Answer:

The correct answer is B. (3,375) = NA + (3,375) NA − 3,375 = (3,375) NA.

Explanation:

The question asks for the effect of the adjusting entry on December 31, Year 1, that is, the creation of the 3% allowance for uncollectible debts.

Allowance for bad debts = 3% x $112,500 = $3,375

Its effect is as follows.

Assets: Since accounts receivable (an asset) is reduced, assets are reduced  by $3,375.

Liabilities: No effect.

Equity: As Equity = Assets - Liabilities, the net effect is to reduce the equity by $3,375.

Revenue: No effect.

Expenses: Sales worth $3,375 is written off as an expense. Hence, total expenses increase by $3,375.

Net increase: As revenue remains unchanged while expenses increase by $3,375, the net increase is a negative of $3,375.

Cash flow: No effect, because there is no exchange of cash since the amount of $3,375 was never received by Loudoun Corporation.

These entries correspond to option B. which is thus the correct answer.

You are a newspaper publisher. You are in the middle of a one-year rental contract for your factory that requires you to pay $50
Anettt [7]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Fixed cost is

= $500,000 + $1,000,000

= $1,500,000

And, the marginal cost is

= $0.25 + $0.10

= $0.35 per paer

Now

as we know that

AFC = FC ÷ Q

Now for At 1,000,000 papers,

AFC is

= 1,500,000 ÷ 1,000,000

= $1.50/mo

At 800,000 , it would be

AFC = 1,500,000 ÷ 800,000

= $1.875/mo

MC = $0.35 per paper  and the same is not changed

Now for break even, the average total cost is

ATC = AFC + AVC

ATC = FC ÷ Q + VC ÷ Q

VC = MC × Q

ATC = FC ÷ Q + MC

ATC = FC ÷ Q + 0.35

At Q = 1,000,000,

ATC = 1.50 + 0.35

ATC = $1.85

At Q = 800,000 , it would be

ATC = 1.875 + 0.35

=  $2.225

As it can be seen that

The AFC changes from 1.50 to 1.875 which shows an increment of 0.375.

The MC remains constant or same  at 0.35 as the printing and delivery costs per paper are remain same

And, The minimum amount that we must charge to break even rises i.e. from 1.85 to 2.225. That is a rise of 0.375

A negative externality or spillover cost occurs when Multiple Choice the price of a good exceeds the marginal cost of producing
Mekhanik [1.2K]

A negative externality or spillover cost occurs when  the total cost of producing a good exceeds the costs borne by the producer.

  • Spillover costs, commonly referred to as "negative externalities," are losses or harm that a market transaction results in for a third party. Even though they were not involved in making the initial decision, the third party ultimately pays for the transaction in some way, according to Fundamental Finance.
  • An incident in one country can have a knock-on effect on the economy of another, frequently one that is more dependent on it, known as the spillover effect.
  • Externalities are the names for these advantages and costs of spillover. When a cost spills over, it has a negative externality. When a benefit multiplies, a positive externality happens. Therefore, externalities happen when a transaction's costs or benefits are shared by parties other than the producer or the consumer.

Thus this is the answer.
