Answer:

debit to Bad Debt Expense for $5800

Explanation:

Accounts receivable estimated as uncollectible = $8500

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $2700

Additional allowance for Doubtful debts required = $8500 - $2700

                                                                                  = $5800

The adjustment to record bad debts for the period will be

Debit Bad debt expense   $5800

Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  $5800

The right option is debit to Bad Debt Expense for $5800

alexdok [17]

The shareholder equity is equal to:

$28/share * 13 700 shares = $ 383,600

This is the total capital of Davidson International. Now, assuming that there is no additional income since it is not implied in the problem, the total equity does not change. However, the shares become: 13,700 + 500 = 14 200 shares.

Price per share now becomes:

$383 600 / 14 200 shares = $27/share

Recently, Pfizer and Allergan – the makers of Viagra and Botox, respectively – initiated a $160 billion merger. Pharmaceutical c
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Lerner index for Botox = 0.9

Explanation:

The Lerner index measures market power in an industry. The formula for calculating the Lerner index is: L = (P - MC) / P

Lerner index for Botox = ($15 - $1.50) / $15 = 0.9

0.9 in the Lerner index means that a company has a very large market power. Under this situation, this is quite logical since Allergen has a monopoly on Botox, at least until the patent expires.

The Lerner index varies between 0 and 1, with 0 being a situation of perfect competition and 1 a monopolistic situation.

gtnhenbr [62]

<u>Answer</u> is D. remain at $30,000.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rick's Internet Corporation balance in retained earnings = $30,000

Appropriated earning for future business expansion = $15,000

This appropriated earning set for future use will have no effect on the total retained earnings, because for appropriate retained earnings,  the entry is to debit the retained earnings account.

Also, it would be board's decision if they want to use the money from the retained earnings or add more capital to it.

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

B. A loan that is repaid in equal monthly payments for a specific period of time, usually several years.

C. A loan where you have to promise to give the bank your assets if you do not repay the loan.

Explanation:

A Consumer installment loan is also known as a closed end credit. It is a form of loan whereby the consumers are expected to pay back in a regular manner usually monthly over a period of time which could span between one to  about forty years.

The loan is given based on how credit worthy the consumer is.

A mortgage loan, and a car loan are examples of consumer installment loans.

Sony Corporation conducted a series of consumer use tests in the 1990's in which consumers were given samples of its experimenta
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

4) Problem analysis

Explanation:

Problem analysis refers to a method of investigating consumer needs under certain complex conditions. It is carried out in order to improve systems, processes and designs.

In this scenario, Sony was offering an extremely disruptive product which wasn't very user friendly but as we all know had a huge potential. Sony's original digital camera was very large, huge compared to normal cameras that used film. It was also very slow and it wasn't very good at taking pictures. Is main advantage was that it used 3¹/₂ floppy disk instead of film.

I'm not sure but I believe it could store around 10-12 pictures and then you had to use another disk. Finally people could start to take a lot of pictures without having to worry about high printing costs. My family had the final commercial product, and if that was the good product, I imagine that those that participated in the product analysis probably had to use and work with something slightly worse.
