Answer:

Mary

Explanation:

Mary has a competitive advantage and has a lower opportunity cost than Bill just having to sacrifice 2 units of food for 1 shelter, while Bill has to sacrifice 4 units of food for producing 1 unit of shelter. It is possible to observe this in the production relation:

Mary's productivity:

\frac{1}{2}=0.5

Bill's productivity:

\frac{1}{4}=0.25

We see that Mary has a higher productivity rate, which means that she has the competitive advantage

algol13

Answer:

$17,400

Explanation:

Given that,

Purchased cash registers on April 1 = $18,000

Estimated useful life of asset = 5 years

Using straight line depreciation method,

Depreciation:

= (Original cost - Salvage cost) ÷ Estimated useful life

= ($18,000 - $0) ÷ 5

= $3,600 per year

Two months depreciation:

= Depreciation per year × (2 ÷ 12)

= $3,600 × (1 ÷ 6)

= $600

Book value of the cash registers on May 31:

= Original cost - Two months depreciation

= $18,000 - $600

= $17,400

You have obtained a sub-sample of 1744 individuals from the Current Population Survey (CPS) and are interested in the relationsh
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Let me give you an example of a segment addition problem that uses three points that asks the student to solve for x but has a solution x = 20.

First, I assumed values for each x, y and z and then manipulated their coefficients to get the total at the end of each equation.

20 + 10 +30 = 60

40 + 0 + 40 = 80

40 + 10 = 50

Then exchangeing these numbers into values and we have the following equation.

x + 2y + 3z = 60

2x + 4z = 80

2x + z = 50 so its easy

If you will solve them manually by substituting their variables into these equations, you can get

x = 20

y = 5

z = 10

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

<u>Equipment:</u>

                                                  Dr.       Cr.

Depreciation Expense          $5,520

Accumulated Depreciation                $5,520

<u>Land:</u>

Land never depreciates, so there is no adjusting entry for the Land purchased on year end.

Explanation:

Year end is not given in the data so, it is assumed the December 31 is the end of the year

Equipment

Depreciation  for the year = ( Purchase price - Residual value ) / useful life

Depreciation  for the year = ( $32,000 - $4,400 ) / 5 years

Depreciation  for the year = $5,520

Charleston, Inc. has Accounts Receivable of $170,000 and an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $11,000. If it writes-off a custo
Romashka [77]

Answer:

$159,000

Explanation:

The double entry to record the writes off balances which are the bad debts of Customers who will not pay the debt, will include debit to allowance which is decrease in the allowance and credit to accounts receivable which is also a decrease to accounts receivable:

Dr Allowance for doubtful account $1,100

Cr Accounts Receivable                           $1,100

Similarly the increase in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $11,000 will be treated totally opposite of the decrease in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts above:

Dr Accounts Receivable               $11,000

Cr Allowance for doubtful account    $11,000

Now, the increase in allowance is deducted from opening accounts receivables and vice versa. The treatment is given below:

Opening balance of Accounts receivables             $170,000

Accounts Receivable                                                ($1,100)

Allowance for Doubtful Debt    ($11,000 - $1,100)   <u>   $9,900 </u>

Accounts Receivable (Net)                                       $159,000
