During the recent​ recession, several European countries proposed austerity measures that would help shrink the size of the nati

onal deficits within the countries. These proposed measures included tax hikes and cuts in government spending. When this happened in the United States in the​ 1990s, there was an accompanying decrease in the policy rate to help avoid slowing the economy down too much. Why was this same policy decision more difficult in​ Europe? A. In response to the​ recession, the policy rate in Europe had already been lowered close to the zero lower​ bound, so additional decreases were not viable. B. Europeans protested against the austerity​ measures, which angered the​ government; it responded by intentionally not taking steps to limit the impact of these measures. C. There is no mechanism in Europe to change the policy rate like there is in the United States. D. European governments had never implemented these types of austerity policies before so they were not aware of the need for monetary policy to limit the impacts.

Andru [333]

Answer and Explanation:

The Journal entry is shown below:-

a. Bad Debt Expense Dr, $36,800            ($40,000 – $3,200)

                    To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $36,800

For recording this we debited the bad debt expense as it increased the expenses and at the same time it reduced the assets so the allowance for doubtful accounts is credited

b. Bad Debt Expense Dr, $40,730          ($40,000 + $730)

     To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $40,730

For recording this we debited the bad debt expense as it increased the expenses and at the same time it reduced the assets so the allowance for doubtful accounts is credited

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sykora, Inc., which uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours, estimated total overhead for the year to be $12,000,000 and total direct labor hours to be 320,000 hours.

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 12,000,000/320,000= $37.5 per direct labor hour

In April, Sykora incurred actual overhead costs of $1,050,000 and used 30,000 hours.

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 37.5*30,000= $1,125,000

Over/under allocation= real MOH - allocated MOH

Over/under allocation= 1,050,000 - 1,125,000= 75,000 overallocated

Trade credit and discounts are important strategies used by firms in the daily operations of their business. Calculate the cost
Olegator [25]

Answer:

When a discount is given as 2/12, Net 32, it means that the customer is allowed a 2% discount if they pay off their purchase in 12 days. If they don't, they would have to pay off the full amount in 32 days.

The Cost of a firm's credit is calculated by the formula:

= Discount %/ ( 100% - Discount %) * (360/Allowed payment days - Discount days)

a. 2 / 12, Net 32

= (2%/ (100 - 2% )) * (360 / (32 - 12))

= 36.73%

b) 3/15, Net 36

= (3%/ (100 - 3% )) * (360 / (36 - 15))

= 53.02%

c) 2.5/18, Net 35

= (2.5%/ (100 - 2.5% )) * (360 / (35 - 18))

= 54.30%

d) 2.25/20, Net 38

= (2.25%/ (100 - 2.25% )) * (360 / (38 - 20))

= 46.04%
