Answer:

A. $800

Explanation:

Ana Co.

Sales                            $500,000        

Accounts Receivable    $40,000      

Allowance for doubtful accounts   $300  Credit

Bad Debts Expense = 2 % of $ 40,000=   $  800          

The adjusting entry would be

Bad Debts Expense $ 800 Dr.

Allowance for doubtful accounts   $800  Credit    

As we already have a credit balance of $ 300 in the doubtful accounts we will increase it with an amount of $ 500.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $ 500 Debit

Account Receivable                     $ 500 Credit

4. Suppose the supply of apples sharply increases because of perfect weather conditions throughout the growing season. Assuming
koban [17]

Answer:

Apples supply increase imply new equilibrium at lower price, higher quantity. Demand downwards expansion on the curve itself is due to lower price.

Explanation:

Market is at equilibrium where Market Demand = Market Supply, & downward sloping  demand curve intersects upward sloping demand curve.

If supply of apples increase & supply curve shifts rightwards, there is Excess Supply at previous equilibrium. Excess Supply creates competition among sellers, reduces new market price.

At lower price, demand expands & supply contratcs. New Equilibrium quantity is higher where new (rightwards shifted) supply curve intersects demand curve.

Quantity demanded increases (expands - downwards movement on demand curve) due to lower price, despite of no change in demand.

gladu [14]

Answer:

91 days

Explanation:

Here, we are to calculate the average number of days it will take to sell its inventory in 2019.

We proceed mathematically as follows;

Inventory turnover=COGS/Average inventory

Average inventory=(192,000 + 202,000)/2=$197,000

hence inventory turnover=(790,000/197,000)= 4.01

hence average days to sell=365/4.01 =91 days (approx)
