Scarcity exists because people's wants for goods and services are greater than the number of products that can be made from available resources
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
Credit sales is $6,000
Bad debt is 3% of net credit sales which is $180($6,000 x3%)
Creating allowance for doubtful debt entry is one of the prudent method and it tells us that some customers won't pay part of what they are owing. And it is also a contra account that offset bad debt.
According to the accounting rule, debit increases asset and expenses and vice-versa while credit decreases liability, equity, income and vice versa.
So we have have:
Dr Bad debt expense $180
Cr Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $180
Answer:
Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)
Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)
Explanation:
This is an example of provision for doubtful debts. Provision for doubtful debts is an estimated amount of bad debts from accounts receivables that has been issues but not yet collected. This is done under the accrual accounting concept where an expense is identified as soon as invoices have been issued rather than waiting long periods to find out which invoice is irrecoverable. It is typically an estimate based on past experience.
In this question, the sales value has not been provided, hence an assumption is made:
Sales : $200,000
If provision for doubtful debts is 1% of sales and all sales is on credit, then the provision for doubtful debts amount is = 1% x $200,000 = $2000
Provision for doubtful debts is an accounts receivable contra account and thus has a credit balance and is recorded in the balance sheet, listed directly under accounts receivables.
The entry is recorded as:
Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)
Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)

Answer:
The question does not include any requirements, so I looked for similar questions:
- Use the least squares method to develop the estimated regression equation.
-
For every additional car placed in service, estimate how much annual revenue will change.
1) Y = -14.95 + 12.82X
2) for every 1 thousand cars put into service, revenue should increase by $12.82 million.
