Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

The required reserve ratio is 5 percent.

A commercial bank has $2 million cash in its vault, $1 million in government securities, $3 million on deposit at the Fed, and $60 million in checkable deposits.  

The required reserves

= Required\ reserve\ ratio\ \times\ checkable\ deposits

= 0.05\ \times\ \$60 million

= 3 million

The total reserves are the amount in the vault and the deposits at the fed. So, the total reserves are $5 million.  

The excess reserves are

= $5 million - $3 million

= $2 million

f interest rates are rising in an economy, what might the relationship be between savings and investment that is causing this to
aleksklad [387]

Answer: b) Investment demand had been greater than savings

Explanation:

Investment in the economy comes from savings by households also known as Loanable funds. If investment demand is higher than the savings supply this demand will pull the interest rate up due to a lack of loanable funds.

As the interest rates are pulled up, more people will be encouraged to save their money in other to benefit from the higher interest rates thereby increasing the loanable funds in the market.

Proposal #2 would establish local collection centers throughout the region to decrease the time it takes to convert credit payme
mezya [45]

Answer: a. $120,000

b. $6,000

c. Yes

Explanation:

a. It is said that the collection centres would help reduce the collection time by 2 days and that every day $60,000 comes in.

If the proposal will reduce the amount of time taken to collect by 2 days then that means that the amount freed up is the amount that they would have collected in two days had it not been for the system.

That amount would be,

= $60,000 * 2

= $120,000

b. If they used this free up cash to pay off a debt that was accumulating 5% per year then the 5% will be saved.

The amount saved therefore is,

= 120,000 * 5%

= $6,000

By retiring a $120,000 that was accruing $6,000 a year, the proposal has enabled that $6,000 to be saved instead.

c. The cost of implementing this proposal is $5,200 per year and yet the savings it gives in interest is $6,000.

As the savings are higher than the cost, the number definitely suggest that the project should be implemented because it is more beneficial than it costs.

Exercise 8-3
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

(a) Prepare the entries to record sales and collections during the period.

  • It had net credit sales of $800,000  

Dr Accounts receivable $ 800,000

Cr Sales $ 800,000

  • Collections of $763,000.

Dr CASH $ 763,000

Cr Accounts receivable $ 763,000

(b) Prepare the entry to record the write-off of uncollectible accounts during the period.

  • It wrote off as uncollectible accounts receivable of $7,300  

Dr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 7,300

Cr Accounts receivable $ 7,300

(c) Prepare the entries to record the recovery of the uncollectible account during the period.

  • However, a $3,100 account previously written off as uncollectible was recovered before the end of the current period.  

Dr Accounts receivable $ 3,100

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 3,100

(d) Prepare the entry to record bad debt expense for the period.

  • Uncollectible accounts are estimated to total $25,000 at the end of the period.  

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 20,200

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $ 20,200

Explanation:

If the company applies the allowance method, it means that the account Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts must show as balance the estimated value of $25,000

Because the company already has a CREDIT balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts it's necessary to register an entry that complement the existing value and reflect the estimated value, $ 20,200  

Bad accounts are those credits granted by the company and there is no possibility of being charged.

When customers buy products on credits but the company cannot collect the debt, then it's necessary to cancel the unpaid invoice as uncollectible.

One way is to directly cancel bad debts at the time it was decided that the credit is bad, the total amount reported as bad debt expenses negatively affect the income statement and the accounts receivable are reduced by the same amount, less assets

The other way is to determine a percentage of the total amount of accounts receivable as bad debts, there are many ways to analyze accounts receivable and calculate the value of bad debts.

When the company has the percentage of uncollectible accounts, the required journal entry is Bad Expenses (debit) with Reserve for Bad Accounts (credit)

At the time of cancellation, since the expenses were recognized before, we only use the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Debit)  with accounts receivable (credit), with this we are recognizing the bad credit of the company.

The price elasticity of demand for a particular cancer drug is zero and the price elasticity of supply is 0.50. If a $1 excise t
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

$1 or 100% of the tax

Explanation:

When the price elasticity of demand is 0, it means that the good or service will be purchased regardless of its cost. Very few things have such a low price elasticity, and the fact that this is drug for treating cancer is the reason why that happens. Anyone that can purchase a drug that will keep you alive, will do so as long as you have enough money to do so. Another good with a very low price elasticity, but not 0, is gasoline with a 0.02 to 0.04, and gasoline is a basic necessity also.

The curve for a perfectly inelastic good is vertical. So any increase in taxes will be paid by the customers.

Marrrta [24]

A map from trade development commissions or chamber of commerce can help identify <em>major areas of commerce and location.</em>

Explanation:

Google map helps with location of building but will not give information about the commerce aspect of the building.

But since the Trade Development Commission has exclusive responsibility to provide that, then it will be more useful to identify major areas of commerce and their locations.
