Answer:

d) Mary, who was laid off last year and who was looking for a full-time job until last month

In the United States, a discouraged worker is defined as a person not in the labor force who wants and is available for a job and who has looked for work sometime in the past 12 months (or since the end of his or her last job if a job was held within the past 12 months), but who is not currently looking because of real or perceived poor employment prospects.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The 9,300 should Allegheny report as Uncollectible Accounts Expense on its Year 2 income statement

Explanation:

The non-collectible accounts expenses on its Year 2 income statement is shown below:

= Ending balance + write off balance - opening balance

= $6,000 + $7,200 - $3,900

=$9,300

The accounts receivable is not to be considered because we have to find out the uncollectible accounts expense, so the account receivable balance should not be taken in the computation part.

Hence, the 9,300 should Allegheny report as Uncollectible Accounts Expense on its Year 2 income statement

Scrat [10]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

From the above,

One bucket requires;

200 grams of plastic and one half of direct labor

The plastic costs $10 per 200 grams and the employees are paid $15 per hour.

Therefore, one bucket costs (material and labor) :

= $10 + $15 × (1/2)hour = $17.5 per plus 1.10 × $7.50 = $25.75

For 1,080 buckets

$25.75 × 1,080 = $27,810

Therefore, the total amount of budgeted direct material for March is $27,810

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The expenses can be recorded as follows;

Debit to the expenses of $33,000 and a credit to the cash account of $33,000.

Explanation:

The accounting equation is an equation that tends to balance a company's assets on one side and the sum of its liabilities and shareholders equity on the opposite side of the equation. It form the basis for the double-entry system in accounting that includes an accounts debit and credit. The debit is a sum to an amount that is owed, it is usually listed on the left hand-side of an account while the credit is a listing of a sum that is received usually on the right hand side of an account.

In the case of Michael Barry, the accounting equation;

Assets=liabilities+stockholders equity

Assets=$126,000

Liabilities=$74,000

Stockholders equity=$52,000

liabilities+stockholders equity=74,000+52,000=$126,000

The assets equals the sum of the liabilities and stockholders equity.

To record expenses paid of $33,000;

Debit Credit

Expenses $33,000

Cash $33,000

Straight line:

2014 $ 65,250

2015 $ 87,000

2016 $ 87,000

2017 $ 21,750

units-of-output method:

2014 $ 108,750

2015 $ 79,750

2016 $ 58,000

2017 $ 14,500

dobule declining method

2014 135,000

2015 45,000

2016 15,000

2017 9,000

Explanation:

Straight line:

(cost - salvage value) / useful life

(270,000 - 9,000)/3 = 87,000 per complete year

First year: from April 1st to December 31th

87,000 x 9/12 = 65,250

Second and third year are complete year thus, 87,000

fourth year: from Jan 1st to March 31th:

87,000 x 3/12 = 21,750

units-of-output method:

(cost - salvage value) / unit of output

261,000 / 18,000 = 14.5 per hour

We multiply each year hours by this rate

7,500 x 14.5 = 108,750

5,500x 14.5 = 79,750

4,000x 14.5 = 58,000

1,000 x 14.5 = 14,500

double declining

we multiply by twice the rate of of straight line:

1/3 x 2 = 2/3 we depreciate this amount of the carrying vbalue per year

Last year we adjust to obtain the residual value

In 2012 the change in business inventories is -$70 billion and GDP is $200 billion. Final sales in 2012 Group of answer choices

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

are $270 billion

Explanation:

Change in business inventories in 2012 = -$70 billion

GDP of 2012 = $200 billion

Final sales in 2012 = GDP - Change in inventory

Final sales in 2012 = $200 billion - (- 70 billion )

Final sales in 2012 = $200 Billion + 70 billion

Final sales in 2012 = $270 billion

Hence proved that the correct answer is $270 billion
