Answer: Calistoga's final balance in its allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2021 is $246.

Explanation: Calistoga Produce applies percentage of credit sales method to estimate its bad debt expense. So 0.60% of $331,000 (credit sales) = $1,986 and the balance in allowance for doubtful accounts is $1,520. The following journals would be recorded to adjust for the estimate:

Debit Bad debt expense                                      $466

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts           $466

The $466 is the difference between $1,986 and $1,520

Now that the company writes off $1,740 accounts receivable, the following journal entries apply:

Debit Allowance for doubtful account              $1,740

Credit Accounts receivable                                $1,740

In summary, the allowance account movement is as follows:

Opening balance                                                 $1,520

Additional bad debt expense                                 466

Write-off during the year                                     (1,740)

Balance, end of the year                                       $246

New Keynesian economists critique rational expectations by arguing that short-term wage stickiness is brought about by

b. imperfect information and efficiency wages.

Explanation:

The assumption in macroeconomic theories is that economic agents, households, and companies exercise rational expectations.  The New Keynesian economics posits that rational expectations have become distorted as a result of market failure, arising from asymmetric information and imperfect competition, thus questioning the ability of markets to self-regulate and self-correct.

Which bond would you expect to pay the highest interest rate?
UNO [17]

Answer:

The bond that should pay the highest interest rate is:

d. a bond issued by a new restaurant chain.

Explanation:

This is based on the fact that the new restaurant chain is untested, has higher risk profile and the bondholders are assuming higher risks, and the bond cannot be compared to the bonds issued by the US government, New York State, and General Motors, in that order.  The new restaurant chain will be offering a higher rate of return than others because it is new to the bond market and would like to attract potential bond investors.   Without the higher rate, therefore, it will not be successful in the bond issuance.

There are independent insurance companies in the market that provide such services for employees who are not granted with basic benefits. They can arrange for a person to pay insurance in a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis.
