Answer:

$3,355

Explanation:

Accounts receivables = $ 352,000

Debit Allowance for uncollectible accounts = 630

Net Sales = $797,000

The company estimates that 0.5% of net credit sales are uncollectible

Estimates of uncollectible receivables

= 0.5% × $797,000

=$3985

This is the total amount to be recognized at the end of the year as Bad Debts Expense. Since a debit of $630 has been recognized already, additional debit required

= 3985 - 630

= $3,355

The amount to be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared is $3,355.

In my case, I know from experience and heredity that for example my father died of a second heart attack at least partly because of his high cholesterol. The high cholesterol was related to his high metabolism so that he ate a lot of eggs and bacon when young so that probably produced a lot of bad cholesterol. Myself I also have a tendency to high cholesterol and was warned by my dad's doctor to watch it so consequently I mostly avoid dairy products and egg yolk and beef (red meat) and am mostly able to control it that way with diet so haven't had a heart attack yet.

Suppose a recent and widely circulated medical article reports new benefits of exercise. Simultaneously, the price of the parts
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Equilibrium quantity increases; Equilibrium price is indeterminate.

Explanation:

If a new article reports that there are many benefits of exercise, this will increase the demand for exercise bikes and shifts the demand curve rightwards.

At the same time, there is a fall in the price of parts of exercise bikes which reduces the cost of production of exercise bikes. Now, the producer will be able to produce more exercise bikes, so the supply of exercise bikes increases and shifts the supply curve rightwards.

Therefore, there is an increase in the equilibrium quantity of exercise bikes and the impact on equilibrium price is indeterminate because that will be dependent upon the magnitude of the shift of demand and supply curve.
