Dr    Bad debt expense                     $9,100

Cr    Accounts receivable                  $9,100    

(at the time of collection) March 29

 Dr Accounts receivable                      $9,100    

 Cr Bad debts expense                        $9,100

 

  Dr Cash                                              $9,100

  Cr  Accounts receivable                   $9,100

Explanation:

On March 11, Dexter made an entry to write-off bad debts in the amount of $9,100. Dexter Co., charged it directly to Accounts receivable because the company uses direct write-off method. During the collection we have 2 steps to consider; First, On March 29 during the unexpected collection, Dexter shoud set up the reversal of the write-off entry which they had made last March 11. So we debit Accounts receivable and credit bad debts in the amount of $9,100. Second, is to record the collection, debit cash and credit Accounts receivable in the amount of $9,100.

A firm has a fixed production cost of ​$1 comma 000 and a constant marginal cost of production of ​$100 per unit produced. What
Semenov [28]

Answer:

option (D) TC = $1,000 + $100q

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Fixed cost of production = $1,000

Marginal cost of production = $100 per unit produced

Now,

let the total number of quantities produced be 'q'

also,

the total cost is given as:

⇒ Total cost, TC = Total fixed cost + Total marginal cost

or

⇒ TC = $1,000 + ( $100 ×  q )

or

⇒ TC = $1,000 + $100q

Hence,

The correct answer is option (D) TC = $1,000 + $100q

I am an absolute beginner to the job. Whenever I receive an inquiry from a client, my supervisor will text me a price in RMB (Ch
forsale [732]

Answer:

There had been a consensus among economists that the Chinese currency has been undervalued in the 15% to 40% range for many years.1 However, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) stated in the summer of 2015 that the Chinese currency was no longer undervalued against the dollar given its recent appreciation.2

Chinese money, however, comes by two names: the Yuan (CNY) and the people's renminbi (RMB). The distinction is subtle: while renminbi is the official currency of China where it acts as a medium of exchange, the yuan is the unit of account of the country's economic and financial system.

Yuan Vs RMB: Understanding The Difference

Money As a Medium of Exchange

Money enables anyone who possesses it to participate as an equal market player. When consumers use the money to purchase an item or service, they are effectively making a bid in response to an asking price. This interaction creates order and predictability in the marketplace. Producers know what to produce and how much to charge, while consumers can reliably plan their budgets around predictable and stable pricing models.

When money, as represented by a currency, is no longer viable as a medium of exchange, or if its monetary units can no longer be accurately valued. Consumers lose their ability to plan budgets, and there is no longer a way to gauge supply and demand accurately. In short, market volatility will cause the markets to become chaotic.

Prices are bid up or raised, in response to worries about scarcity and fears of the unknown. Meanwhile, supply diminishes because of hoarding behaviors, coupled with an inability of producers to quickly replenish inventory.

Money as Unit of Account

Unit of account (or numeraire) is an economic term that represents a unit in which prices are measured. A numeraire is usually applied to a single good, which becomes the base value for the entire index or market. By having a numeraire, or base value, it allows us to compare the value of goods against each other. In essence, the numeraire acts as a set standard of value across an exchange.

An example of a numeraire arises when we look at how currencies were valued under the Bretton Woods Agreement and System during the mid-twentieth century. The U.S. dollar (USD) was fixed at $35 per ounce of gold. All other currencies were then priced as either a multiple or a fraction of the dollar.3 In this situation, the USD acted as the de facto benchmark, or numeraire, because it was fixed to the price of gold.

g had reported a deferred tax asset of $130 million with no valuation allowance. At December 31, 2021, the account balances of R
andrew-mc [135]

Answer: $101 million

Explanation:

The amount that Ross should report as income tax expense in its 2021 income statement will be calculated thus:

First, we'll calculate the deferred tax asset in valuation allowance which will be:

= Deferred tax asset before valuation allowance - Deferred tax asset after valuation allowance

= $170 million - $130 million

= $40 million

Then, income tax expense will be:

Income taxes payable= $90 million

Add: DTA not be realized = $170 million × 30% = $51 million

Less: Deferred tax asset in valuation allowance = ($40 million)

Income tax expense = $101 million
