Answer:

The net contribution to the Current Account Balance of Country A is $50

Explanation:

The credit entries include those entries which bring the money into the economy whereas the debit entries are those entries in which the expenses are more incurred or we can say more outflow of cash is there.

The debit and credit entries are shown below:

Debit entries:

1.  Country A's firms import from Country C $500 worth of steel

2. Country A's residents buy Country C's government bonds for $1000

3.  Country A's residents pay $100 in dividends on Country C's investments in Country A

Credit entries:

1. Country A's firms export to Country B $100 worth of grain

2. Country A's workers resident in Country B receive $500 in wages

3. Country A's residents receive $50 in interest from Country C's bonds they owned

4. Country A's central bank acquires $1000 worth of Country C's currency

Now the net contribution of the current account balance would be

= Total credit balance - total debit balance

= $100 + $500 + 50 + $1,000 - $500 - $1,000 - $100

= $50

The negative amount represents debit balance whereas the positive amount reflect a credit balance

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Bad Debt Expense Dr. $28050        

Allowance for Uncollectible accounts Cr. $28050

Explanation:

given data

credit sales = $620,000

accounts receivable = $320,000

past due = $55,000

credit balance = $2,600

rate = 7 %

rate = 22 %

solution

so here Not yet past due is = $320,000 - $55,000 -

Not yet past due = $265,000

and

past due = $55,000

so  Required provision is

Required provision = $265,000 × 7 % + $55,000 × 22 %

Required provision = $30650

and

Opening balance is $2,600

so

Required expense for year = $30650 - $2,600

Required expense for year  = $28050

so here

correct entry is

Bad Debt Expense Dr. $28050        

Allowance for Uncollectible accounts Cr. $28050

Question Suppose you have $200,000 in a bank term account. You earn 5% interest per annum from this account. You anticipate that
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Deposited amount will decrease by 1% and $2,000

Explanation:

Inflation rate will effect the value of money due to decrease in purchasing power of the currency holder.

We will use following formula to calculate the impact

Nominal rate = Real interest rate + Inflation rate

5% = Real interest rate + 6%

Real interest rate = 5% - 6% = -1%

The deposited amount will be decreased by 1%.

Deposit value = $200,000 x ( 1 - 1% ) = $198,000

Decrease in value = $200,000 - $198,000 = $2,000
