A collusive agreement between two firms is likely to break down when detection of cheaters is difficult .

Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

Collusion is a secret agreement between two or more parties to suppress open competition by misleading, lying or defrauding others of their rightfulness or achieving a goal prohibited by law that usually is to defraud or gain an unacceptable market advantage.  

It is an agreement between companies or individuals that divides a market establishes prices, limits or limits production opportunities. It can include "strike, pay manipulation, kickbacks or the freedom of the relationship between the two parties." All collusion-driven actions are considered null and void legally.

In the USA, Canada collusion is illegal because of antitrust legislation, but implicit collusion even now takes place in the method of price management and tacit agreement.  

Example: Google and Apple announced that both firms decided not to hire people to work together to stop wage growth in 2015, a statement against bullying collusion by employees.

Consider a firm that uses capital and labor as inputs and sells 20,000 units of output per year at the going market price of $15
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

C. The firm is profitable because profit equals $27,500.

Explanation:

For computing the profit, the following formula should be used

Profit = Total revenue - total cost

where,

Total revenue = Number of units sold × market price

                        = 20,000 units × $15

                        = $300,000

And, the total cost would be

= Labor cost of the firm + total capital stock × given percentage

= $248,500 + $400,000 × 6%

= $248,500 + $24,000

= $272,500

Now the profit would be

= $300,000 - $272,500

= $27,500

omeli [17]

Answer:

The bank reconciliation statement is as shown below:

                                                Amount in $

Balance per bank statement     33,650.00  

Deposit in transit                               9,150.00  

Outstanding check                    (17,865.00)

Bank charges                                   80.00  

Note collected                             (6,095.00)

Returned check                                (540.00)

Check drawn                             <u>   (630.00) </u>

Book balance                             <u> 17,750.00</u><u> </u>

Explanation:

Deposit in transit has been recorded in the books, thus the addition to the bank balance. Bank charges have been deducted from the bank balance but not in the cash book hence it is added back. Note collected is yet to be recognized in the books hence the deduction from the bank balance.

Amount recorded from the check returned is more than the actual by $540 hence the deduction. The check drawn has been over charged by the bank to the tune of $630 hence the deduction.

Murljashka [212]

Allowance method of accounting for bad debts .

Option - B

<u>Explanation: </u>

The financial accounting term payments method refers to a system that is unplayable and records a bad debt expenditure estimate in the same period of accounting as the purchase. The deduction is used to adjust the cash flow accounts receivable.

The payment method is a better solution to the direct payment method because it is in line with the matching accounting theory.

Bad debts expenses are recognized soon since bad debts are likely and can be estimated to a fairly precise degree so that they meet the criteria necessary to recognize predicated losses and recognize the costs of bad debts.
