Answer:

Debit Bad debt expense   $19,000

Credit Allowance for doubtful debt   $19,000

Explanation:

When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.  

To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.

Where a debit that had previously been determined to have gone bad gets settled, debit cash and credit bad debt expense.

Amount that may be uncollectible

= 4% *  $600,000

= $24,000

Given that the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a $5,000 credit balance before adjustment, the additional amount to be adjusted for

= $24,000 - $5,000

= $19,000

Pick an ad that speaks out against drug abuse. Write about the possible primary and secondary effects of this ad on the youth in
weeeeeb [17]

Answer: The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign launched the “Above the Influence” (ATI) ad campaign in 2005. The campaign aims to provide young people with a different perspective on life. The campaign’s primary initiative is to reduce drug abuse among teenagers, not just by telling them about the harmful effects of drugs, but by helping them to counter bad influences (such as peer pressure) and believe in themselves. This campaign used print media, the Internet, television, and radio to communicate its message to teenagers.

The primary effects of this ad campaign on the youth in my locality were in terms of the immediate awareness that the ad’s message created. The campaign focused on improving lifestyles rather than just highlighting the bad effects of drugs, so it was able to connect with its target audience. Another key reason for the campaign’s success was the use of multiple media formats to communicate with the target audience.

An important secondary effect of this ad campaign was that it succeeded in spreading awareness about how peer pressure leads people into drug abuse. The campaign’s partnership with schools and other community groups helped to increase its effect on students in their early teens. Another secondary effect of the campaign was a decrease in the long-term use of marijuana and other illicit drugs among teenagers. The campaign managed to foster a feeling of independence and self-assurance among teens over the years.

The message of this ad campaign is still fresh in my mind. I’m sure it had a lasting effect on many others who heard it because it succeeded in building public awareness about the problem of drug abuse and in promoting a positive lifestyle.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The answer is: If Orion wants to have $3,000 in two years, he must invest $2,572.02 today

Explanation:

To determine how much money Orion has to invest today in order to have $3,000 in two years, considering he will get an 8% compound interest rate, we can use this formula:

P = FV / (1 + r)²    

Where:

  • FV = $3,000
  • r = 8%

P = $3,000 / (1 + 8%)²

P = $3,000 / 1.1664

P = $2,572.02
