Answer:

a. $45,000

Explanation:

The retained earnings of the Company X at the beginning of the year shall be determined using the following mentioned formula:

Retained Earnings at the end of year=Retained Earnings at the start of the year+net income for the year-dividend paid by company X

In the given question:

Retained Earnings at the end of year=$60,000

Retained Earnings at the start of the year=?

Net income for the year=$25,000

Dividends paid by Company X=$10,000

$60,000=Retained Earnings at the start of the year+$25,000-$10,000

Retained Earnings at the start of the year=$60,000-$25,000+$10,000

                                                                    =$45,000

So based on the above calculation, the answer is a. $45,000

Cloud [144]

Two main characteristics of Public goods are that they are non-excludability and non-competitiveness. These characteristics make it difficult for market producers to sell their goods to the individual consumers. The Non-excludable means that it is expensive or impossible for users to exclude other users from using the product.

The US Border Patrol is a Public Good US Border Patrol is a public good because it is the non-competitive and non-exclusive. The Satellite TV is personal property.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Correct answer is D, P3,900

Explanation:

Begging Allowance for doubtful account is P1,500 (96,000 - 94,500). Ending balance of Allowance for doubtful account is P3,000 (P108,000 -P105,000). We can now work back the provision for doubtful accounts that the company has made during 2008.

Beginning P1,500

Add:

Collection of written off accounts 800

Total P2,300

Less:

Written off 3,200

Total (P900)

Therefore, in order for the company to have an ending inventory of P3,000, They must have set up a provision for doubtful accounts in the amount of P3,900. Attached herewith is the T-account of allowance for doubtful accounts

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

<em>MISSING INFORMATION:</em>

   concept                     //    Year 2     //     Year 1

Sales                                     7,620             7,450

Account Receivables             655                588

Answer:

Yes, there is. The days to collect increase by 4.16 to 29.77 from 26.61

Which is a bad sing as the company delays more to collect form their customers

Explanation:

Account Receivable turnover:

Average receivable:

(458 + 588 ) / 2  =  523

7,450 / 523 =   14.25

Days to collect: 365 / 14.25 = 25,61

Second Year:

Average receivable: (655 + 588) / 2 = 621.5

Turnover: 7,620 / 621.5 =  12.26

Days to collect: 365 / 12.26 = 29,77

29.77 - 25.61 = 4.16
