This type of agreement is a violation of the Sherman Act.

A piece of antitrust law from the United States, the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, established the idea of unlimited competition between companies. It was authorized by Congress, and its main author is Senator John Sherman. The Sherman Act forbids "any contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade," as well as "every monopolization, attempted monopolization, conspiracy, or combination to monopolize." In order to avoid monopolistic alliances that impede trade and erode economic competition, the Sherman Antitrust Act was created in 1890. It prohibits both formal cartels and attempts to monopolize any sector of American commerce.

Colt1911 [192]

Answer: $19000

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Vaughn Manufacturing's allowance for uncollectible accounts was $190000 at the end of 2020 and $178000 at the end of 2019 and that for the year ended December 31, 2020, Vaughn reported bad debt expense of $31000 in its income statement.

The amount that Vaughn debited to the appropriate account in 2020 to write off actual bad debts will be:

= $31000 - ($190000 - $178000)

= $31000 - $12000

= $19000

Little Book LTD has total assets of $860 000. There are 75
malfutka [58]

a)Little book LTD earning per share is $1.118 per share.  

Explanation:

To calculate earning per share we will use following formula:

\frac{net income}{weighted average  shares outstanding}

Now to find net income we will take help of  asset turnover ratio :\frac{net sales}{total asset}

Asset turnover ratio = \frac{x}{860000}

\begin{align}\frac{x}{$86000}\end{align}1.5 × $860000 = x

x (net sales) = $1290000

Outstanding shares = 75000 shares

So Net Income  = $1290000×.065

                          = $83850

Now Earning per share = \frac{83850}{75000}

    Earning per share = $1.118

b)  Market to Book Ratio will be 1.2 for Little Book LTD.

Explanation:

Market to Book Ratio =\frac{Market Capitalization}{Total Book Value}

Market Capitalization = $ 75000× $ 12

                                    = $900000

So, Market To Book Ratio =\frac{900000}{750000}

       Market To Book Ratio = 1.2
