Rue Co.’s allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of $12,000 at December 31, Year 1. During Year 2, Rue wrote

off uncollectible accounts of $48,000. The aging of accounts receivable indicated that a $50,000 allowance for uncollectible accounts was required at December 31, Year 2. What amount of uncollectible accounts expense should Rue report for Year 2?A. $50,000B. $86,000C. $60,000D. $48,000

Answer:

option B

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance = $12,000.

Rue wrote off uncollectible accounts = $48,000

The aging of accounts receivable indicated = $50,000

amount of uncollectible accounts expense = ?

credit balance - wrote off uncollectible account + account expense = account recievable

$12,000 - $48,000 + account expense = $50,000

account expense = $50,000 + $ 36,000

account expense = $86,000

amount of uncollectible accounts expense = $86,000

Hence, the correct answer is option B

Use the midpoint formula to estimate the sales of Cars, Inc. in 2009, given the sales in 2008 and 2010. Assume that the sales of

lana [24]

Answer:

<em>The estimated sales were $260 million</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the endpoints of a segment are (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).

The midpoint (xm,ym) is calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle x_m=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}$

$\displaystyle y_m=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}$

The sales ov Cars, Inc. were (2008,240 million) and (2010,280 million). We need to use the midpoint to estimate the sales in 2009:

$\displaystyle x_m=\frac{2008+2010}{2}=2009$

$\displaystyle y_m=\frac{240+280}{2}=260$

The estimated sales were $260 million

Solve the equation for b

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

D. b=7a

Step-by-step explanation:

Add -11/3a to both sides.

$\frac{1}{3}b=\frac{7}{3}a$

Divide both sides by 1/3

1 /3 b ÷1/ 3 = 7/ 3 ÷a 1 /3

and the answer is

b=7a

ik this doesnt make any sense but hope this helps

∆ABC has vertices A(–2, 0), B(0, 8), and C(4, 2)

Natali [406]

Answer:

Part 1) The equation of the perpendicular bisector side AB is $y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{15}{4}$

Part 2) The equation of the perpendicular bisector side BC is $y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{11}{3}$

Part 3) The equation of the perpendicular bisector side AC is $y=-3x+4$

Part 4) The coordinates of the point P(0.091,3.727)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector side AB

we have

A(–2, 0), B(0, 8)

<em>step 1</em>

Find the slope AB

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{8-0}{0+2}$

$m=4$

<em>step 2</em>

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to side AB

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

therefore

The slope is equal to

$m=-\frac{1}{4}$

<em>step 3</em>

Find the midpoint AB

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

substitute the values

$M(\frac{-2+0}{2},\frac{0+8}{2})$

$M(-1,4)$

<em>step 4</em>

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisectors of AB

the slope is $m=-\frac{1}{4}$

passes through the point $(-1,4)$

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

substitute

$4=(-\frac{1}{4})(-1)+b$

solve for b

$b=4-\frac{1}{4}$

$b=\frac{15}{4}$

so

$y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{15}{4}$

Part 2) Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector side BC

we have

B(0, 8) and C(4, 2)

<em>step 1</em>

Find the slope BC

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{2-8}{4-0}$

$m=-\frac{3}{2}$

<em>step 2</em>

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to side BC

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

therefore

The slope is equal to

$m=\frac{2}{3}$

<em>step 3</em>

Find the midpoint BC

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

substitute the values

$M(\frac{0+4}{2},\frac{8+2}{2})$

$M(2,5)$

<em>step 4</em>

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisectors of BC

the slope is $m=\frac{2}{3}$

passes through the point $(2,5)$

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

substitute

$5=(\frac{2}{3})(2)+b$

solve for b

$b=5-\frac{4}{3}$

$b=\frac{11}{3}$

so

$y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{11}{3}$

Part 3) Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector side AC

we have

A(–2, 0) and C(4, 2)

<em>step 1</em>

Find the slope AC

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{2-0}{4+2}$

$m=\frac{1}{3}$

<em>step 2</em>

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to side AC

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

therefore

The slope is equal to

$m=-3$

<em>step 3</em>

Find the midpoint AC

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

substitute the values

$M(\frac{-2+4}{2},\frac{0+2}{2})$

$M(1,1)$

<em>step 4</em>

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisectors of AC

the slope is $m=-3$

passes through the point $(1,1)$

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

substitute

$1=(-3)(1)+b$

solve for b

$b=1+3$

$b=4$

so

$y=-3x+4$

Part 4) Find the coordinates of the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors (P)

we know that

The point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors is called the circumcenter.

Solve by graphing

using a graphing tool

the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors is P(0.091,3.727)

see the attached figure
