Answer:

C. Debt service funds account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for principle and interest for governmental debts except debt of proprietary and fiduciary funds who account for their own interest and principle payments.

Explanation:

Under the Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB); Code 200 states that debt service funds are to be used to service terms and bond reserves, guaranty, warrants, note, capital leases, or sinking funds.

Debt service funds is a cash reserve that is used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for principle and interest for governmental debts except debt of proprietary and fiduciary funds who account for their own interest and principle payments.

The purpose of using a debt service fund is to reduce the risk of a debt security for investors, thereby making it more attractive and appealing to them. Also, the debt service fund helps to mitigate the effective interest rate needed by the government to sell the offering.

The other types of governmental funds are namely;

- Capital projects funds.

- Permanent funds.

- General funds.

- Special revenue funds.

Answer:

Explanation:

Debt service funds are used to pay for principal and interest on certain types of debts. This reduced the risk of debt security that investors face and also reduces the effective rate at which the offering can be sold.

However debt service funds cannot be used for proprietary funds like 400 and 500.

Instead we use Enterprise funds for 400. That is operations similar to corporate enterprise. For example water and sewage utilities.

Internal service funds for 500 used by other funds or departments bin a government in a cost reimbursement basis. For example a food supplier that takes orders and is reimbursed for each order.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense using straight line method is shown below:

Formula to be used:

= (Purchase cost - salvage value) ÷ (estimated service life)

For 2021

= ($35,000 - $5,000) ÷ (10 years)

= $3,000

For 4 months, it would be

= $3,000 × 4 months ÷ 12 months

= $1,000

And, for the year 2021, it would be the same i.e. $3,000

Jim saw a decrease in the quantity demanded for his firm’s product from 8000 to 6000 units a week when he raised the price of

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The demand for Jim’s product is elastic

Explanation:

In this question, we are to calculate the price elasticity of demand for the product.

We proceed as follows;

The formula for calculating elasticity of demand is

e = [(Q2 - Q1) / {(Q1 + Q2) / 2}] / [(P2 - P1) / {(P1 + P2) / 2}]

Here, Q2 = 6000

Q1 = 8000

P2 = $250

P1 = $200

e = [(6000 - 8000) / {(8000 + 6000) / 2}] / [($250 - $200) / {($200 + $250) / 2}]

e = [(- 2000) / 7000] / [(50 / 225]

e = - 1.3

That means absolute value of e is 1.3.

So, as the absolute value of e is more than 1 (i.e., 1.3), that means the demand for the product is elastic.
