Answer:

(a) The adjusting journal entry to record bad debt expense for the year:

Debit Bad debt expense  $5,640

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts  $5,640

<em>(To record bad debt expense)</em>

(b) If the allowance for doubtful accounts had a debit balance of $870 instead of a credit balance of $2,950, The appropriate journal entries are:

Debit Bad debt expense $9,460

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts  $9,460

<em>(To record bad debt expense)</em>

Explanation:

To arrive at the bad debt expense for Kingbird, Inc., we simply need to calculate 3% of accounts receivable, as follows:

2% of $429,500 = $8,590

Since the allowance for doubtful accounts has a credit balance of $2,950, the bad debt expense will be: $8,590 - $2,950 = $5,640. The appropriate journal entries are as provided above.

However, if the allowance for doubtful accounts had a debit balance of $870 instead of a credit balance of $2,950, the bad debt expense will be: $8,590 + $870 = $9,460. The addition is necessary in order to reinstate the allowance account to $8,590. The appropriate journal entries are as provided above.

Answer:

normal good

elastic demand

Explanation:

Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income.

Income elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in income

percentage change in quantity demanded = (7/2) - 1 = 250%

percentage change in income = (52,000 / 45,000) - 1 = 15.6%

250 / 15.6 =  16.07

If the absolute value of income elasticity of demand is greater than one, it means demand is elastic.

Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls

Inferior goods are goods whose demand falls when income rises and increases when income falls.

Answer:

Communicate differences to supervisors to facilitate promotion decisions

Explanation:

Budgets are used to <em>control</em> firm activities. In the process of controlling activities, managers and supervisors might meet the targets, this would be a good thing as the practices they applied are used in areas not meeting targets. thus budgets are used for <em>motivation</em> purposes instead of <em>facilitating </em>promotion decisions
