Marat540 [252]

Answer:

a. The company recognizes loss on the sale of the equipment $6,000

b. The entry to record the sale of the equipment:

Debit Cash $3,000

Debit Accumulated depreciation account $16,000

Debit Loss on sale equipment $6,000

Credit Equipment $25,000

Explanation:

To recognize gain or loss on the sale of the equipment:

First, the company calculates the carrying amount of the asset by using the original cost of the asset, minus all accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment charges.

Then, subtract this carrying amount from the sale price of the asset. If the remainder is positive, it is a gain and if the remainder is negative, it is a loss

On December 31, 2019, the carrying amount of the asset = $25,000 - $16,000 = $9,000

Sale price - Carrying amount of the asset = $3,000 - $9,000 = -$6,000

=> The company recognizes loss on the sale of the equipment $6,000

b. The entry to record the sale should be made:

Debit Cash $3,000

Debit Accumulated depreciation account $16,000

Debit Loss on sale equipment $6,000

Credit Equipment $25,000

The Coase theorem states that A) the private sector will fail to produce the efficient amount of a public good because of the fr

Sonja [21]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

One of the problems in economics is the allocation of goods in the presence of externalities. When externalities are present allocation of goods in private market won't be efficient because private parties won't internalize them and would arrive to an inefficient outcome. For many years this was an argument in favor of government intervention.

However, Ronald Coase showed that assigning property rights of the externality to one of the private parties (no matter which one) would result in an efficient outcome. This is because the parties with the property right would then internalize the cost. Then in the bargaining process private parties would reach an efficient outcome without the intervention of the government.
