Answer:

The answer is A. dr. Bad Debt Expense with $3,000 and cr. Allowance for Doubtful accounts with $3,000.

Explanation:

The essence of the above entries is to bring the balance for Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to the new estimated 5% of the Accounts Receivable balance of $100,000.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is an adjustable and contra account to the Accounts Receivable.

Management can use any method: direct write-off and aging analysis to determine the balance sheet figure for the account.  But the entry to be journalized at period end is either a credit (to increase the balance) or a debit (to decrease the balance).

Answer:

A. dr. Bad Debt Expense 3,000 and cr. Allowance for Doubtful accounts 3,000

Explanation:

Bad debt Expense will be calculated using the percentage of debt loss. The expense will be calculated using the account receivable balance.

Closing Value of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts will be as follow

Closing Balance = $100,000 x 5% = $5,000

As Allowance for Doubtful Accounts already have credit balance of $2,000, we need to adjust the remainder to make the closing balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $5,000 at the year end.

Adjustment Value = $5,000 - $2,000 = $3,000

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

As a result of the price floor, price would increase. As a result, quantity demanded will decrease and the quantity supplied would increase.

Supply would exceed demand and as a result there would be an excess supply of fish.  

As an alternative to the price floor, the government can subsidise the cost of fishing. This would reduce the cost of producing fish

Explanation:

A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.

At what rate per cent per annum will 4000 yield an interest of 410 in 2 years?​
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

5%

Explanation:

The applicable formula is A = P( 1 + r) ^ n

where A= amount: P is the principal, r, interest rate, n time

In this case,

A = principal + interest = Rs 410 { Rs 4000 + Rs410}

P= Rs 4000

r= ?

n= 2

r is?

4410 = 4000(1 + r) ^2

(1 + i)^ 2 = 4410/4000

(1 + i)^ 2 = 1.1025

1 + i = √1.1025

1 + i = 1.05

i = 1.05 - 1

i = 0.05

0.05 × 100 = 5%
