Answer:

$106 million

Explanation:

                               allowance for doubtful accounts

                               debit             credit

beg. balance                                   426

bad debt                                           85        

ending balance       <u>405                        </u>

                                                        106

Since you need $106 million to balance the account, that should be the amount of bad debt written off during the current year. Allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra asset account, any debit balance increases accounts receivable while a credit balance decreases it.

In order for a Drake (the plaintiff) to be able to recover damages he must prove that he suffered an injury (economic injury in this case) by Eve's false claims.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Hire temporary employees to work on specific projects.

Explanation:

Human resource management is the process by which a business effectively manages its manpower needs to meet its organisational goals at a reduced cost to the business.

It involves the various strategies used to hire employees to meet business needs in a cost-effective way.

The construction division has a highly seasonal workload, with fewer projects in the winter than in the summer. Also, different expertise is needed for different kinds of buildings. So hiring a permanent workforce is counterproductive as they will be paid when there is no work to be done. The best strategy is to hire temporary workers. Also there is need for specialised staff to work on specific projects.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer ise. do nothing and leave prices unchanged.

Explanation:

It has been observed that many oligopolistic industries exhibit an appreciable degree of price rigidity or stability. In other words, in many oligopolistic industries prices remain sticky or inflexible, that is, there is no tendency for oligopolists to change the price even if economic conditions undergo a change.

There have been many explanations of this price rigidity in the oligopoly and the most popular explanation is the so-called crooked demand curve hypothesis. The crooked demand curve hypothesis was presented independently by Paul M. Sweezy, an American economist, and by Hall and Hitch, Oxford economists.

It is to explain the price and production under oligopoly with product differentiation, that economists often use the hypothesis of the crooked demand curve. This is because when products under oligopoly differ, it is unlikely that when a company increases its price, all customers abandon it because some customers are intimately linked to it due to product differentiation.

As a result, the demand curve facing a company under differentiated oligopoly is not perfectly elastic. On the other hand, under the oligopoly without product differentiation, when a company increases its price, all its customers leave it, so that the demand curve faced by an oligopolist that produces a homogeneous product can be perfectly elastic.

For a qualifying relative to be claimed as a dependent, a person must either be related to the taxpayer, or be a member of the t
Burka [1]

Answer:

The correct option is (C)

Explanation:

To be able to claim somebody as a dependent, the person has to qualify 4 tests. They are:

  • Lineal descendant
  • Must live with the taxpayer for more than a year
  • Should be below 19 years or under 24 if a full time student
  • Cannot file return on their own.

If a person who is not a lineal descendant to be claimed as a dependent needs to be a part of taxpayer's household for 365 days (whole year).

In this case, taxpayer's cousin is not a lineal descendant. Rest of them (sister, father and son-in-law) are lineal descendants. So, cousin has to stay with the taxpayer for the entire year.
