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.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

Gullette Corporation

Gullette Corporation

Selling and administrative expense budget for April:

April Budgeted unit sales = 3,700

Variable selling and administrative expense per unit = $4.80

Variable selling and administrative expense = $17,760

Fixed selling and administrative expense =     $30,180

Total selling and administrative expense =     $47,940

Less Depreciation expense =                           ($3,450)

Cash disbursements for selling and

  administrative expenses                               $44,490

Explanation:

Data:

Budgeted units sales = 3,700

Variable selling and administrative expense = $4.80 per unit

Budgeted fixed selling and administrative expense = $30,180 per month

Depreciation in fixed expense = $3,450

Gullette Corporation

Selling and administrative expense budget for April:

April Budgeted unit sales = 3,700

Variable selling and administrative expense per unit = $4.80

Variable selling and administrative expense = $17,760

Fixed selling and administrative expense =     $30,180

Total selling and administrative expense =     $47,940

Less Depreciation expense =                           ($3,450)

Cash disbursements for selling and

  administrative expenses                               $44,490

b) Under the budgetary process, Gullette Corporation prepares its selling and administrative expense budget to include the variable and fixed elements.  The variable element of Gullette's selling and administrative expenses varies per unit with the volume of sales, while the fixed element remains relatively constant in total.  The total cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses do not include depreciation.

Why do you think economists can be certain that every
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

En esta primera parte del libro estudiamos lo que para muchos economistas es la pregunta más

importante de la economía: ¿Por qué algunos países tienen mayores niveles de ingreso por

habitante que otros?

En el capítulo 2 definimos el crecimiento económico y presentamos distintas herramientas

útiles para medirlo y analizarlo. Además, presentamos una breve historia del crecimiento

económico, con especial énfasis en la evolución de la economía argentina en el contexto

mundial.

El capítulo 3 es una introducción a la teoría del crecimiento económico. Presentamos allí un

esquema analítico sencillo, en el cual la inversión y el desarrollo tecnológico aparecen como

los determinantes directos del crecimiento. Además, explicamos algunos de los factores que los

economistas han identificado como determinantes más profundos del crecimiento – aquellos

factores que definen el grado de inversión y de desarrollo tecnológico.

Suppose apples come in two quality​ levels, low quality and high quality. At a store in the​ apple-growing region, the price of​
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Given that,

Price of​ low-quality apples = ​$1 per pound

Price of high-quality apples = $4 per pound

Marginal utility of low-quality apples = 3 utils

Marginal utility of high-quality apples = 12 utils

Equimarginal:

(Marginal utility of low quality apples ÷ Price per apple) = (Marginal utility of high quality apples ÷ Price per apples)

(3 utils ÷ $1) = (12 utils ÷ $4)

3 = 3

Yes, Timmy is maximizing his utility as his equimarginal utility is same for both the goods as shown above.

A random experiment with three outcomes has been repeated 50 times, and it was learned that E1 occurred 20 times, E2 occurred 13
enot [183]

Answer:

P(E1)=\frac{20}{50}=0.4

P(E2)=\frac{13}{50}=0.26

P(E3)=\frac{13}{50}=0.34

I used the relative frequency method

Explanation:

To solve this question we can use the relative frequency to find out each probability. The relative frequency is the ratio of the occurrence of each event and the total number of outcomes.

Here the experiment has been repeated 50 times, so that is the total number of outcomes and the denominator. There are 3 possible events E1, E2, and E3, so we can calculate the ratios to get the probabilities

Event E1 occurred 20 times of the 50: P(E1)=\frac{20}{50}

Event E2 occurred 13 times of the 50: P(E2)=\frac{13}{50}

Event E3 occurred 17 times of the 50: P(E3)=\frac{17}{50}
