Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

If such a headline was published, the demand for chicken and its byproducts would plummet. The demand curve would shift to the left, meaning that the quantity demanded would decrease at all price levels.

Eve's Apples opened for business on January 1, 2018, and paid for two insurance policies effective that date. The liability poli
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer: 18,000

Explanation:

Liability policy:

Insurance\ expense\ per\ month=\frac{Prepaid\ Insurance\ for\ liability\ policy}{Period\ of\ policy}

Insurance\ expense\ per\ month=\frac{36,000}{18}

                                                            = 2,000

Insurance expense 2018:

= No. of months from 1 Jan 2018 to 31 Dec 2018 × Insurance expense per month

= 12 × 2,000

= 24,000

Prepaid insurance balance for liability policy on 31 Dec, 2018:

= Prepaid Insurance for liability policy - Insurance expense 2018

= 36,000 - 24,000

= 12,000

Crop damage policy:

Insurance\ expense\ per\ month=\frac{Prepaid\ Insurance\ for\ crop\ damage\ policy}{Period\ of\ policy}

Insurance\ expense\ per\ month=\frac{12,000}{24}

                                                            = 500

Insurance expense 2018:

= No. of months from 1 Jan 2018 to 31 Dec 2018 × Insurance expense per month

= 12 × 500

= 6,000

Prepaid insurance balance for crop damage policy on 31 Dec, 2018:

= Prepaid Insurance for crop damage policy - Insurance expense 2018

= 12,000 - 6,000

= 6,000

Therefore,

Total prepaid insurance balance on 31 Dec 2018:

= Prepaid insurance balance for liability policy on 31 Dec, 2018 + Prepaid insurance balance for crop damage policy on 31 Dec, 2018

= 12,000 + 6,000

= 18,000
