Answer: Harder to sustain cooperation
Explanation:
When the number of firms in an oligopolistic market increases as is the case here, cooperation becomes harder because profits become smaller so companies start to become more selfish.
Also in this scenario, the cheating firm has the incentive to do so because the profit is so much higher than sharing so companies will always be looking to cheat in order to make this profit. The other firms would reply by reducing prices and all of them would suffer.
Answer:
$844,000
Explanation:
Given that,
Accounts Receivable = $900,000
Credit balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts per books before adjustment = $50,000
Expected amount of uncollectible = $56,000
Bad debt expense at the end of the period is determined by subtracting the credit balance of allowance for doubtful accounts from the expected amount of uncollectible.
Bad debt expense:
= Expected amount of uncollectible - Credit balance
= $56,000 - $50,000
= $6,000
At the end of the period, the allowance for doubtful accounts has a balance of $56,000 that are to be uncollectible.
The cash realizable value of the accounts receivable at December 31, after adjustment, is determined by simply subtracting the Allowance for doubtful accounts from the accounts receivable. It is calculated as follows:
= Accounts Receivable - Allowance for doubtful accounts
= $900,000 - $56,000
= $844,000
Answer:
$15 per backpack
Explanation:
The average variable cost per of producing a backpack by using the high low method is shown below:
Variable cost per backpack = (High total cost - low total cost) ÷ (High backpack produced - low backpack produced )
= ($110,000- $87,500) ÷ (4,000 backpack produced - 2,500 backpack produced )
= $22,500 ÷ 1,500 backpack produced
= $15 per backpack
