rodikova [14]

Answer:

July 1, 2020

Dr. Prepaid Insurance $15,420

Cr. Cash __________ $15,420

December 31, 2020

Dr. Insurance Expense_$2,570

Cr. Prepaid Insurance _$2,570

Explanation:

Prepaid Expense is the payment of an expense made before it accrued ( means advance payment of an expense ).

As Ayayai Co. paid the 3 years insurance in advance. It is the form of prepaid insurance. Prepaid insurance will be charged to the insurance expense account with the passage of time.

On July 1

The cash is paid so, the cash account will be credited because it is an asset account that has a debit nature. To reduce its balance we need to credit it.

On the other hand, cash is made against the advance payment of insurance for three years, prepaid insurance account will be debited because it is an asset account that needed to be debited to record this.

December 31

The Insurance expense for 6 months is accrued and it needs an adjusting entry to record the expense.

To record Insurance expense, the insurance expense account is debited and on the other hand to reduce the balance of prepaid insurance by the accrued expense value prepaid insurance account is credited.

Insurance expense = $15,420 x 6 / ( 12 x 3 ) = $2,570

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

a. $28

b. $19

c. 800 watches

The equation is

p = D(q) = 28 - 2.25

The equation of the demand would be

P = 28 - 2.25q

a. The price would be

= $28 - 2.25 × 0

= $28 - 0

= $28

b. The price would be

= $28 - 2.25 × 4

= $28 - 9

= $19

The quantity demanded is come in hundreds so we take only 4

c. The quantity woul dbe

$10 = $28 - 2.25q

$10 - $28 = -$2.25q

-$18 = -$2.25q

So q would be

= 800 watches
