Answer:

$60,000

Explanation:

Since Bailey Co. changed their accounting for insurance expense from the cash-basis to the accrual-basis in the current year, and in January of the prior year, Bailey recorded insurance expense of $240,000 for the cash purchase of a four-year insurance policy.

Bailey should report the insurance transaction in the current year's financial statements of an amortization of the insurance expense over the four year period, and take account the portion that pertains to the current year.

Therefore = $240,000 / 4 years = $60,000 per year

Answer:

Bailey must adjust three accounts:

  1. insurance expense
  2. prepaid insurance
  3. retained earnings

First we will start to adjust retained earnings: since retained earnings were underestimated in the past year because $180,000 more of insurance expense was recorded, then we must increase it by $180,000.

Since the insurance will cover this year plus two more years, we must record two years worth of prepaid insurance = $60,000 x 2 = $120,000

Finally we must record the insurance expense for this year = $60,000

The adjusting entry will be:

Dr Insurance expense 60,000

Dr Prepaid insurance 120,000

    Cr Retained earnings 180,000

Give an example of a successful or unsuccessful transformational leader. What if anything about the context (e.g., industry, mar
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

One transformational leader that we can talk about was Martin Luther King Jr. who was an Activist and Minister who fought for American Civil Rights in the United States in the early 1950s. MLK jr. was both assisted and hindered by the time in history in which his efforts took place. This is because at the time African American Rights were almost non-existant and the Civil Rights movements were at an all time high. This means that MLK jr. was able to amass many followers as he was fighting to make the world a more equal place for everyone, but at the same time it was a time in history where racism was at an all time high as well. This hindered his efforts greatly and ultimately led to his death in 1968. Regardless, Martin Luther King Jr. made one of the biggest impacts in the Civil Rights movements in history as a transformational leader.

Goods with many close substitutes tend to have a. more elastic demands. b. less elastic demands. c. price elasticities of demand
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. more elastic demands.

Explanation:

There are some goods whose demand is very price sensitive, small variations in their price cause large variations in the quantity demanded. It is said of them that they have elastic demand. The goods that, on the contrary, are not sensitive to price are those of inelastic or rigid demand. In these large variations in prices can occur without consumers varying the quantities they demand. The intermediate case is called unit elasticity.

The elasticity of demand is measured by calculating the percentage by which the quantity demanded of a good varies when its price varies by one percent. If the result of the operation is greater than one, the demand for that good is elastic; If the result is between zero and one, its demand is inelastic.

The factors that influence the demand for a good to be more or less elastic are:

1) Type of needs that satisfies the good. If the good is of first necessity the demand is inelastic, it is acquired whatever the price; On the other hand, if the good is luxurious, the demand will be elastic since if the price increases a little, many consumers will be able to do without it.

2) Existence of substitute goods. If there are good substitutes, the demand for good will be very elastic. For example, a small increase in the price of olive oil can cause a large number of housewives to decide to use sunflower.
