Businesses employ workers from city neighborhoods and rural areas. These workers are perfect substitutes and cannot relocate in

the short run. The government offers businesses a wage subsidy if they hire workers from city neighborhoods. What is the effect of the subsidy on the wage rate of rural workers and on the total hours they work?

Answer:

This subsidy would decrease the rural workers' wages since it also decreases the wage of workers from city neighborhoods and both workers are perfect labor substitutes. Therefore, the total hours worked by rural workers would also decrease, since the wage is the price of labor, and when a price decreases, its supply decreases.

On July 1, Crowe Co. pays $15,000 to Zubin Insurance Co. for a 3-year insurance policy. Both companies have fiscal years ending
Neko [114]

Answer:

a.

July 1, Year 1

Prepaid Insurance                  $15000 Dr

     Cash                                       $15000 Cr

Dec 31, Year 1

Insurance expense                    $2500 Dr

    Prepaid Insurance                     $2500 Cr

b.

July 1, Year 1

Cash                                                  $15000 Dr

    Unearned Service revenue             $15000 Cr

Dec 31, Year 1

Unearned service revenue        $2500 Dr

    Service revenue                           $2500 Cr

Explanation:

a.

The company will record the cash going out of the business for prepaid insurance as credit and the asset account prepaid insurance as debit to record the prepayment of insurance for 3 years at the amount of $15000.

The insurance paid out is for 3 years. So, the per year insurance expense is,

Insurance expense per year = $15000 / 3 = $5000

The adjusting entry made on 31 december will record the insurance months consumed (6 months) as an expense and debit the insurance expense and credit the prepaid insurance asset account.

The insurance expense for 6 months = 5000 * 6/12 = $2500

b.

For the receiving company, the cash is being received and as the service will be provided later on, the cash received will be debited and the unearned service revenue will be credited.

As six months worth of cover has passed, on 31 December, the company will record service revenue for 6 months that is $2500 and debit the liability recorded under unearned service revenue.
