Answer:

a. $14,200

Explanation:

The computation of the bad debt expense is shown below:

Balance in Allowance for doubtful Accounts = Opening Balance in Allowance for Doubtful Account - Accounts Wrote Off  + Bad debts recovered

= $20,000 - $11,400 + $4,200

= $9,800

And, Closing Balance is

= $480,000 × 5%

= $24,000

So, the bad debt expense is

= $24,000 - $9,800

= $14,200

We simply applied the above calculations

Explanation:

Yes it is always good to have a bigger clear picture of the things or issues you need to address, but along with the bigger view, minute details are also important. Putting minute details in order will allow you to see the clear and real picture of the scenario. It is no doubt good to have a bigger view of things, but small details constitute the bigger picture, so small details are equally rather more important in getting the things rights. For example if you are at work and you are the in-charge at the manufacturing site, you will not only be concerned about the final product but also need to check the raw materials and all other inputs that are being given in the process to get the required product. So each and every detail is important while working in an organization.

A profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market that is producing on a production curve where the marginal product of labor is
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: A. a downward-sloping labor demand curve.

Explanation:

The labor demand curve is plotted with the quantity of labor demanded vs the real wages paid to labor. In a firm that is producing in a market with a diminishing marginal product of labor, the demand curve will be downward sloping to reflect that the more labor that a company has, the less it pays them.

This is because the extra labor is bringing in less additional revenue and so will need to be paid accordingly to reflect that as more labor is hired, the output decreases.
