d. Matt's statement is positive while Jean's statement is normative
Explanation:
A positive statement can be defined as any statement that is typically based on empirical evidence and as such can be tested, proven and verified. Also, a positive statement can be amended or rejected based on evidences that are available.
On the other hand, a normative statement can be defined as any statement that can't be tested, proven or verified because it is judgmental and based on opinions.
In this scenario, Matt observes that "there is a high correlation between educational attainment and the level of income." Jean concurs and adds that "high school graduates should all proceed to college"
Hence, Matt's statement is positive because it is an observation based on empirical evidence while Jean's statement is normative because it's simply his opinion or a value judgment.
Answer:
Slope of short-run aggregate supply curve: wage-price flexibility
In the short run, some factors are fixed and some factors can vary and the costs incurred on fixed factors are constant. Thus, the price level does not change as fast as it could have been if all are variable resources.
However, if prices are subjected to the variation in the wages, then the price level will increase faster than the costs. If actual price level is below the expected level, then the nominal wage rate is more than the expected and vice-versa. This would result in a greater slope of the short-run aggregate supply curve, which means short-run aggregate supply curve will be relatively steeper.
In the short run, the wage rate and price level are sticky downward because fall in nominal wage of workers will reduce the incentive to work.
Hence, if the wage rate adjusts continuously to any change in price; then the aggregate supply curie is relatively steep, and when wage and price level are sticky, then the short-run aggregate supply curve will be relatively flat.
Answer: Bad Debt Expense 28,000 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 28,000
Explanation:
Account receivable = 300,000
Percentage uncollectible = 10%
Current balance = 2000
Adjustment to allowance for uncollectible accounts is given by :
(Account receivable ×percentage uncollectible) - current balance
(300,000 × 10%) - 2000
(300,000 × 0.1) × 2000
30,000 - 2000 = 28,000
Therefore, adjustment should be :
bad debt expense debit 28,000
allowance for doubful account credit 28,000
