Answer:

c. firms are free to enter and exit the market.

Explanation:

A monopolistically competitive market is a market in which there are a lot of organizations that sell products that are similar and it tends to be easy to enter and leave the industry. Because it is easy for a company to enter the market and there is a lot of competition, in the long run the economic profit is zero. According to this, the answer is that in the long run, profits in a monopolistically competitive market are zero because firms are free to enter and exit the market.

The other options are not right because a monopolistically competitive market has zero profits because of its low entry barriers and amount of competitors not because of government regulations or an illegal agreement between organizations to control competition. Also, in a monopolistically competitive market the products are similar.

Calistoga Produce estimates bad debt expense at 0.60% of credit sales. The company reported accounts receivable and allowance fo
liraira [26]

Answer: Calistoga's final balance in its allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2021 is $246.

Explanation: Calistoga Produce applies percentage of credit sales method to estimate its bad debt expense. So 0.60% of $331,000 (credit sales) = $1,986 and the balance in allowance for doubtful accounts is $1,520. The following journals would be recorded to adjust for the estimate:

Debit Bad debt expense                                      $466

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts           $466

The $466 is the difference between $1,986 and $1,520

Now that the company writes off $1,740 accounts receivable, the following journal entries apply:

Debit Allowance for doubtful account              $1,740

Credit Accounts receivable                                $1,740

In summary, the allowance account movement is as follows:

Opening balance                                                 $1,520

Additional bad debt expense                                 466

Write-off during the year                                     (1,740)

Balance, end of the year                                       $246

Kruka [31]

Answer:

<em>Options Include:</em>

A. $20,000

B. $16,800

C. $18,200

<em>D. $21,800 is Correct</em>

Explanation:

Interest income for a bond provided at a discount is equal to the total of both the periodic cash flows as well as the value of the amortized bond discount during the interest duration.

Periodic cash flows are equivalent to $20,000 ($500,000 death benefit multiply by 8 percent coupon rate multiply 1/2 year). The amortization for the discount is provided as $1,800.

<em>Income for the six-month period from July 1 to December 31, Year 4, is therefore $21,800 ($20,000 + $1,800).</em>
