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.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

B. the highest valued alternative that must be given up to engage in an activity.

Explanation:

Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone while choosing an alternative.

Eg1: If I like Chapati more than rice & rice more than curd, the opportunity cost of consuming chapati is the next best option i.e rice.

Eg2 : Working as school teacher with salary 20000, next best option salary as coaching tutor i.e 10000 is the Opportunity Cost

A is inapt : Opportunity cost can be monetary or non monetary. Eg2 has monetary opportunity cost. But, Eg 1 has opportunity cost in terms of rice' (sacrifised) satisfaction.

C is inapt : Opportunity cost is only the cost of next best alternative & not all alternatives. Eg1 - Curd i.e 3rd best option after chapati, is not the opportunity cost after chapati.

Which answer is not a cost to the investor that is included in the calculation of an investment's interest rate
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Risk of a bad investment

Explanation:

When an investor is calculating an investment's interest rate, he/she must include all brokerage commissions and fees , inflation rate (interest rate must exceed the inflation rate) and the investor's opportunity cost.

Investors are risk adverse, which means that a risky investment should yield a higher return. That could be considered a rational investment rule, but it is not included in the calculation of the interest rate.

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Allocated MOH= $18,750

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The estimated total factory overhead= $300,000

Total estimated direct labor cost= $240,000.

The actual direct labor cost was $15,000.

First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate based on direct labor cost. Then, we can allocate overhead.

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 300,000/240,000= $1.25 per direct labor dollar

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 1.25*15,000

Allocated MOH= $18,750
