Answer:

The amount of the adjusting entry to record  the provision of doubtful accounts  = $700

Explanation:

Allowance for doubtful accounts (before adjustment) = $500

sales = $600000

uncollected accounts expenses ( bad debit ) = 2% of sales

                                                                            = 0.02 * $600000

                ∴ estimated bad debit                           = $1200

The amount to be adjusted ( the amount of the adjusting entry to record the provision for doubtful accounts )

= ( estimated bad debit - allowance before adjustment )

=  $1200 - $500

= $700

wariber [46]

Answer:

expenditures and taxes

Explanation:

Fiscal policy refers to a government action to adjust taxes and expenditures to influence economic growth. Taxes are the main sources of income for the government. A rise in taxes increases revenue to the government but lower individual disposable income. High taxes discourage investments and business expansion.

Government expenditure in infrastructure and other projects creates employment and incomes in the economy. Reduced spending by the government may result in a lower aggregate demand. The government uses fiscal policies together with monetary policies to achieve its economic goals.

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

$360,000

Explanation:

Last in first out (LIFO) is a method used in inventory where the cost of most recently purchased goods is the one to be expensed first. Also current losses are the first to be reported.

An inventory loss incurred in a quarter must not be deferred, but recorded as items within an interim must be reported in the same period they were incurred, unless it can be redeemed before the end of the fiscal year. It is not considered a temporary item.

The loss reported in May will be reported for that quarter in June.
