Answer:
(a) What was the total of accounts written off during the first 11 months?
bad debts written for the first 11 months = allowance for bad debt accounts January 1 balance + bad debt expense - allowance for bad debt accounts November 30 balance = $13,085 + $21,937 - $9,919 = $25,103
(b) As the result of a comprehensive analysis, it is determined that the December 31, 2010, balance of the Allowance for Bad Debts account should be $9,450. Show the adjustment required in the journal entry format.Allowance for bad debt Debit $Bad debt expenses Credit $
to determine the amount of bad debt expense that must be adjusted, we must subtract the estimated balance in December 31 from the balance in November 30 = $9,919 - $9,450 = $469. Since the November 30 amount is larger, it means that we over estimated our bad debt expense and it must be reduced:
Dr Allowance for doubtful accounts 469
Cr Accounts receivable 469
A. It is decreased by 50,000 (I'm 50% sure)

Answer: $352,000
Explanation:
The information needed to calculate the cash and cash equivalent are:
Balance in checking account, Bank of the East = $ 382,000
The restricted cash included in the checking account = $49,000
Treasury bills = $19,000
We subtract the restricted cash from the balance in the checking account and then add it to the treasury bills. This will be:
= ($382,000 - $49,000) + $19,000
= $333,000 + $19,000
= $352,000
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": The firm must be subsidized or it will go bankrupt.
Explanation:
A subsidy is a benefit given to an individual, business or institution, typically by the government. Subsidies are given to promote a social good or economic policy. The government usually provides subsidies in the form of cash or tax breaks, low-rate loans, and certain types of rebates.
In the example, as the commission sets the price of the monopoly products below the average total cost, it will be translated in losses. Then, a subsidy will be necessary to be provided otherwise the company will file for bankruptcy.
