Answer:
Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)
Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)
Explanation:
This is an example of provision for doubtful debts. Provision for doubtful debts is an estimated amount of bad debts from accounts receivables that has been issues but not yet collected. This is done under the accrual accounting concept where an expense is identified as soon as invoices have been issued rather than waiting long periods to find out which invoice is irrecoverable. It is typically an estimate based on past experience.
In this question, the sales value has not been provided, hence an assumption is made:
Sales : $200,000
If provision for doubtful debts is 1% of sales and all sales is on credit, then the provision for doubtful debts amount is = 1% x $200,000 = $2000
Provision for doubtful debts is an accounts receivable contra account and thus has a credit balance and is recorded in the balance sheet, listed directly under accounts receivables.
The entry is recorded as:
Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)
Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)
Answer: $1,750
Explanation:
Incurring a health insurance cost of $5,000 or increasing salaries by $5,000 will have the same effect on the taxes because they will both be removed from the income before the taxes are calculated.
The reduction in tax in either case is:
= Expense * Tax rate
= 5,000 * 35%
= $1,750
In a world that is synchronized on a global scale, trade between nations is constant. Imports cannot be reduced by 20% in order to close the trade deficit.
<h3>Why it is not possible to reduce imports?</h3>
There are certain nations that will be impacted if the United States decides to cut imports by 20%.
As a result, imports from the United States will likewise be restricted in other nations.
In other words, the United States may experience a fall in exports while attempting to reduce imports. The overall impact on trade imbalances could be minimal.
The trade conflict between the United States and China is a good illustration. China responded to the United States taxes on its imports by imposing its own levies. As a result, both countries suffered.
As a result, there is no quick fix for decreasing trade deficits. A more delicate balance between consumption and production must be achieved over time.
The manufacturing industries must have favorable policies and incentives to encourage consumer demand for locally made items.
