Answer: $20500

Explanation:

Bad debt is the amount of money that a credit owes the company and is not willing to be paid hence may not be collected.

The amount that Marigold should record as "bad debt expense" for the year ended December 31, 2020 goes thus:

Bad debt allowance balance needed =

$16700

Add: Bad debt that are written off = $26800

Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts = $23000

Bad debt expense will now be:

= $16700 + $26800 - $23,000

= $43500 - $23000

= $20500

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The price of trucking services would fall until equilibrium prices are reached. Only normal profit would be earned in the long run

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

Liquidation is when the business closes down or dissolves which means the business will not continue any further. Firstly all the assets are sold at their market value which differs from the actual cost or the book value and all the liablities are paid for (or compensated for). After paying all the due balances and receiving all receivables the gain or loss is divided amongst the partners according to their partnership agreement which states the profit/loss sharing ratio. in case of no agreement, the profit/loss is shared equally.
