Answer:

The answer is 150 gallons

Explanation:

First we will write out the relevant information in the question that will help us with our calculation:

Safety stock = 50 gallons

50 gallons = 9% stockout risk

??? gallons = 3% stockout risk

Next, you have to understand that the relationship between the safety stock and stockout risk is an inverse proportion. This means that the bigger the safetystock amount, the smaller the stockout risk, and vice versa. Therefore, there will be a lesser risk of running out of stock, as the safety stock amount increases.

Let g be the safety stock

Let r be the stockout risk

This relationship is represented as:

g = \frac{k}{r}

where k = a constant relating the safety stock and stockout risk.

Therefore :

g*r=k

g_1r_1=g_2r_2

where:

g₁ = 50 gallons

r₁ = 9%

r₂ = 3%

g₂ = ????

Therefore, making g₂ the subject of the formula:

g_2=\frac{g_1*r_1}{r_2}

g_2 = \frac{50*9}{3} = \frac{450}{3} = 150

Therefore, the saftey stock that would provide a stockout risk of 3% = 150 gallons.

Answer:

Trial Balance :    Debit 15558  = 15558 Credit

Explanation:

b.) Noncollectable amount = $5300 * 35% = 1855

 Entry: Dr bad debts expense  1855

                  Cr Allowance for bad debts     1855

        (To record bad debts expense).

5300-1855= 3445 * 3% = $103 will not be collected.

                    Cr Income tax payable   13600

    (To record accrued income tax expense).

Ledgers  :

Bad debt expense = 1855+103 = 1958

Allowance for bad debts = 1855+103 = 1958

Income tax expense = 13600

income tax payable = 13600.

Trial balance:

                               

_Dr__________________________________________________Cr____

        Bad debt expense     1958     -----     1958 Allowance for bad debts

         Income tax expense 13600   -----  13600  Allowance for bad debts

Total =  15558                                              -------      Total = 15558

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

b) help stop bank failures throughout the United States.

Explanation:

A bank run can be defined as a situation where bank clients or depositors make withdrawals of their money simultaneously from banks as a result of them being scared or afraid the depository institution will run out of cash (bankruptcy) and become insolvent.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation which is also generally referred to as the FDIC was a New Deal program introduced by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933 and it was designed to prevent bank failures or bank runs and restore the public's faith in the banking system.

Hence, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was established on the 16th of June, 1933 so as to counter or mitigate the problem with bank runs.

Generally, the income generated from the premium payments of insured banks is used to fund or finance the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

Additionally, to avoid bank runs or other financial institutions from being insolvent, the Federal Reserve (Fed) and Central banks (lender of last resort) are readily accessible and available to give monetary funds to these institutions when they're running out of money and as well as regulate their activities.

In conclusion, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was established in 1933, during the Great Depression, to help stop bank failures throughout the United States.
