Oriole Company purchased equipment for $41600. Sales tax on the purchase was $2496. Other costs incurred were freight charges of

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The cost of the equipment is $45,416.

Explanation:

The cost of a newly purchased equipment is the addition of all relevant costs uncured in order to make the equipment ready for use.

The cost of the equipment includes costs such as purchase price, tax paid on the purchase, installation costs, etc.

However, any cost incurred to repair any damage to an equipment during installation is not part of equipment cost. Such repair costs are just ordinary expenses that are charged to the income statement during the period.

Based on the explanation above, the cost of the equipment by Oriole Company can be calculated as follows:

Equipment cost = Purchase price + Sales tax + Freight charges + Installation costs ..................... (1)

Since,

Purchase price = $41,600

Sales tax on the purchase = $2.496.

Freight charges = $624

Installation costs = $696.

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Equipment cost = $41,600 + $2,496 + $624 + $696 = $45,416

Therefore, the cost of the equipment is $45,416.

Deadweight loss is A. the reduction in consumer expenditure resulting from market failure. B. the reduction in economic surplus

never [62]

Answer:

The answer is: B) The reduction in economic surplus resulting from a market not being in competitive equilibrium.

Explanation:

Deadweight loss is an economic cost to society as a whole when market inefficiencies occur preventing it from reaching its equilibrium point. Market inefficiencies are caused by incorrect allocation of resources.

For example if a price ceiling is established, suppliers will tend to lower the quantity supplied while the quantity demanded either increases or stays the same. That economic deficiency resulting from an unsatisfied demand is what we call deadweight loss.

Other causes for deadweight loss are price floors (reduction of the quantity demanded) and taxation (shifts on the demand or supply curves).

December 31:

Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts $13,330

Credit Accounts receivable $13,330

(To record write-off of accounts receivable - Miscellaneous)

Explanation:

April 13: Shipway Company wrote-off account of Dean Sheppard, this means there would be a reduction in both allowance for doubtful accounts and accounts receivable.
The receipt on May 15 of $3,270 reduced the accounts receivable but increased cash. However, the write-off of $5,410 caused a reduction in both the allowance account and accounts receivable.
When there was a receipt of $6,530 on July 27, the accounts receivable would be reinstated and then adjusted for the cash receipt.
Lastly, the write-off of the uncollectible accounts from miscellaneous customers were added up to arrive at $13,330.
