Answer:

A) True

Explanation:

When you use the analysis of receivables method for estimating uncollectible receivables you will use the age of the accounts receivables in order to determine whether or not they should be considered bad debt. Usually the company establishes a threshold, e.g. 6 months, and all the accounts receivables that have not been collected by that threshold are classified as estimated bad debt.

Under this method, estimated bad debts should equal the adjusted balance for allowance of doubtful accounts.

The government unit that wants to achieve "revenue enhancement" will find it considerably more favorable to enact an excise tax
boyakko [2]

Answer:

C. highly inelastic

Explanation:

An excise tax on a product will increase its price from the equilibrium point, to a higher point set by the government.

If the government was to enhance its revenue by this means, it should enact the excise tax on products that are highly inelastic.

This is because a highly inelastic product is one whose quantity demanded does not fall considerably even if the price rises a lot.

This means that even if the product is more expensive after the excise tax, consumer will continue to buy it, increasing government revenue in this way.

Serhud [2]

Answer: The Nominal Interest rate, which is how fast the dollar value of savings grows

Explanation:

Banks advertise the Nominal Interest rate. This is the rate that measures purely, how much return is received or paid if one lends out money or borrows money respectively.

It is therefore the value at which savings grow.

It is not adjusted for inflation yet but when adjusted is called the REAL INTEREST RATE.

It is important to note that when Banks advertise the Nominal rate, it is not yet adjusted for fees or the compounding of interest.

On December 31, 2016, Bart Inc. purchased a machine from Fell Corp. in exchange for a noninterest-bearing note requiring eight p
iragen [17]

Answer:

Bart Inc.

The initial value of the machine is:

= $114,240.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Date of purchase of machine from Fell Corp. = December 31, 2016

Annual payments for a non-interest-bearing note = $20,000

Appropriate present value of the annuity due = 5.712

PV of the annual payments for 8 years = $114,240 ($20,000 * 5.712)

First payment date = December 31, 2016

Period of payments = 8 years

Prevailing interest rate for this type of note = 11%

Check from an online financial calculator:

N (# of periods)  8

I/Y (Interest per year)  11

PMT (Periodic Payment)  20000

FV (Future Value)  0

Results

PV = $114,243.93

Sum of all periodic payments = $160,000.00

Total Interest = $45,756.07

Two towns, each with three members, are deciding whether to put on a fireworks display to celebrate the new year. fireworks cost
Burka [1]
1) Town of Bayport:
We have that the residents value the fireworks at a total of 50+100+300=450$. That is the utility they gain. But they would also have to pay 360$ for the fireworks. The total outcome is 450$+(-360$)=90$. Hence, the outcome is positive and the fireworks pass the cost benefit analysis.

If the fireworks' cost is to be split equally, we have that each of the 3 residents has to pay 360/3=120$. Let us now do the cost-benefit analysis for everyone.
Jacques stands to gain 50$ from the fireworks but would have to pay 120$. He will vote against it.
Also, Kyoko will gain 100$ but would have to pay 120$. He will lose utility/money from this so he will vote against.
Musashi on the other hand, would gain 300$ and only pay 120$. He is largely  benefitted by this measure. Only he would

We have that 2 out of the 3 would vote against the fireworks, so that the fireworks will not be bought. The vote does not yield the same answer as the benefit-cost analysis.

2) Town of River Heights:

We have that the total value of the fireworks to the community is 20+140+160=320$. The total value of the fireworks is lower than their cost so their cost benefit analysis yields that they should not be bought.

However, let's see what each resident says. The cost to each resident is 360/3=120$. Rina is against the fireworks since she will only gain 20$. Sean and Yvette are for the fireworks since they gain 140$ and 160$ respectively, which are larger than the cost of the fireworks to each of them (120$). Hence, 2 will vote for the fireworks and one will vote against and fireworks will be bought.

Again, the vote clashes with the cost-benefit analysis.

3) The first choice is wrong. It is very difficult for a government to provide the exact types of public goods that everyone wants because that would be too costly; one cannot have a public good that everyone pays for so that only a couple of people enjoy it. In our example, we saw that in every case, a public good and its production would have sime supporters and some adversaries.

Majority rule is not always the most efficient way to decide public goods; as we have seen in the second case, the cost-benefit analysis yields that the fireworks are not worth it but they are approved by the majority nonetheless.

The final sentence is correct. The differing preferences of the people make a clearcut choice impossible and the government has to take into account various tradeoffs and compromises in order to determine which public goods to provide.
