Sales Discounts 190 debit

Allowance for Sales Discounts 190 credit

Explanation:

From the current accounts receivable, the company has 10,000 within discount period and t expect the customer will take them so:

Chiquita produces bananas for an average explicit cost of $0.25 per banana and sells 1 million bananas per week for a price of $

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Implicit costs per week = $200,000

Average explicit cost per banana = $0.25 per banana

Per week bananas sold = 1 million

Explicit cost = Average explicit cost per banana × No. of banana sold

= $0.25 × 1,000,000

= $250,000

Total revenue = No. of banana sold × Selling price of each banana

= 1,000,000 × $0.50

= $500,000

Accounting profit = Total revenue - Explicit cost

= $500,000 - $250,000

= $250,000

Economic profit:

= Total revenue - Explicit cost - Implicit costs

= $500,000 - $250,000 - $200,000

= $50,000

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

A price increase of 1% will reduce quantity demanded by 4%

Explanation:

If the price elasticity is 4 then, this demand is highly responsive to changes in price.

So it will decrease by more than the price increase.

we must remember that the price-elasticity is determinate like:

↓QD / ΔP = price-elasticity

if the cofficient is 4 then a 1% increase in price:

↓QD / 0.01 = 4

↓QD = 0.04

Quantity demanded will decrease by 4%

(To record write-off of accounts receivable - Miscellaneous)

Explanation:

April 13: Shipway Company wrote-off account of Dean Sheppard, this means there would be a reduction in both allowance for doubtful accounts and accounts receivable.
The receipt on May 15 of $3,270 reduced the accounts receivable but increased cash. However, the write-off of $5,410 caused a reduction in both the allowance account and accounts receivable.
When there was a receipt of $6,530 on July 27, the accounts receivable would be reinstated and then adjusted for the cash receipt.
Lastly, the write-off of the uncollectible accounts from miscellaneous customers were added up to arrive at $13,330.
