Answer:

The correct answer is:

5×5700 yr = 28,500 years (d)

Explanation:

The half life of an element/atom is the time is takes for that element/atom to decay to half of its original mass/size.

It was found that the carbon-14 atom had decayed until only \frac{1}{16th} of the original size is still remaining.

Now, let us first find how many half lives are in one-sixteenth, and that is \frac{1}{2}* \frac{1}{2}* \frac{1}{2}* \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{16}. so it means that there are 4 half lives in one-sixteenth, and since one half life takes approximately 5700 years, therefore 4 half lives will take 4×5700 yr = 22, 800 years, but at this point (22,800 years ago)the fossil has already half-life, therefore the additional age is to add the number of years it took to decay that half life. hence the age of fossil is:

22,800 + 5700 = 28, 500 years

Westkost [7]

Answer:

Debit : Bad Debts = $16,370

Credit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $16,370

Explanation:

The question states that bad debts are expected to be 5% of the accounts receivables. This means that it is: $327,400 x 5% = $16,370.

An account for allowance for doubtful debts is a contra account created, predicting that certain debtors will not be able to pay for the goods and services they purchased. The 5% may be based on historical experiences. Doubtful debts aren’t officially uncollectible, it is simply a prediction, but bad debts are, where you have officially written off a certain accounts receivable as uncollectible.

An allowance for doubtful debts is recorded in the balance sheet, directly under accounts receivables. Bad debts are recorded as an expense in the income statement.

The initial entry for allowance for doubtful debts is incorrect, hence it would have to be corrected before the new amount can be recorded. Correction:

Debit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $7900

Credit : Bad debts = $7900

The accounts will be cancelled off and the new entry can be recorded...

Debit : Bad Debts = $16,370

Credit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $16,370

When the amount is officially declared uncollectible, the allowance for doubtful debts account will be debited and the accounts receivables account will be credited.
