Answer:

option (c) $875 per year

Explanation:

Given;

Average cost of collision claims for careful drivers = $500 per year

Average cost of collision claims for for poor drivers = $3000 per year

Poor drivers known by the company = 15%

thus,

Careful drivers = (100% - 15%) = 85%

Therefore,

Insurance company's breakeven price for the collision insurance  

= (Poor drivers known × Average cost of collision for poor drivers ) +( Careful drivers × Average cost of collision claims for careful drivers)

= 0.15 × $3000 + 0.85 × $500

= $450 + $425

= $875 per year

Hence, the correct answer is option (c) $875 per year

Use this image to answer the following question. The ice cream shop needs about two pounds of cocoa for each gallon of chocolate
navik [9.2K]
I think this is a trick question. Say, there are 2 pounds of cocoa / 1 gallon of chocolate ice cream. But then the problem only mentions the production of eight gallons of <em>strawberry</em> ice cream, not chocolate ice cream.

However, if they're somehow related (like they are made from the same machine), then you need 16 pounds of cocoa to produce 8 gallons of chocolate ice cream.

A company uses the percent of sales method to determine its bad debts expense. At the end of the current year, the company's una
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

$3,355

Explanation:

Accounts receivables = $ 352,000

Debit Allowance for uncollectible accounts = 630

Net Sales = $797,000

The company estimates that 0.5% of net credit sales are uncollectible

Estimates of uncollectible receivables

= 0.5% × $797,000

=$3985

This is the total amount to be recognized at the end of the year as Bad Debts Expense. Since a debit of $630 has been recognized already, additional debit required

= 3985 - 630

= $3,355

The amount to be debited to Bad Debts Expense when the year-end adjusting entry is prepared is $3,355.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Presentation can be defined as an act of talking or speaking formally to an audience in order to explain an idea, piece of work, project, and product with the aid of multimedia resources or samples.

Formatting is a feature found in a lot of word processing software applications such as Microsoft Word, Notepad, etc., which is designed to avail end users the ability to apply specific formatting options such as cut, bold, italics, underline, etc., to texts based on certain defined criteria.

Basically, it is used for highlighting, emphasize, comparing or differentiating between data (information) stored in a text document.

In this scenario, Todd wants to be sure that the message about a special speaker attending their next meeting is conveyed to the members.

Therefore, he should use a lot of unique formatting such as italics or underlining in the newsletter to be sent out, so as to get their attention.
