The amount for adjusting entry of uncollectible accounts is $120,500.

The adjusted balance of accounts receivable shall be $2,150,000.

The adjusted credit balance for the allowance of doubtful accounts is $110,000.

The adjusted debit balance of bad debts expense is $120,500.

The net realizable value of accounts receivable is $2,040,000.

<u>Explanation:</u>

step 1. The allowance for doubtful accounts = unadhusted balance plus adjusted balance

= $10500 plus $110000 = $120500

The amount of adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts is $120500

step 2. the adjusted balance of accounts receivable shall be $2150000

The unadjusted balance of accounts receivable will also be the adjusted balance of accounts receivable as there is no bad debt expense that is to be adjusted from accounts receivable. Therefore, the adjusted balance at the end of the current year is $2,150,000.

step 3. The allowance for doubtful accounst is as follows

Adjusted balance = bad debt minus unadjusted balance

= $120500 minus $10500 = $110000

The adjusted credit balance for the allowance of doubtful accounts is $110,000.

step 4. adjusted bad debt expense = $10500 plus $110000 = $120500

The adjusted debit balance of bad debts expense is $120,500.

step 5. net realizable value = $2150000 minus $110000 = $2040000

The net realizable value of accounts receivable is $2,040,000.

jonny [76]

Answer:

400,000

Explanation:

7% of what number = 28,000

(0.07)(X) = 28,000

X = 400,000

(which is less than 700,000. But that makes sense because not everyone living in Michael's city is necessarily part of the labor force. Some could be kids in school, others grandparents who have retired, others people who stay at home and don't work.)

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

self-actualization

Explanation:

The answer is deeply related to "Maslows Hierarchy of Needs."

Abraham Harold Maslow is a popular American psychologist who introduced a motivational theory consisting of five stages in relation to the<em> deficiency needs and growth needs of humans.</em>

Everything starts with the deficiency needs.<u> It is very important to satisfy this need in order to engage into the growth needs.</u> For example, a boy is very thirsty. If that need will not be met, the boy will continuously crave for water. On the contrary, if this is met immediately, the boy will aim to grow as a person. This is what you call the growth needs.

This needs are presented in a pyramid.

From top to bottom:

1. Self-actualization

2. Self-esteem Needs

3. Love or Belongingness Needs

4. Safety Needs

5. Physiological Needs

It is ideal for a person to progress from Physiological Needs to Self-actualization, but it doesn't mean every stage is always met. Sometimes, fluctuations occur depending on the situation.

Regarding Clarence's case above. It was stated that he already worked as a doctor in a federal government. This means that he has already satisfied his self-esteem needs and the other needs below. Becoming a doctor is a prestige and a feeling of accomplishment. This can be found on the <u>Self-Esteem Needs </u>stage. In addition to this, <em>Clarence already reached his full potential and is seeking for personal growth and independence. </em>This is backed by the statement above that he opened a private clinic to continue his practice. This means he is already on the self-actualization stage of the hierarchy.
