Answer:

(A) -5/6

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded ÷ % change in price

% change in quantity demanded = (60-40)/40 × 100 = 20/40 × 100 = 50%

% change in price = ($6-$15)/$15 × 100 = -$9/$15 × 100 = -60%

Price elasticity of demand = 50% ÷ -60% = -5/6

On February 1, a customer's account balance of $2,700 was deemed to be uncollectible. What entry should be recorded on February
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

On February 1, a customer's account balance of $2,700 was deemed to be uncollectible.

The entry to be recorded on February 1 to record the write-off assuming the company uses the allowance method is:

Debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $2,700; credit Accounts Receivable $2,700.

Explanation:

Using the allowance method, every bad debt entry is first reflected in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts before it is taken to the bad debt expense account.

The entries above reduce the Accounts Receivable account by the amount of the write-off and reduces the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts by the same amount.  Any recovery of written off debt is also treated in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and the Accounts Receivable account in revised order.  This method is unlike the direct write-off method.  With the direct write-off method, the Accounts Receivable is credited with the amount of the write-off and the write-off is expensed in the Bad Debts Expense account directly.

poizon [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Retaining a higher percentage of earnings will result in a lower growth rate.; Long-run earnings growth will decrease when firms retain earnings and reinvest them in the business.

Explanation:

In the first statement, a deliberate action is shown that consists of the capitalization of the entity, that is, the equity is accumulated in order to distribute it among the shareholders and leave a part to support the company. In the second statement, it means that the positive results of the company will not be seen in the long term due to management's dispositions to execute a policy to capitalize the entity and improve its cash flow by reinvesting the perceived resources.
