Answer:

a. Dr Bad debt expense $1,617

Cr Allowance for doubtful debt $1,617

b. Dr Bad debt expense $2,205

Cr Allowance for doubtful debt $2,205

Explanation:

When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.  

To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.

Estimated uncollectible amount

= 5% × $49,000

= $2,450

As such, if the allowance for doubtful;

has a $833 credit balance before the adjustment

Additional allowance required

=$2450 - $833

= $1,617

Entries required are

Dr Bad debt expense $1,617

Cr Allowance for doubtful debt $1,617

b) a $245 debit balance before the adjustment.

This means that off the amount uncollectible $245 has already gone bad

Adjusting entries required amounts to

= $2205

Dr Bad debts expense $2205

Cr Allowance for doubtful debt $2205

Tems11 [23]

Answer: A.There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean price of a single-family home has increased from its level two years ago of $299,500

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that according to the Federal Housing Finance Board, the mean price of a single-family home two years ago was $299,500 and that a real estate broker believes that due to recent credit crunch, the mean price has increased since then and the result is that the null hypothesis is not rejected.

The conclusion based on the results of the test is that since the null hypothesis has been rejected, it simply means that there are sufficient evidence that there has been an increase in the mean price since two years ago.

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

Suppose there are 2,000 people who are unemployed as a result of cyclical unemployment and 1,000 people who are unemployed as a
olga55 [171]

Answer:

1,000

Explanation:

Suppose the town of Boone has a total population of 50,000 people. Of those, 45,000 people are employed. There are 1,000 full-time students who are not employed or actively seeking work. The rest of the people are out of work but have been actively seeking work within the past four weeks.

This information is not given in the question.

For computing the frictional unemployment, first we have to determine the unemployed which is shown below:

Number of unemployed would be

= Total population - employed - full time students

= 50,000 - 45,000 - 1,000

= 4,000

Now the frictional unemployment would be

=  Unemployed - cyclical unemployment - structural unemployment

= 4,000 - 2,000 - 1,000

= 1,000

sergey [27]

Answer:

D. Arranging for a market offering to occupy a​ clear, distinctive, and desirable place relative to competing products in the minds of target consumers

Explanation:

Positioning simply consists in establishing a specific market position for the product or service relative to the products or services that the competition offers.

For example, Wal-Mart has found that its most effective positioning strategy is to occupy the market place of the cheapest retail store. Wal-Mart does not try to appeal to everyone, it tries to offer the cheapest products in the market (which in itself has a very wide appeal, but the appeal is not universal anyway).

Nostrana [21]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below

a. The economic order quantity is

= sqrt ((2 × annual demand × ordering cost) ÷ carrying cost)

= sqrt ((2 × 1,215 × $10) ÷ $75)

=  18 units

b) Average number of bags on hand is

= EOQ ÷ 2

= 18 ÷ 2

= 9

c) Orders per year is

= D ÷ EOQ

= 1215 ÷ 18

= 67.5

= 68

d) Total cost = Total carrying cost+ Total ordering cost

= (Q ÷ 2)H +(D ÷ Q)S

= (18 ÷ 2)75 + (1215 ÷ 18) × 10

= 675 + 675

= $1350
