Answer:
1. Record the adjustment for uncollectible accounts on December 31, 2018.
Dr Bad debt expense 10,250
Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts 10,250
Allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra asset account that reduces the amount of accounts receivable and has a credit balance.
2. Calculate the net realizable value of accounts receivable.
net realizable value of accounts receivable = total accounts receivable - allowance for doubtful accounts = $41,000 - $10,250 = $30,750
Explanation:
total services on account $142,000
cash collected $101,000, remaining accounts receivable $41,000
25% of remaining accounts receivable will be uncollectible = $41,000 x 25% = $10,250 in bad debts
The annual interest will be calculated as under -
Given, total simple interest for 3 years = $ 390
Principal amount = $ 4000
Interest in total for 3 years = $ 390 ÷ $ 4000 × 100 = 9.75%
Interest for 1 years = 9.75 % ÷ 3 = 3.25%

Explanation:
This is a very general question however I’ll try to answer it to the best of my knowledge.
If I use my own assumptions then these will be the Projections:
Selling Price $79.99 Selling Price $69.99
Cost of Sales/unit $40.00 Cost of Sales/unit $40.00
Expenses/unit $15.00 Expenses/unit $15.00
Demand @ $79.99 1000 Demand @ $69.99 1200
Sales $79,990.00 Sales $83,988.00
Cost of Sales $40,000.00 Cost of Sales $48,000.00
Expenses $15,000.00 Expenses $18,000.00
Profit $24,990.00 Profit $17,988.00
The final decision however relies on the Price Elasticity of the Product. If the Product is Price elastic then lowering the Price will lead to a significant rise in Demand. However if the Product is Price inelastic then lowering the Price will not lead to a significant rise in Demand and thus profit margins will be lowered. If the Product is Price inelastic then it is better to increase prices in order to gain more profits. In the case of Unit Elasticity the change in Demand will be at the same proportion as price change so it won’t be of any use to change the Price.
Answer:
A. doesn't lose any sales when it raises its price
Explanation:
- As monopoly is ruled by one set of prices and they are price makers thus even f the prices rise the price will be set above the marginal cost to maximize the profits. Thus a monopoly does not lose its market share as it acts as a single dominating factor in the supply and trade of the goods and services. And it stipulates the financial dealing through a single seller.
