<span>Even though the historical return on a stock market investment is 11%, it is also riskier than a savings account. This is referred to as risk vs. return. The higher the risk an investor is willing to take on, the higher the potential return. Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. </span>

A company has $80,000 in outstanding accounts receivable and it uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

  • Dr Bad Debt expense 6,000
  • Cr Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account 6,000

Explanation:

The total estimated bad debts are $4,800 (= $80,000 x 6%). So the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account ending balance should be $4,800. Since this account is a contra asset account, the ending balance should be $4,800 credited.

But currently the account has a $1,200 debit balance (it's like -$1,200), so the adjustment record must be = $4,800 + $1,200 = $6,000

That way the ending balance = $6,000 - $1,200 = $4,800

The journal entries should be:

  • Dr Bad Debt expense 6,000
  • Cr Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account 6,000

Identify whether each of the following statements best illustrates the concept of consumer surplus, producer surplus, or neither
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

a. Even though I was willing to pay up to $40 for a jersey sweater, I bought a jersey sweater for only $31.

Consumer Surplus;

= 40 - 31

= $9

When the amount that a consumer is willing to pay for something is more than the amount they actually pay, the difference is the Consumer surplus.

b. I sold a used laptop for $137, even though I was willing to go as low as $130 in order to sell it.

Producer Surplus

= 137 - 130

= $7

When the amount that a producer is willing to sell something for is less than the amount they actually sell it for, the difference is the Producer surplus.

c. I was willing to go as low as $130 in order to sell it A local store was having a sale on watches, so I bought a watch for my brother. Neither.
