Answer:

a. Debit Allowance for doubtful debt $4,398

   Credit Accounts receivable $4,398

   Being entries to write off receivable due from Madonna Inc.

b. $739,480  before and after the write-off

Explanation:

When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.  

To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.

The realizable value of accounts receivable before the write off is the net of the accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful debt

=  $762,000 - $22,520

= $739,480

This amount remains the same after the write off as the write off will reduce the balances in both the allowance for doubtful debt account and accounts receivable.

Answer:

b) $113,000

Explanation:

For the computation of net income under absorption costing first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

variable overhead per unit = $105,000 ÷ 35,000

= $3 per unit

The Variable cost of production per unit

Particulars                       Amount

Direct material                  $19.00

Direct labor                       $21.00

Variable overhead           $3.00

Variable cost of production

per unit                              $43.00

Cost per unit of finished goods under absorption costing

Particulars                             Amount

Total direct material cost $665,000

($19 × 35000)

Total direct labor              $735,000

($21 × 35000)

Total variable overhead $105,000

Total fixed overhead       $175,000

Total                                 $1,680,000

Units in finished goods = Number of units produced - units sold

= 35,000 - 21,000

= 14,000

Cost of finished goods under variable costing

= Variable cost of production per unit × Number of units in finished goods

= $43 × 14,000

= $602,000

Cost of goods sold

= Production cost - Finished goods  cost

= $1,680,000 - $602,000

= $1,078,000

Income statement under absorption costing

Particulars                        Amount

Sales revenue                $1,491,000

($71 × 21,000)

Less: cost of goods sold -$1,078,000

Gross Profit                      $413,000

Less : operating expenses -$300,000

Net operating income          $113,000

Charlie's brother, Alexander, also consumes apples (A) and bananas (B). Alexander's utility function happens to be U(A, B) = 5A
Andrei [34K]

Solution :

U(A, B) = 5A + 2B

a). Bundles (40, 5) = U ( _____ , 2), lie on the same indifference curve. Suppose missing numbers is x.

So, U(40, 5) = U(x, 2)

   (40 x 5) + (2 x 5) = 50x + (2 x 2)

     210 - 4  = 5x

       x = 41.2

So Alexander has 40 apples and 5 bananas. The indifference curve though (40, 5) also include bundle.

Therefore, (41.2, 2)

b). $MRS_{BA} = \frac{MU_B}{MU_A}$

                  $=\frac{\delta U/\delta B}{\delta U/\delta A}$

                  $=\frac{2}{5}$

                 = 0.4

So Alexander  has 40 apples and 5 bananas with this bundle. Alexander would like to give up 0.4 unit apples for a banana.
