Answer:

d. It will have a credit balance of $100,000.

Explanation:

In the income statement, the total revenues and the total expenses are recorded.  

If the total revenues are more than the total expenditure then the company earns net income

And, If the total revenues are less than the total expenditure then the company have a net loss

This net income or net loss would reflect in the statement of the retained earning account.

So, the balance of income summary equals to

= Sales - expenses

= $540,000 - $440,000

= $100,000

The dividend should be deducted from the retained earning account. Hence, it will not be consider here

One of the three economic questions deals with deciding what goods and services should be produced. what the costs of production
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is What Goods and Services should be produced.

Explanation:

The problem ‘what to produce’ can be divided into two related questions. First, which goods are to be produced and which not; and second, in what quantities those goods, which the economy has decided to produce, are to be produced. If productive resources were unlimited we could produce as many numbers of goods as we liked and, therefore, the question “What goods to be produced and what not” would not have arisen. But because resources are in fact scarce relative to human wants, an economy must choose among different alternative collections of goods and services that it should produce.

If the Society decides to produce particular goods in a larger quantity, it will have to withdraw resources from the production of some other goods. Further, an economy has to decide how much resources should be allocated for the production of consumer goods and how much for capital goods. In other words, an economy has to decide the respective quantities of consumer goods and capital goods to be produced.

The choice between consumer goods and capital goods involves the choice between the present and the future. If the society decides to produce more capital goods, some resources will have to be taken away from the production of consumer goods and. therefore, the production of consumer goods would have to be cut down. But greater amount of capital goods would make possible the production of larger quantities of consumer goods in the future. Thus, we see that some current consumption has to be sacrificed for the sake of more consumption in the future.

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows,

At December 31, 2011 the accounting records of Gordon, Inc. contain the following items:

Accounts Payable 2500

Land 30000

Building 31250

Notes Payable ?

Retained earnings 125000

Accounts Receivable 18750

Cash ?

Equipment 40000

Capital Stock 12500

If the Notes Payable is $10,000, the December 31, 2011 cash balance is:

Answer:

Cash = $30000

Explanation:

The accounting equation states that the sum of total assets is always equal to the sum of total liabilities plus total equity. We can state the equation as follows,

Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity

So,

(30000 + 31250 + 18750 + 40000 + Cash) = (2500 + 10000) + (125000 + 12500)

120000 + Cash = 12500 + 137500

Cash = 150000 - 120000

Cash = $30000

lesantik [10]

Answer:

30%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Here we considered a long term bond that time period should be 15 years or more

Now as we know that

Current yield is

= Current payment ÷ Pb

5% = Current payment ÷ $800

The Current payment is $40

Now the yield to maturity is

-$800 = $50 ÷  (1 + i) + $1,000 ÷ (1 + i) + $1,040 ÷ (1 + i)

So, i = 30%

The same is to be chosen
