Answer:
6%
Explanation:
The computation of the margin of safety percentage is shown below;
The Contribution margin ratio is
= Contribution margin ÷Sales
= ($675,00 ÷ $270,000)
= 0.25
Now breakeven point in dollars is
= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin ratio
= ($63,750 ÷ 0.25)
= $255,000
We know that
Margin of safety = Total sales - Breakeven sales
= ($270,000 - $255,000)
= $15,000
Now Margin of safety % is
= MOS ÷ Total sale
= ($15,000 ÷ $270,000)
= 5.56%
= 6%

The required adjusting entry to record estimated bad debts expense is as follows:
Debit Bad Debts Accounts with $39,960
Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts with $39,960
Being the adjustment to bring the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts up a new credit balance of $43,625.
Explanation:
The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a credit balance of $3,665. Since management had estimated that $43,625 of the Accounts Receivable balance would be uncollectible, this means that the difference $39,960 ($43,625 - $3,665) would be the adjusting amount to bring the balance up-to-date.
Remember that the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a contra account to the Accounts Receivable. It is used to reduce the balance of the Accounts Receivable based on collectibility judgement or estimate which management makes out of experience. The balance in this account is, therefore d,educted from the Accounts Receivable in the Balance Sheet in order to obtain the net Accounts Receivable balance.
The account that expenses the increase in this account is the Bad Debts Expense Account, which is taken to the Income Statement to reduce the income.
Answer:
Price is lower than ; Quantity is higher than Monopolistic Competition
Explanation:
Perfect Competition is a market form with many buyers & sellers, selling homogeneous products at constant prices. Having uniform prices, It has perfectly elastic horizontal demand (Average Revenue) curve, ie = Marginal Revenue curve. Equilibrium price is where MR = MC ; So price = MC. This leads to optimal quantity supplied in market
Monopolistically competitive is market form having many sellers, selling slightly differentiated products, at different prices. Their demand curve (AR curve) is usually downward sloping, lies above the MR curve. Market equilibrium quantity is determined at MR = MC. The corresponding price is determine as per higher demand (AR) curve. Price > MC implies less than optimal quantity supplied in markets
Hence : Broccoli would be lower priced & higher supplied in case of perfect competition market, relatively higher priced & less supplied in case of monopolistic competition market.
