Answer:
b. the supply of ivory has fallen, leading to an increase in price and reward for poaching.
Explanation:
In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.
The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.
Poaching can be defined as an illegal or illegitimate procurement (purchase) of protected wildlife living organisms such as elephants, fish, trees, gaming, etc.
In an attempt to reduce poaching of elephant tusks for ivory, officials in Kenya burned illegally gathered ivory. Economists tend to point out that the supply of ivory has fallen, leading to an increase in price and reward for poaching in accordance with the law of supply.
This ultimately implies that, an increase in the price level of a product usually results in a decrease in the quality of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve.

Answer:
Debit Bad debt expense $19,000
Credit Allowance for doubtful debt $19,000
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.
Where a debit that had previously been determined to have gone bad gets settled, debit cash and credit bad debt expense.
Amount that may be uncollectible
= 4% * $600,000
= $24,000
Given that the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a $5,000 credit balance before adjustment, the additional amount to be adjusted for
= $24,000 - $5,000
= $19,000
Answer:
Price Floor led Excess Supply can be solved by : Preserving goods Buffer Stock ; or processing goods to increase their shelf life (in case of perishable goods like Milk)
Explanation:
Unregulated markets are at equilibrium where : market demand , market supply are equal ; and downward sloping demand curve , upward sloping supply curve intersect.
Price Floor is minimum mandated price set by government, below which a good can't be sold in the market. It is usually set above equilibrium price, to protect interest of sellers. Example : Minimum Support Price as minimum agricultural goods price to protect interest of farmers, Given Milk Price floor case.
Price Floor creates artificially higher prices ; so increases supply, decreases supply & hence creates Excess Supply. Government can solve this excess supply by preserving stock supply for contingent times , eg - maintaining buffer stock. If the good is of perishable nature, as given milk case : it should be processed further to increase its shelf life, eg - cheese, such that the stock supply can be released at a slower pace.
