Answer: The following journal entries apply:

a) Debit Bad debt expense                                    $32,727.6  

  Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts            $32,727.6

b) Debit Bad debt expense                                    $37,017.6  

  Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts            $37,017.6

Explanation: All the sales revenue are on credit to the tune of $806,700, however, there was sales return and allowance of $51,060, which has to be deducted from credit sales to arrive at the net credit sales of $755,640. This amount would be added to the accounts receivable of $132,800 to arrive at the total accounts receivable of $888,440.

a) 4% of $888,440 is $35,537.6. With credit balance of $2,810 in allowance for doubtful accounts, bad debt expense (addition) is $32,727.6  ($35,537.6 - $2,810).

b) 4% of $888,440 is $35,537.6 and there is a debit balance of $1,480 in allowance for doubtful accounts, bad debt expense (to reinstate allowance account to $35,537.6) is $37,017.6 ($35,537.6 + $1,480).

Total revenue:
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

remains unchanged as price increases when demand is unit elastic.

Explanation:

Total revenue = price × quantity

Demand is elastic when a small change in price has a greater effect on the quantity demanded.

If price is increased and demand is elastic, quantity demanded would fall more than the increase in price and total revenue falls.

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded.

If price is increased and demand is inelastic, change in quantity demanded would be less than changes in price. As a result, total revenue would increase.

Demand is unit elastic if a change in price has an equal proportional effect on quantity demanded. The elasticity of demand always sums up to one.

If price is increased and demand is unit elastic, there would be no change in total revenue.

I hope my answer helps you
