Who assumes the risk in a sole proprietorship?

Assume Zap industries reported the following adjusted account balances at year-end. 2019 2018 Accounts Receivable $ 1,730,200 $

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The amount of Bad Debt Expense reported in 2019 was $16,100.

Explanation:

Our concern is mainly on the allowance for doubtful accounts. Based on the facts given in the question, the opening balance of the allowance account was $79,900 credit balance, while the closing balance was $96,000 credit. Since there were no write-offs or recoveries during 2019, the bad debt expense is simply the difference between the closing balance and the opening balance i.e, $96,000 - $79,900 = $16,100.

The journal entries will be:

Debit Bad debt expense $16,100

Credit Allowance for doubtful account $16,100

(To record the bad debt expense for 2019)

Which of the following statements are true regarding externalities? (Check all that apply.) A. Deadweight loss can be either

ella [17]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.

A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.

Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible

Coase theorem has been proposed as a solution to externality. According to this theory, when there are conflicting property rights, bargaining between parties involved can lead to an efficient outcome only if the bargaining cost is low

Another solution to negative externality is through the activities of charities. Charities can raise donations to limit or regulate the activities of firms that constitutes a negative externality.

Answer:

The present yearly net operating income or loss is - $90,000

Explanation:

The computation of present yearly net operating income or loss is shown below:

Net income / Net loss = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost

The sales - variable cost is equal to contribution

Than, Contribution - fixed cost = net income

where,

Sales = Present Sales volume × Selling price

= 15,000 × $70

= $1,050,000

Variable cost = Present volume × Variable cost per unit

= 15,000 × $40

= $600,000

And, fixed cost = $540,000

So, net income / loss = $1,050,000 - $600,000 - $540,000

= - $90,000

Hence, the amount shows negative which means the company has suffered a loss of $90,000

Thus, the present yearly net operating loss is - $90,000
