When a utility bill is paid with cash, cash is decreased and utilities expense is __________?

1 answer:

4 0

I believe the answer Increased.
Utility bill is considered as an expense that could be deducted from profit for taxation purpose. (all expense are recorded in debet when increased)
Because we pay the bill with cash, there would be a cash outflow from our reserve toward the utility provider, hence resulting in decreasing cash.

Answer:

Current liability refers to the short term obligations of the firm which need to be settled down within a period of one year or within a normal operating cycle.

(a) $0 would be reported as current liability, as it is not a current liability. It is a contingent liability.

(b) The amount of current liability is $192,900 because it is a liability of a firm to pay bonuses to the employees.

= $900,000 × 0.08 × (1/12)

= $6,000

Payment of interest on loan is a liability of the firm.

(d) $0 would be indicated in current liability, because provision for doubtful accounts is subtracted from the total accounts receivable to determine the net account receivables.

(e) Proposed dividend is a part of current liability and the amount of dividend to be shown as current liability is as follows:

= Dividend per share × No. of shares outstanding

= $3.50 per share × 41,810

= $146,335

(f) Customer advances is a current liability and the amount of customer advances to be reported in current liability is calculated as follows:

= Customer advances - Amount earned this year

= $193,100 - $57,900

= $135,200

What characteristics of weak noncovalent interactions enable the assembly, stability, and functions of biomolecules?

Vesna [10]

Non covalent interactions within the macro molecules determine the three dimensional structures of the macro molecules. Non covalent interactions are also involved in many biological processes in which large molecules bind specifically and transiently to one another. <span />

In a closed economy, saving and investment must be equal, but this is not the case in an open economy. In the following problem,

Leni [432]

Answer:

Y = C + I + G + NX

S = Y - C

S = I + G + NX

Explanation:

National Income Y = C + I + G + NX ; {where consumption, investment, government purchases, net exports ie exports - imports are corresponding expenditure of households, firms, government, rest of the world}

National Saving (S) is income (Y) left after paying for consumption (C) . So, S = Y - C

Using above equations, Y = C + S , Y = C + I + G + NX

C + S = C + I + G + NX

So, S = I + G + NX

The emphasis on keeping customers for long periods of time is the central focus of ______ value and the reason firms focus on cu

Archy [21]

Answer:

Customer Lifetime Value

Explanation:

Customer Lifetime Value is a measure of how much amount of money a customer spends on your business/products/services over the course of his whole lifetime.

It is a predictor of how well you are doing to retain your existing customers.

Why is it important?

suppose you spend $10 to advertise your product (belt) and a customer buys 5 belts on average every year for 15 years. You get $12 profit for each belt sold.

$12*5*15= 900$ $

Subtract the advertising cost

$900-10=890$ $ This is your customer lifetime value

Now imagine what would have happen if we had to sell these belts to 75 different customers?

The advertising cost to attract 75 customers would have been too much and hence net profit and customer lifetime value would be very less.

$75*10=750$ $

$900-750=150$ $

This is why customer lifetime value is important and businesses focus on retaining their customers for longer periods.
