Answer:

1. Perfect competition

2. Little to no

3. takers

Explanation:

Following are the features of Monopolistic competition to make you understand better.

Large numbers of buyers and sellers: No single buyer or seller is able to

influence the market price for the product – this is only possible through high  volume which dilutes any power any single party may have.

Homogeneous product: An identical product means no individual producer can  charge more for a good that could be considered superior.

Free entry and exit: Firms can leave and enter as determined by fluctuations in  profit.

Perfect knowledge of prices: Buyers and sellers are fully aware of prices in the  market.

Transport costs are negligible: This doesn’t impact on the market choices of  the economic agents.

Perfect factor mobility: Factors of production are perfectly mobile, allowing free  long term adjustments to be made by the firm.

Firms are price takers: Firms are price takers as they have little to no influence on the market.

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola consumers a tax. Before the tax, 45 million cases of cola were sold ever
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Tax on a case of cola is $4 per case.

The burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case.

The burden that falls on producers is $3 per case

False. This is due to the fact that producers already carry a greater share of the tax burden.

Explanation:

Tax on a case of cola = Amount that consumers pay after the tax has been charged - Amount producers receive = $7 - $3 = $4 per case

Burden on consumers = Amount consumers pay after the tax has been levied - Amount consumers pay before tax was levied = $7 - $5 = $1 per case

Burden on producers = Tax on a case of cola - Burden on consumers = $4 - $1 = $3 per case

False. This is due to the fact that producers already carry a greater share of the tax burden.

Rudik [331]

a. 1. Debit Accounts receivable $180,000

Credit Sales $180,000

2. Debit cash $125,000

Credit Accounts receivable $125,000

3. Debit Sales return $20,000

Credit $20,000

4. Debit Provision for bad debts expense $35,000

Credit Accounts receivable $35,000

5. Debit Accounts receivable $ $2,500

Credit Provision for bad debts expense $2,500

Debit Cash $2,500

Credit Accounts receivable $2,500

B. Debit Bad debts expense $27,500

Credit provision for bad debt expense $27,500

Explanation:

1. Sale on account will increase the accounts receivable. So we have to debit accounts receivable and credit to sales in the amount of $180,000

2. Collections will decrease the accounts receivable due payments made by the customer. So we have to debit cash and credit accounts receivable by $125,000

3. Sales return is a contra asset account that will decrease the accounts receivable and also the net sales. So we will debit sales return and credit accounts receivable in the amount of $20,000

4. Write offs will decrease the provision for bad debts account as well as the accounts receivable accounts by $35,000

5. Recovery of bad debts previously written off has no effect in accounts receivable but will increase the provision for bad debts due to reversal of entry previously made. First, we will reverse the original written off entry. Debit Accounts receivable and credit provision for bad debts expense in the amount of $2,500. Then we will record the collection by debiting cash and crediting accounts receivable in the amount of $2,500

B. Let’s determine the balance of accounts receivable first,

Beg. $275,000 + 180,000 sale on account - 125,000 collection - 20,000 sales return - 35,000 write-off = $275,000

Therefore, $275,000 x 10% = $27,500

Entry:

Debit Bad debts expense $27,500

Credit provision for bad debts expense $27,500
