Answer: The sale price to the nearest dollar was $61,202

We arrive at the answer as follows:

The term 'netted' refers to the seller's profits after deducting costs and commissions.

Hence we need to add back these amounts to arrive at the sale price.

                      Net Proceeds                                       $55,000

<u>Add:              Costs                                                          $1,000   </u>

                     Total                                                         $56,000  

The commission is 8.5%; however commissions are quoted as a percentage of sales price.

Expressed in other words, if the sale price was 100, commissions were 8.5. That would mean that the total above would be the equivalent of 100 - 8.5 = 91.5

From this we can arrive at the sale price as follows:

Sales Price = \frac{56000 * 100}{91.5}

Sales Price = 61,202

n 2018, Warehouse 13 had net credit sales of $750,000. On January 1, 2018, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a credit balance
Finger [1]

Answer:

$28,000

Explanation:

When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.  

To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.

Given that Past experience indicates that the allowance should be 10% of the balance in receivables

Allowance = 10% * $150,000

= $15,000

Since during 2018, $29,000 of uncollectible accounts receivable were written off

Balance in allowance account before adjustment

= $29,000 - $16,000

= $13,000 (Debit)

Required adjustment for Doubtful Accounts at December 31, 2018

= $13,000 + $15,000

= $28,000

1. What percentage of all businesses are partnerships?
puteri [66]
1.)The percentage of every business that is a partnership is only 7%. Many people prefer to not have partners in their business because of problems it can cause if one can't afford the business anymore. 

2.) One major advantage of a business that is a partnership rather than a sole proprietorship is that <span>the responsibility for the business is shared. This way one person does not have everything put on them and they won't have so much stress. 

3.) </span><span>The difference between a limited partnership and a limited liability partnership is that when they are in a limited partnership, all partners are limited from liability in some situations. 

4.) An asset in a company is the money and other valuables. An example is a diamond store, the assets would be all the inventory of gems and all the money they have. 

5.) A general partnership is organized in a way that every partner shares equally in bother the responsibility and the liability. </span>

Trauma is defined by the individual person who experienced it True or False
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Yes the given statement is true.

Explanation:

Trauma is defined as a deep disturbing, bad or stressful experience. When a person experiences a distress situation, a highly disturbing event, he or she is said to have experienced a trauma. Trauma is defined by the individual person who experienced it. There might me many persons who are affected by the bad experience, but trauma is considered on individual level. For example if someone loses his most near and dear one, he may face trauma. I can give you my personal example, when my mama passed away, i was in a state of trauma. I felt so devastated, and experienced an extremely stressful condition because i was so much attached to her and her sudden death left me in trauma.

So this is something which is always at an individual level.
