Answer:

1. the year-end balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts is $6,680.

2. The bad debt for the year is -$2,320.

Explanation:

1. To calculate the year-end balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts:

First we calculate the Account Receivable which is calculated as thus:

==> Account Receivable (ending balance) = accounts receivable (beginning balance) + Credit sales - cash collected - written off accounts receivable.

==> 300,000 + 1,500,000 - 1,450,000 - 16,000 = $334,000

Therefore the account receivable = $334,000.

Estimated percentage of bad debts = 2%

allowance of uncollectible accounts = Account Receivable x Estimated percentage.

==> $334,000 x 2% = $6,680

Hence, the year-end balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts is $6,680.

2. To calculate the bad debt expense for the year, we use:

allowance of uncollectible acountsl (ending balance) - [Allowance of uncollectible account (opening balance) - accounts receivables written off)

==> $6,680 - ($25,000 - $16,000)

= 6,680 - 9,000

= -$2,320

The bad debt for the year is -$2,320. This is incurred when customers pay for an invoice when it has been written off.

Answer:

1. Calculate the year-end balance in the allowance for uncollectible accounts.

allowance for uncollectible accounts balance = $25,000 (beginning balance) - $16,000 (write offs) + $30,000 (credit sales $1,500,000 x 2%) = $39,000

2. Calculate bad debt expense for the year.

bad debt expense = credit sales x 2% = $1,500,000 x 2% = $30,000

Explanation:

to record write offs:

Dr Allowance for uncollectible accounts 16,000

Cr Accounts receivable 16,000

Explanation:

GDP represents the total value of all the goods and services produced within the country. The expenditure method is one of the methods that economist use in calculating the value of GDP. Expenditure refers to spending. In measuring the GDP, the expenditure method takes account of expenditure on all the output of a country. Economists add up the values of finals goods and services produced within the borders of a country and multiply them by their prices. The result is the nominal GDP.

The formula for calculating GDP is as follows

GDP equals consumer spending on goods and services plus investor spending on business capital goods plus government spending on public goods and services plus net exports

In Germany, GDP will increase by $38,000. It is the value of the car produced in Germany. In the formula, it is part of the net exports for the country.

In Finland, the GDP will increase by $50,000. It is the value of services offered by the American while working in Finland. In Calculating GDP, all output within the country is considered regardless of the person who produced it.

In the USA, the GDP will increase by 0$. The car was bought in the US, but it was an import. The expenditure formula does not consider imports. The amount of $50,000 was not earned within the borders of the US.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

d. .64.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measure the responsiveness of demand against change in the price of given product. It measures the ratio of change in demand to change in price.

Change in demand = ( 2200 - 2000 ) / [ (2200+2000)/2 ] = 200 / 2100 = 0.0952

Change in price = ( 1.25 - 1.45 ) / [ (1.25+1.45)/2 ] = 0.2 / 1.35 = 0.148

Elasticity of Demand = Change in demand / change in price = 0.0952 / 0.148 = 0.643 = 0.64
