Answer:

Firm should not shut down, as it is able to cover its Average Variable Cost

Explanation:

Perfect Competition firms in Short Run : The firms produce even if their average revenue (price) < their average total costs (AC). They continue production until Average variable cost (AVC) ≥ per unit price (P) i.e average revenue (AR). This is called Shut Down Point. P lower beyond AVC implies that firm won't continue even in short run.

Given : Variable Cost (VC) = 500 ; Revenue (R) = 510

Average Variable Costs & Average Revenue are variable costs & revenue, per unit quantity. AVC = VC / Q ; AR (P) = R / Q

R i.e 510 > VC i.e 500

So, R/ Q i.e AR is also > VC / Q i.e AVC

Since AVC > AR (P), firm should not shut down

Determining Financial Statement Effects of Write-Offs and Bad Debt Expense Using the Allowance Method
uysha [10]

Answer: Please see the analysis below

Explanation: The following are the financial statement effects

                                  Assets Liabilities Stockholders Equity Income Expense

Write-off of $10,000     -           -                   Nil                           Nil         Nil

Bad debt of $8,000     -           +                   -                                -             +

  • Write-off of customer balances of $10,000 would lead to reduction in assets and also reduction in liabilities (since the provision for doubtful accounts reports to liabilities but mapped to the accounts receivable to show the net amount). Here, we have assumed that there is an existing allowance for doubtful accounts that has $10,000 buffer or more. If the write-off was not initially provided for, it would hit expense by debiting bad debt expense and crediting the accounts receivable. <em>Its effects are therefore decrease in asset, decrease in liabilities.</em>
  • Bad debt expense of $8,000 affects the expense and the liabilities/assets. Journal entries to record the bad debt expense is Debit Bad debt expense $8,000; Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $8,000. So, it affects the expense, liabilities and ultimately the assets (allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra to the accounts receivable). <em>Its effects are increase in expense, increase in liabilities, decrease in stockholders equity, decrease in income and decrease in assets</em>

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

$17,820,000

Explanation:

The amount of tax due to government authorities for the current period is referred to as current portion of income tax expense. It is calculated by product of current or enacted tax rate and taxable income for the period

Taxable income for 2021 = $66million

Enacted or current tax rate for 2021 = 27%

Current portion of income tax expense for 2021 = Taxable income x current tax rate = $66 million x 27% = $17,820,000million

Hence Current portion of income tax expense = $18 million
