Answer:
Autonomous consumption is <u>$1,000</u> and the marginal propensity to consume is <u>0.9</u>.
A consumer whose income increases by $100 will increase consumption by <u>$90</u>.
Explanation:
Given C = 1000 + 0.9Y
Autonomous consumption refers to consumption expenditure of consumers that does not depend on income. Therefore, autonomous consumption is therefore the consumption expenditure made by the consumers when they do not have income or when income is zero (i.e. when Y = 0).
Substituting for Y = 0 into the consumption function, we can obtain autonomous consumption is follows:
Autonomous consumption = 1000 + (0.9 * 0) = 1,000
The marginal propensity to consume refers to the proportion of the increase in disposable income that is spent on the consumption of goods and services by a consumer. From the consumption function, the marginal propensity to consume is 0.9.
Since marginal propensity to consume is 0.9, a consumer whose income increases by $100 will therefore increase consumption by $90 (i.e. $100 * 0.9 = $90).
Answer:
A. $800
Explanation:
Ana Co.
Sales $500,000
Accounts Receivable $40,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts $300 Credit
Bad Debts Expense = 2 % of $ 40,000= $ 800
The adjusting entry would be
Bad Debts Expense $ 800 Dr.
Allowance for doubtful accounts $800 Credit
As we already have a credit balance of $ 300 in the doubtful accounts we will increase it with an amount of $ 500.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $ 500 Debit
Account Receivable $ 500 Credit
