Answer: $595
Explanation:
First find the probability of a $2,000 loss.
= 1 - other probabilities
= 1 - 0.6 - 0.05 - 0.13
= 0.22
Expected cost to the publishing company is a weighted average of the costs:
= (0 * 0.60) + (500 * 0.05) + (1,000 * 0.13) + (2,000 * 0.22)
= $595
Answer: $20500
Explanation:
Bad debt is the amount of money that a credit owes the company and is not willing to be paid hence may not be collected.
The amount that Marigold should record as "bad debt expense" for the year ended December 31, 2020 goes thus:
Bad debt allowance balance needed =
$16700
Add: Bad debt that are written off = $26800
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts = $23000
Bad debt expense will now be:
= $16700 + $26800 - $23,000
= $43500 - $23000
= $20500
Answer:
B. Herbania is technologically superior to Duckistan in producing civilian goods.
Explanation:
Duckistan Production Possibilities
A B C D E
Civilian Goods 20 18 14 8 0
Military Goods 0 1 2 3 4
opportunity cost - ¹/₁₈ ¹/₇ ³/₈ 4 civilian goods
opportunity cost 20 18 7 2.7 - military goods
Herbania Production Possibilities
A B C D E
Civilian Goods 40 36 26 14 0
Military Goods 0 1 2 3 4
opportunity cost - ¹/₃₆ ¹/₁₃ ³/₁₄ 4 civilian goods
opportunity cost 40 36 13 4.7 - military goods
Herbania has an absolute advantage in the production of civilian goods. Since it also has a lower opportunity cost of producing civilian goods, therefore, it also has a comparative advantage at producing civilian goods. Assuming that resources are equal in both countries, then we can assume that Herbania is technologically superior in the production of civilian goods.
Dukistan has a lower opportunity cost of producing military goods, therefore, it has a comparative advantage at producing military goods.
