Answer:

Bad Debt Expense ($40,000 - $3,200)  $36,800

           To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts   $36,800

(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)

Explanation:

The adjusting entry is shown below:

Bad Debt Expense ($40,000 - $3,200)  $36,800

           To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts   $36,800

(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)

For recording this we debited the bad debt expense as it increased the expenses and credited the allowance for doubtful debts as it decreased the value of the assets

And since there is a credit balance so the same is deducted from the account receivable

Keynesian theory is based on the concept that saving and consumption are influenced primarily by real current disposable income.
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

saving and consumption are influenced primarily by real current disposable income

Explanation:

keynesian economics is a known form of economics that is of demand-side in the sense that it encourages government action to increase and decrease demand and output.

Consumption is using ur money by spending it on new goods and services out of a household's current income.

While Saving is simply not eating up or the act of not consuming all of one's current income. Keynes argument was that the interest rate is not the most necessary factor in saving and consumption decisions. Rather, real saving and consumption decisions depend primarily on a household's real disposable income

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The net income for Year 2 is $ 114,482

Explanation:

Accounting Equation is used in order to calculate the closing capital figure of Year 1 and Year 2:

Assets=Liabilities + Equity.

we can rearrange the formula as Assets-Liabilities = Equity

  • So in Year 1. the closing capital is: $910,049-$274,794 = $635,255.
  • In Year 2. the closing capital is : $988,160-$234,792 = $ 753,368

Now we can construct an equation to drive net income of year to by means of balancing figure:

Opening capital year 1:            $635,255

+ Additional Capital in Year 2: $28,651

-Drawing in year 2:                   $(25,020)

Net Income(Balancing figure)   <u>$114,482</u>              

Closing Capital Year 2:            $ 753,368

Joseph buys a Hummer for $59,000, financing it with a five-year 7.60% APR loan paid monthly. He decides to pay an extra $50 per
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

57.07 months.

Joseph must decide whether the 57th payment was $1,327, or he can pay a 58th payment of just $92.

Explanation:

The easiest way to calculate a monthly payment is using a payment calculator:

  • principal = 59,000
  • n = 60
  • APR = 7.6%

Monthly payments = $1,185.04

Since Joseph will pay an extra $50 each month, his payment = $1,235.04

By paying that extra amount Joseph will reduce his payments by almost 3 months to 57.07 months

After the 57th payment, Joseph' balance = $91.43, so he can decide to pay a little on the 57th payment or just pay $92 next month.

Brut [27]

Answer:

a) employees can be motivated by open communication.

Explanation:

The answer is that Howie does not realize that employees can be motivated by open communication because by asking employees suggestions as to how jobs could be restructured to improve productivity, John Noble is trying to have a direct communication allowing employees to express their thoughts which will make them feel as part of the company and valued which will result in them feeling motivated to perform well in their job.

The other options are not right because employees won't be giving their opinions thinking on equity and ways to simplify job tasks are not the only suggestions that employees can provide.
