Answer: Cereals and breads in the United States and Canada are now fortified with folic acid.

Explanation:

Many countries have commanded the addition of folic acid to certain foods to reduce the possibilities of the appearance of neural tube defects, with quite successful results.

In 1998, the United States required folic acid fortification of all cereal grain products identified as enriched. That same year, Canada required fortification of white flour, enriched pasta, and cornmeal.

Costa Rica, Chile and South Africa have also experienced a decrease in neural tube defects as a consequence of the fortification process.

What was Britain’s primary goal in passing the Tea Act of 1773?
tatuchka [14]

Answer: The act’s main purpose was not to raise revenue from the colonies but to bail out the floundering East India Company, a key actor in the British economy. The British government granted the company a monopoly on the importation and sale of tea in the colonies. The colonists had never accepted the constitutionality of the duty on tea, and the Tea Act rekindled their opposition to it.

When using the allowance​ method, the​ write-off of a receivable​ ________. A. involves a​ contra-revenue account B. affects the
MrRa [10]

Answer:

B- affects the net realizable value of accounts receivable

Explanation:

The mechanics of the allowance method are that the initial entry is a debit to bad debt expense and a credit to the allowance for doubtful accounts (which increases the reserve). The allowance is a contra account, which means that it is paired with and offsets the accounts receivable account. When a specific bad debt is identified, the allowance for doubtful accounts is debited (which reduces the reserve) and the accounts receivable account is credited (which reduces the receivable asset). If a customer subsequently pays an invoice that has already been written off, then the process is reversed to increase both the allowance and the accounts receivable account, after which the cash account is debited to increase the cash balance and the accounts receivable account is credited to reduce the receivable asset.
