Answer:

a. Decrease, No Change, Decrease

Explanation:

This can be explained as follows

New Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $2,700,000 × 1.5% = $40,500

Increase in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $40,500 - $30,600 = $9,900

The increase in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts will reduce the Accounts Receivable balance by $9,900 because it will be added to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance of $30,600 and affect Accounts Receivable as follows:

Accounts Receivable balance on December 31 after adjustment = $475,000 – ($30,600 + $9,900) = $434,500.

The increase of $9,990 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts will decrease Accounts Receivable which an asset, and will also reduce equity because the $9,900 will be used to reduce the earning or retained earning which is an equity item. This does not and will not have any effect on the liability item.

Therefore, correct option is Decrease in asset, No Change in liabilities, Decrease in equity.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The business manager should assume that the building expense is fixed.

Explanation:

Fixed costs are not correlated with the revenue levels.  Within the relevant range, fixed costs remain constant.  They do not vary with the activity levels as variable costs do.  For example, a manufacturer must pay for rent, repairs and maintenance, and utility bills irrespective of the revenue levels at which it is operating.  This is why the business manager always discovers that the building expense each month does not correlate with the revenue levels, unlike the product's variable costs.

Role of central government in regional development​
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The central government is, essentially, the public body in charge of managing the nation's resources and controlling compliance with the laws. In other words, it applies its power within the entire national territory, but in turn delegating certain powers to state and local governments, which have a much stronger contact with the population of cities and states. Thus, within the regional development process in each nation, local and state governments are the main executors of development policies, but with the supervision and guidance of central governments.
