Answer: $3000

Explanation: Allowance for doubtful accounts is the contra account to accounts receiveable when all the bad debts need to be accounted for. The bad debts reduces the accounts receivable line but all bad debts are actually deducted from the allowance for doubtful accounts.

The allowance for doubtful accounts for that year is calculated as 5% of the accounts receivable balance. This amounts to $8000 (160000 x 5%) before bad debts have been accounted for. Allowance for doubtful accounts moves in the opposite direction as accounts receivable because it is a contra account to this line item. At the end of the year before year end closing entries are done, and after the bad debts have been accounted for, the balance on the allowance for doubtful accounts is $5000.

This means that bad debts for that year is:

8000 (balance before bad debts have been accounted for)

- 5000 (balance after bad debts have been accounted for)

= $3000.

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

<u>Dingo should reject this project </u>

<u />

Explanation:

controllable margin/operating asset = return on assets

This year Luke has calculated his gross tax liability at $2,120. Luke is entitled to a $2,880 non-refundable personal tax credit
Tema [17]

Answer:

$3,460

Explanation:

Gross tax liability $2,120

Less non-refundable personal tax credit $2,880

Refundable personal tax credit $760

Hence:

Income taxes withheld $2,700+ $760

=$3,460

Luke’s non refundable personal credit reduces his gross tax to zero ($2120– 2,880) and $760of the unused credit expires unused.

The $1,740 unused business tax credit carries over and Luke receives a refund of $3,460($760 refundable credit + $2,700 taxes he paid)

Luke’s net tax due or refund is $3,460

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Advantage

Explanation:

According to my research on different business strategies, I can say that based on the information provided within the question Deep Blue is attempting to gain a competitive Advantage by stealing it's competitor's key employees. This is because it is taking away trained employees from their competitors who now have to spend time and money hiring and training new employees for that position, which will take a long time since the new employees will probably not have the experience that Gina had.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
