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

<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>

When a pharmaceutical company introduces a new drug, its research and development costs are ______, and the cost of the chemical
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Start-up cost; variable cost

Explanation:

Start-up cost is the cost incurred in developing a new product. It is a one time cost that is incurred only at the time of creating something new. Start-up cost includes borrowing cost, research and development cost and expenses incurred on technology.

Variable costs change with the change in units of output produced. Cost of chemicals depend on the amount of drugs produced. So, research and development cost is start-up cost and cost of chemical is variable cost.
