Answer:

b. Cannot tell the change in equilibrium quantity. The equilibrium price will decrease

Explanation:

Two things are going on here

1. Income decreases, that will shift demand inwards. People can buy fewer goods at any given price

2. New technology is discovered, that shifts supply outwards. Costs are reduced so producers can produce more at a given price

The resulting effects are that price will decrease but the result in quantity is undetermined. This can be seen with the two examples attached. In both cases, the shifting of the curves from D0->D1 and S0->S1 results in lower prices. However, in one case the equilibrium quantity goes up and in the other goes up.

ASTRO COMPANY

Forecasted Contribution Margin Income Statement

For Year Ended December 31, 2016

Sales                             $ 1,000,000

Variable costs               ($ 400,000 )

Contribution margin      $ 600,000

Fixed costs                    ($ 450,000 )

Net loss                           $ 150,000

Required 4.

Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = $1,833,333

Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = 73,334

Explanation:

Break even point is the level of activity where a Company neither makes a profit nor a loss.

<em>Break even point (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin Ratio</em>

Where,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales

                                           = $ 200,000 / $ 1,000,000

                                           = 0.20

Therefore,

Break even point (dollar sales) = $250,000 / 0.20

                                                   = $1,250,000

<u>Assuming the machine is installed</u>

Contribution Margin Ratio = ($ 1,000,000 - $400,000) / $ 1,000,000

                                           = $600,000 / $1,000,000

                                           = 0.60

Therefore,

Break even point (dollar sales) = ($250,000 + $200,000) / 0.60

                                                   = $750,000

Sales to meet target profit of $200,000

Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost + Target Profit  / Contribution Margin Ratio

                                                                  = ($450,000 + $200,000) / 0.60

                                                                  = $1,833,333

Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = $1,833,333 / $25

                                                               = 73,334

Prepare the adjusting entry to record bad debts expense assuming uncollectibles are estimated to be (1) 3% of credit sales, (2)
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

1.

Date                   Account Title                                             Debit          Credit

Dec. 31             Bad debt expense                                    $9,000

                        Allowance for doubtful accounts                                 $9,000

Working

= 3% * 300,000

= $9,000

2.

Date                   Account Title                                             Debit          Credit

Dec. 31             Bad debt expense                                    $12,000

                        Allowance for doubtful accounts                              $12,000

Working

= 1% * total debt

= 1% * (900,000 + 300,000)

= $12,000

3.

Date                   Account Title                                             Debit          Credit

Dec. 31             Bad debt expense                                    $12,500

                        Allowance for doubtful accounts                              $12,500

Working

= 6% * Accounts receivable

= 6% * 125,000

= $7,500

As the Allowance account is in debit, it means that bad debt exceeded the allowance so this balance needs to be added to properly cater for bad debts.

= 7,500 + 5,000

= $12,500

The following account balances were taken from the adjusted trial balance of Kendall Company: Revenues $ 22,400 Operating Expens
dsp73

Answer:

Retained earnings-Closing = $19,900

Explanation:

Given that,

Revenues = $22,400

Operating Expenses = $15,000

Dividends = $4,500

Retained Earnings(opening) = $17,000

Net Income = Revenues - Operating expenses

                    = $ 22,400 - $15,000

                    = $7,400

Statement of Retained Earnings:

Retained earnings-Closing:

= Retained earnings -opening + Net Income - Dividends

=  $17,000 + $7,400 - $4,500

= $19,900
