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.

A company estimates that the revenue (in dollars) from the sale of x doghouses is given by R(x)=14,000ln(0.01x+1). Use the diffe
melamori03 [73]

Answer: The change in revenue for the sale of 1 more doghouse $ 66.67 dollars

Explanation: Differential is a function that can be used to approximate function value with a great degree of accuracy. This is done by the following.

Mathematical definition of derivative: f'(x) = lim f(x+Δx) - f(x)/Δx.

If Δx is very small:

f'(x) . Δx ≅ f(x+Δx) - f(x)

Knowing that Δy ≅ f(x+Δx) - f(x) and the diferential of variable x can be written by dx as the variable y can be dy:

dy = f'(x) dx

which means that the differential dy is approximately equal to the change Δy, if Δx is very small.

For the question, R(x) = y(x) = 14,000ln(0.01x+1)

f'(x) = \frac{d[14,000.ln(0.01x+1)]}{dx}

Using the chain rule, the derivative will be:

f'(x) = 14,000.\frac{0.01}{0.01x+1}

dy = 14,000.\frac{0.01}{0.01x+1}.dx

dx is the change in x. For the question, the change is 1 (1 more doghouse) and x is 110:

dy = 14,000\frac{0.01}{0.01.110+1}.1

dy = \frac{140}{2.1}

dy = 66.67

The change in revenue is $66.67 dollars.

An expected increase in the market price of oil in the coming year is likely to: shift the supply curve of oil to the left in th
diamong [38]

Answer:

cause no changes in the demand and supply curves of oil in the current year.

Explanation:

Changes in price don't generate shifts in the supply and demand curves in the short term. It generates a movement along the curves as non price changes are the ones that generate a shift in these curves. If the price of the oil increases, the demand quantity falls which will cause a movement along the demand curve. Also, this situation will increase the supply quantity which also generates a movement along the supply curve.
