2)Accounts Receivable Written Off $ 24,900

3)If direct method is used the amount of bad debts expense during the year 2021 would be $ 67,600

Explanation:

Ervin Company

Net credit sales  $5,200,000,

Beginning Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $49,000 Cr

Ending Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts $43,500 Cr

Accounts Receivable Written Off $ 24,900

Estimated Bad debts =   1.30% of  $5,200,000 = $ 67,600

1) The bad debts expense for 2021 as a percent of net credit sales is  $ 67,600.

<h2><u>2.   All. for Uncollectibles    </u></h2><h3><u>Debt                                        Credit </u></h3>

                                  Beg Bal; $ 49,000

Bad debts 67,600

A/R written Off

$24,900

<u>                                          Balance $ 43,500 </u>

2) Accounts Receivable Written Off $ 24,900.

This is found by using a T - account for Allowance for uncollectibles. As the beginning and ending balances of  Allowance for uncollectibles are credit balances, they would go on the credit side and bad debts expense and Account Receivable written off on the debit side as they are the expenses.

3)If direct method is used the amount of bad debts expense during the year 2021 would be $ 67,600

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The answer to this question is  (c) Labour, Labour intensive

In the 2-factor, 2-good Heckscher-Ohlin model, the country with a relative abundance of labour will have a production possibility frontier that is biased toward production of the labour intensive good

Explanation:

The Heckscher-Ohlin model is an economic theory that proposes that countries export what they can most efficiently and plentifully produce.  

The model emphasizes the export of goods requiring factors of production that a country has in abundance. It also emphasizes the import of goods that a nation cannot produce as efficiently. It takes the position that countries should ideally export materials and resources of which they have an excess, while proportionately importing those resources they need.

Therefore in regard to the question above,

In the 2-factor, 2-good Heckscher-Ohlin model, the country with a relative abundance of labour will have a production possibility frontier that is biased toward production of the labour intensive good  

Hence the answer is the third option, Labour, Labour intensive

Suppose your firm has a marginal revenue given by the equation MR = 10 - Q where Q is the quantity produced and sold. This means
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The answer is: A) When the marginal cost of producing an additional unit equals the marginal revenue from that unit.

Explanation:

In economics, we assume that a company´s main goal is to maximize its profit. In order for any company do to this, the marginal cost (MC) of producing an extra unit of production must equal the marginal revenue (MR) obtained by selling that extra unit of production.

Theoretically, in perfect market conditions, MR=MC in the equilibrium point between quantity supplied and quantity demanded. But on real world conditions elasticity of both demand and supply alter the curves.
