also wash 10 cars because he can wash 1 car per hour.
And, Charles will wash 20 cars because he can wash 2 cars per hour.
(B) All three spend half their time on each activity.
In 5 hours, Rajiv will mow 10 lawns, and wash 5 cars.
Yakov will mow 5 lawns and wash 5 cars.
And Chalres will mow 5 lawns and wash 10 cars.
(C) Rajiv spends half his time on each activity, while Yakov only washes cars and Charles only mows lawns.
Rajiv will mow 10 lawns and wash 10 cars.
Yakov will wash 10 cars.
And Charles will mow 10 lawns.
(D) Identify the opportunity cost of washing cars for each worker.
For Rajiv, the opportunity cost of washing 1 car is not mowing 2 lawns.
For Yakov, the opportunity cost is not mowing 1 lawn.
For Charles, the opportunity cost is not mowing half a lawn.
Here are the 2015 revenues for the Wendover Group Practice Association for four different budgets (in thousands of dollars):
Static Budget Flexible (Enrollment/ Utilization) Budget Flexible (Enrollment) Budget Actual Results
$425 $200 $180 $300
a. What do the budget data tell you about the nature of Wendover's patients: Are they capitated or fce-for-service?
b. Calculate and interpret the following variances: Revenue variance Volume variance Price variance Enrollment variance Utilization variance
Answer: The answer is provided below
Explanation:
a). The revenue here shows that
Wendover's patients were capitated. The is because the actual revenue figures were assumed to be $180, but it
later came to $300 which means that the revenue increased.
The reason is that a capitated patient provides fixed payment a year, while a fee for service client pays per usage. With this explanation, it can be concluded that majority of Wendover's patients are fee for service because the difference between static results and the actual results is very high.
) 1. Revenue variance
= Actual Revenues - Static budget
= $ 300 - $ 425
= - $125
2. Volume variance
= Flexible Revenue - Static Budget
= $ 200 - $ 425
= - $ 225
3. Price Variance
= Actual Revenues - Flexible Revenues
=$300 - $200
= $100
4. Enrollment variance
= Flexible Revenues - Static Budget
= $ 180 - $ 425
= - $ 245
5. Utilization variance
= Flexible Revenue- Flexible Budget
= $ 200 - $ 180
= $ 20
Answer:
Kindly check Explanation
Explanation:
The difference between capita tes and fee-for-service is how payment is made, In capitates, a fixed annual amount is paid whereby In fee-for-service, payment is made separately for each service demanded. Thus it could be concluded from the data they the patients are fee-for - service due to the difference in the static and actual figure provided.
Given the following :
Static Budget - $425
Flexible (Enrollment/ Utilization) -$200
Budget Flexible (Enrollment) Budget -$180
Actual Results - $300
B)
Revenue variance = (Actual Revenues - Static Revenue)
Revenue variance = ($300-$425) = -$125 (Unfavorable)
This shows that the Wendover have less patients who use the services.
Volume variance = (Flexible Revenues (enrollment and utilization) – Static Revenues)
Volume variance = ($200 – $425) = -$225
Price variance = (Actual Revenues – Flexible Revenue)
Price variance = ($300 - $200)
Price variance = $100 F
Price variance is favorable which means service charge is high.
Enrollment variance = (Flexible Revenues (enrollment) – Static Revenue)
Enrollment variance = $180 – $425 = -$245
Utilization variance =Flexible revenues (enrollment/utilization) - Budget Flexible (Enrollment) Budget
$200 - $180 = $20
Electra Company purchased $50,000 worth of office supplies on January 1. Electra expects to use 60 percent of the supplies in the first year and the remainder in the second year. How much should Electra show in its Supplies Expense account at the end of the first fiscal year (ending December 31st)
Answer:
$30,000
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Purchase value of the office supplies = $50,000
Expected to use supplies in the first year = 60%
So expected to use supplies in the second year = 40%
Based on the above information, the supplies account balance at the end of the first fiscal year is
= Purchase value of the office supplies × Expected to use supplies in the first year
= $50,000 × 60%
= $30,000
We simply multiplied the purchased value with the expected supplies use in the first year so that the balance of the supplies for the first year could come

April 25 Received amount due from client that was billed on April 12
April 27 Paid full amount of accounts payable created on April 7
April 30 Cash dividends of $2,500 were paid to stockholders.
Answer:
See attached.
Explanation:
The question requires business events to be analyzed chronologically with each event's impact on the accounting equation.
The accounting equation states that Assets equal Liabilities plus Equity (Assets = Liabilities + Equity). The implication of this equation is that given each business transaction, Assets will always be equal to Liabilities and Equity. Two accounts or more are usually affected by each transaction. It may be two assets accounts or one asset and liabilities, etc. Expenses and Income impact the Retained Earnings, which is part of the Equity.
Assets are the resources owned by the business, while liabilities are financial obligations to third parties that contribute to the owned resources. Equity is the funds contributed by the stockholders, including the earnings retained from business. Equity, therefore, represents the ownership interest in the assets after liabilities have been deducted.
George has been selling 5,000 T-shirts per month for $8.50. When he increased the price to $9.50, he sold only 4,000 T-shirts. Which of the following best approximates the price elasticity of demand? -2.2 -1.8 -2 -2.6 Suppose George's marginal cost is $5 per shirt. Before the price change, George's initial price markup over marginal cost was approximately . George's desired markup is . Since George's initial markup, or actual margin, was than his desired margin, raising the price was .
Answer: George's initial price markup over marginal cost was approximately 41.2% George's desired markup is 45% Since George's initial markup, or actual margin, was Less than his desired margin, raising the price was profitable
Explanation:
a) Price Elasticity of Demand = [(Q1-Q2)/(Q1+Q2)] / [(P1-P2)/(P1+P2)]
= 5000- 4000/4000+ 5000) / 8.50- 9.50 /8.50 ₊9.50 =
1000/8000 / -1/ 18 = 0.125/-0.055 = -2.2
George's initial price markup over marginal cost was approximately
when Marginal cost = $5
b)initial price markup = Price - marginal cost / price = 8.50 - 5.00/ 8.50 = 0.412= 41.2%
C) George's desired margin = 1/absolute value of price elasticity = 1/ 2.2= 0.45= 45%
.
D)Since George's initial markup or actual margin was less than his desired margin, raising the price is profitable.
This is because When the markup is lower than the margin, business is running on a loss, so it is nessesary to increase price.
Your company currently has $ 1 comma 000 par, 6 % coupon bonds with 10 years to maturity and a price of $ 1 comma 078. If you want to issue new 10-year coupon bonds at par, what coupon rate do you need to set? Assume that for both bonds, the next coupon payment is due in exactly six months.
Answer:
The next coupon rate that is needed to set is 5.00%
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Your company presently has =$1,000 par
Coupon bonds = 6%
Maturity = 10 years
The next step is to find the coupon rate that is needed or required to set.
Now,
The number of semi annuals to maturity, NPER = (10 YEARS * 2)= 20
Semiannual coupon payments, PMT = ($1000 * 6%/2) = $30
The current selling price per bond (FV) = $1078
The maturity value at the end is = $1000
The semiannual compound type, = 0 (It is 0 if compounded at the end of each semiannual and is 1 if compounded at the start of each semiannual)
Semi annual interest rate is = 2.5%
Thus,
The number of semi annuals in a year is = 2
The annual coupon rate of bonds (new) = 2/50 % * 2
= 5.00%
It is important to note that the semi annual coupon rate is computed suing the excel function rate (nper, pmt, pv, fv, type),
Whereby
PV =1078
NPR = 20
PMT =30
FV = 1000
TYPE = 0.
Tim, who is subject to a 35 percent marginal gift tax rate, made a gift of a painting to Ben, valuing the property at $7,000. The IRS later valued the gift at $15,000. Compute the applicable undervaluation penalty.
Answer:
The undervaluation penalty is $560
Explanation:
Solution
Under valuation penalty applied when a person valued assets understated to save tax.
The undervaluation reduces the tax and hence comes with accuracy related penalty.
From the example, Tim undervalued the gift of $7,000 which is valued at $15,000 by IRS.
The deduction is undervalued for more than 150% and hence penalty is assessed. this is so because the income tax valuation is lower than 40%, so the penalty rate is 20%
Thus,
The calculation of overvaluation penalty is given below:
Undervaluation = $8000
Tax rate = 35%
Tax amount = $2,800
Penalty rate = 20%
Penalty on undervaluation is =$560
Therefore, the undervaluation penalty is $560

Answer:
$138,000
Explanation:
Subsidiary is a company which is controlled by its parent. Potter Corporation acquired 90% stock in Shoemaker Company. The non controlling interest is 10% in Shoemaker Company. The company made a profit of $1,380,000. The 90% share will be allocated to the parent company and only 10% share will be allocated to the Non Controlling Interest.
Crane Company sells its product for $60 per unit. During 2019, it produced 48000 units and sold 40000 units (there was no beginning inventory). Costs per unit are: direct materials $15, direct labor $9, and variable overhead $3. Fixed costs are: $576000 manufacturing overhead, and $72000 selling and administrative expenses. Under absorption costing, what amount of fixed overhead is deferred to a future period?
Answer:
$96,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of fixed overhead is deferred to a future period is shown below:
= Unsold units × fixed overhead cost per unit
= 8,000 units × ($576,000 ÷ 48,000 units)
= 8,000 units × $12
= $96,000
The unsold units is
= Produced units - sold units
= 48,000 units - 40,000 units
= 8,000 units
By multiplying the unsold units with the fixed overhead cost per unit we can get the amount of fixed overhead deferred for a future period and the same is to be considered
Suppose that there is a French shipbuilder that imports American made aluminum for parts in its ships. The French shipbuilder needs to purchase aluminum from the American producer for $100,000. Question: At the equilibrium exchange rate, how much does it cost to purchase $100,000 worth of aluminum from the American producer
Answer:
€67,000
Explanation:
The computation o the cost is shown below:
But before that first we have to determine the exchange rate at which the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplies
As we can see that from the table $1.5 per euro exchange rate, the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplied
That means € 1 = $ 1.5
So,
$1 = € 1 ÷ 1.5
So,
Euro exchange rate = €0.67 per dollar
Now
Worth of exchange is
= $100,000 × € 0.67 per dollar
= €67,000

First step is to calculate for Variable cost per unit:
Variable cost per unit =
$270,000 ÷ 20,000 units
= $13.50 per unit
Second step is to calculate for the cost function
Cost function :
Y = $630,000 + $13.50X
Y= $630,000 + $13.50(18,000)
Y=$630,000+$243,000
Y = $873,000
Therefore:
Total cost / number of units = total cost per unit$
Total cost =$873,000
Number of units= 18,000
$873,000 ÷ 18,000
= $48.50
Therefore the total cost per unit is $48.50
How did industrialization and unionization need to outsourcing
Answer: It is often assumed that manufacturing workers in developing countries, as recipients of outsourced jobs, would achieve economic benefits and organizational power. The author argues that job growth in developing countries through outsourcing to competing firms has often actually resulted in declining unionization and lower wage rates relative to traditional, integrated manufacturing firms. Using time-series data on union membership from 1980-2003 for Honduras and El Salvador as well as 2004 Household Survey Data for El Salvador, he examines the determinants of unionization rates and wages in the manufacturing sectors. He finds that that competitive outsourcing hurts labor at the plant-level in three ways: 1) it reduces labor's strike leverage by geographically dispersing the production process; 2) it increases the threat of plant mobility by decreasing plant-level investments; and 3) it increases labor costs relative to total costs, which creates an incentive for employers to keep wages low and unions out.
Liu Electronics budgeted sales of $400,000.00 for the month of November and cost of goods sold equal to 65 percent of sales. Beginning inventory was $80,000.00 and ending inventory is estimated at $72,000.00. The budgeted purchases for November are:________
Answer:
Purchases= $252,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= $400,000
Cost of goods sold equal to 65 percent of sales.
Beginning inventory= $80,000
Ending inventory= $72,000
To calculate the purchase required, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= (400,000*0.65) + 72,000 - 80,000
Purchases= $252,000
a manufacturing firm is considering two locations for a plant to produce a new product. the two locations have fixed and variable costs as folls location FC(ANNUAL) VC(per unit) atlanta $80,000 $20 phoenix $140,000 $16 IF THE ANNUAL DEMAND WILL BE 20,000 units, what would be the cost advantage of the better location? HINT: compare the total costs a 60000 b 20000 c 460000 d 40000
Answer:
b $20,000
Explanation:
For computation of cost advantage first we need to find out the total cost of Atlanta and Phoenix which is shown below:-
Total cost = Fixed cost + (Variable cost × Number of units)
For Atlanta
The Total cost = $80,000 + ($20 × 20,000)
= $480,000
For Phoenix
The Total cost = $140,000 + ($16 × 20,000)
= $460,000
According to the above calculation, Phoenix is best location because it has lower total cost.
So
The Cost advantage at Phoenix = Total cost of Atlanta - Total cost of Phoenix
= $480,000 - $460,000
= $20,000
Perhaps the most significant federal statute specifically addressing cyber crime is the:________.
a. Uniform Trade Secrets Act.
b. Anticybersquatting Espionage Act.
c. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
d. Berne Convention.
Answer:
c. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
Explanation:
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) is a cyber security bill that was enacted in 1986 and is an amendment of of Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984.
The acts forbids a person to access a computer without proper authorisation or an excess of required authority.

Other provisions the act addresses are distribution of malicious code, denial of service attacks, and trafficking in passwords
Overapplied factory overhead would result if: Group of answer choices a. Factory overhead costs incurred were greater than costs charged to production. b. The plant was operated at less than normal capacity. c. Factory overhead costs incurred were less than costs charged to production. d. Factory overhead costs incurred were unreasonably large in relation to units produced.
Answer:
c. Factory overhead costs incurred were less than costs charged to production.
Explanation:
An overapplied factory overhead represents the excess amount of overhead used during a manufacturing period compared to the actual overhead incurred during the production or manufacturing period.
Simply stated, an overapplied factory overhead is the amount by which the estimated overhead is above the actual overhead incurred by a factor in the course of production.
Hence, an overapplied factory overhead would result if factory overhead costs incurred were less than costs charged to production.
This simply means that, if the factory overhead cost actually incurred in a production period is less than the estimated factory overhead cost applied, this is an overapplied factory overhead. If reverse of the above is the case, then it is referred to as underapplied factory overhead.
Additionally, if the difference between the two overhead cost is negative, then it is an overapplied factory overhead.

- The fact that Mr Blaine has been asking when each report will be finished shows that he is concerned ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME it takes you to complete work on a safety report.
- He often compliments you on the results of your past analyses. This means that he is recertifying that your results come out fine and accurate BUT need to start coming out FASTER. He uses the compliments to lift your spirit so you don't feel downcast by the complaints. So you can be sure that as far as the work is concerned, YOU ARE GETTING IT RIGHT but as far as delivery window is concerned, you are delivering SLOWLY.
So the answer is B - he is most concerned about the timeframe you use to go through each report. He wants you to understand that good timing adds to the quality of a result!
2. The three options here are things you can do, to listen more effectively to your superior. The most important though is C.
You need to ask questions in return!
- Ask questions on the clarification of what exactly you are expected to do, in order to produce results that are both accurate and timely.
- Ask Mr. Blaine how he thinks you should go about it.
- Ask questions where you don't understand
- Ask when exactly you are to submit each result
After he replies, put his advice and corrections into practice.

Industry averages for the following four risk ratios are as follows:
Average collection period 25 days
Average days in inventory 60 days
Current ratio 2 to 1
Debt to equity ratio 50%
Required:
Calculate the four risk ratios listed above for Adrian Express in 2018.
Answer:
Industry average Adrian Express
Average collection period 25 days 31 days
Average days in inventory 60 days 152 days
Current ratio 2 3.91
Debt to equity ratio 50% 109%
Explanation:
Average collection period = (average accounts receivable / total net credit sales) x 365 days = {[(1,620,000 + 1,310,000) / 2] / 17,262,000} x 365 days = 30.98 ≈ 31 days
Average days in inventory = 365 days / inventory turnover
inventory turnover = COGS / average inventory = 10,624,000 / [(4,710,000 4,150,000) / 2] = 2.4
Average days in inventory = 365 days / 2.4 = 152 days
Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities = (cash + accounts receivable + inventory) / $1,930,000 = ($1,220,000 + $1,620,000 + $4,710,000) / $1,930,000 = $7,550,000 / $1,930,000 =3.91
Debt to equity ratio = total liabilities / stockholders' equity = $4,200,000 / $3,860,000 = 1.09 or 109%
House A has an ocean view and House B does not. In all other respects, the two houses are the same. The market price of house A is $2,800,000; the market price of house B is $2,600,000. The ocean view is therefore valued at a. $1,950,000. b. $2,700,000. c. $200,000. d. -$700,000.
Answer:
$200,000
Explanation:
The value of the ocean is the price difference between the two houses
$2,800,000 - $2,600,000 = $200,000

When a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, the money supply rises by more than $1. The amount of extra money created when the central bank increases bank reserves by $1 is called the money multiplier.
a. The money multiplier is generally greater than 1 because:
1. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar bill is spent more than once (velocity is larger than 1), thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
2. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
3. in a 100 percent reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves supports exactly one hundred dollars of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by $100.
4. when a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, deposits are automatically increased by $1 as well, thereby increasing the money supply by $2.
The money multiplier is equal to 1 when:
1. reserves < deposits.
2. reserves > deposits.
3. reserves = deposits.
b. The initial money supply is $1,500, of which $700 is currency held by the public. The desired reserve-deposit ratio is 0.1. Calculate the increase in the money supply associated with increases in bank reserves of $10. What is the money multiplier in this economy? Assume that individuals do not change their currency holdings.
c. A general rule for calculating the money multiplier is:
1. 1/(deposit ratio-desired reserve).
2. 1/deposit ratio.
3. 1/desired reserve.
4. 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio).
d. Suppose the Fed wanted to reduce the money multiplier, perhaps because it believes that change would give it more precise control over the money supply. In order to achieve its goal, the Fed would:
1. decrease the ratio of reserves to deposits.
2. increase reserve requirements.
3. increase the money supply.
4. decrease reserve requirements.
Answer: a. 2. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.
3. reserves = deposits.
b. $900.
Multiplier is 10
c. 4. 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio).
d. 2. increase reserve requirements.
Explanation:
a. In fractional-reserve banking system, $1 of deposits can be used to create more than $1 in money supply as the money is continuously deposited into other bank accounts. This enables the money to keep increasing until it theoretically reaches a certain amount determined by the money Multiplier.
If the money Multiplier is equal to 1 which is a very rare occasion, this means that the amount required in reserves is equal to the deposits. $1 of deposits will yield a $1 in money supply increase.
b. The desired reserve-deposit ratio is 0.1. For every $1, 0.1 goes to reserves.
If bank reserves have increased by $10 then that means that deposits are,
0.1x = 10
x = $100
Deposits not in reserve are,
= 0.9 * 100
= $90
The money Multiplier can be calculated with the formula,
= 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio)
= 1/0.1
= 10
Increase in money supply is therefore,
= $90 * 10
= $900
c. As earlier mentioned, option D is the general rule for calculating the money Multiplier.
= 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio)
d. If the Fed increases the reserve requirement, the effect would be a reduction in the money supply because the denominator is now higher.
For instance, reserve requirement of 0.1 vs 0.2.
At 0.1, the money supply would be,
= 1/0.1
= 10
At 0.2, the money supply would be,
= 1/0.2
= 5
The higher the reserve requirement, the lower the Multiplier.
Handy Home sells windows and doors in the ratio of 7:3 (windows:doors). The selling price of each window is $111 and of each door is $261. The variable cost of a window is $68.00 and of a door is $180.50. Fixed costs are $515,375.
Required:
1. Determine the selling price per composite unit.
2. Determine the variable cost per composite unit.
3. Determine the break-even point in composite units.
4. Determine the number of units of each product that will be sold at the breakeven point.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Handy Home sells windows and doors in the ratio of 7:3 (windows:doors).
Window:
Selling price= $111
Unitary variable cost= $68
Door:
Selling price= $261
Unitary variable cost= $180.5
Fixed costs are $515,375.
1) Selling price per composite unit:
Selling price= 0.7*111 + 0.3*261= $156
2) Composite variable cost:
Variable cost per unit= 0.7*68 + 0.3*180.5= 101.75
3) To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 515,375/ ( 156 - 101.75)
Break-even point in units= 9,500 units
4) Units for each product:
Windows= 0.7*9,500= 6,650
Door= 0.3*9,500= 2,850
Assume Zap industries reported the following adjusted account balances at year-end. 2019 2018 Accounts Receivable $ 1,690,200 $ 1,340,920 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (92,000 ) (76,300 ) Accounts Receivable, Net $ 1,598,200 $ 1,264,620 Assume the company recorded no write-offs or recoveries during 2019. What was the amount of Bad Debt Expense reported in 2019
Answer:
amount of Bad Debt Expense for 2019 = $92,000
Explanation:
A bad debt expense is a uncollectible receivable amount incurred on a credit sale to a customer, who is no longer able to pay the debt, due to bankruptcy or other financial problems. Companies make provision for these kind of credit losses in the allowance for doubtful accounts, and hence records the amount used from the allowance for doubtful accounts as the bad debt expense.
In our example, the allowance for doubtful account for 2019 is $92,000, hence since it was used to settle part of the credit losses, this becomes the bad debt expense.
Which of the following statements about pricing is true? Small changes in price can have big effects on company profit but not on the number of units sold. Small changes in price can have big effects on the number of units sold but not on company profit. Small changes in price can have big effects on the number of units sold and also on company profit. Compared to the other 4P’s, pricing is important because once an item has been priced, changing its price can be quite difficult.
Answer:
Small changes in price can have big effects on the number of units sold and also on company profit
Explanation:
Small change in price will definitely have an effect on the amount of units sold due to a corresponding change in demand that will follow this change, and also will affect the amount of profit that the company generates. This changes can either be positive or negative to the company. Example is the increase in price of coca-cola might trigger customers into switching to pepsi-cola, resulting in a reduced demanded quantity which means less units are produced. The overall effect of these will leave the company with less profit.
