Answer:

$20,000

Explanation:

When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.  

To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.

However, in the direct writeoff method, estimates of uncollectible receivables are posted directly into the accounts receivable and not into the allowance account.

The amount in the accounts receivable before write off

= $150,000 - $83,000

= $67,000

Amount written of is $20,000, this will be posted as a debit to bad debt expense and a credit to accounts receivable.

The balance sheet reports revenues and selling costs for a period of time.
Reika [66]
I would say false, the sheet that reports the revenues and the costs is known as the income statement. the balance sheet is the sheet that would report all of the assets (such as the cash, accounts receivable, or others). The balance sheet will also report all the liabilities (including the accounts payable, notes payable and others). Lastly, the balance sheet will also report the equity or the capital account of the business. So in a nutshell, the balance sheet reports the assets, liabilities, and owner's equity.

Suppose Jones Company manufactures chairs. One model is the executive chair that sells for $120. Jones Company projects sales of
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

$32,000

Explanation:

Cost of goods sold refers to all direct expenses incurred in producing goods and excludes all selling and indirect costs.

Cost of goods sold = Sales value - Gross Profit

Gross profit = Sales value - Direct costs - overhead costs

Gross profit per unit = $120 - ($50 + $ 20 + $10)

Gross profit per unit = $40 per unit

Gross profit in value = $40 per unit × No of units = $40 × 400 units = $16,000

Budgeted sales value = Selling price per unit × Budgeted sales units

                                     = $120 × 400 chairs = $48000

Thus, budgeted cost of goods sold = Budgeted sales value - Gross Profit in value

= $48000 - $16000 = $32000

<u>Note</u>: While computing gross profit, selling and administrative expenses would be excluded since those are used while computing net income. Also, cost of goods sold excludes selling and administrative i.e . indirect costs.

tatyana61 [14]

If brazil gives up 3 automobiles for each ton of coffee it produces, while peru gives up 7 automobiles for each ton of coffee it produces, then Brazil should focus on producing coffee because it has a competitive edge in this area.

What does Brazil have a comparative advantage in?

  • Brazil is rich in minerals, especially iron ore, but it also has oil and other basic materials. Although technically speaking they are economic rents rather than comparative advantages, they nonetheless exist and the majority of other nations do not.
  • In terms of actual comparative advantage, it is the low-cost producer of a number of agricultural items, most notably sugar, where Brazil is unquestionably the global heavyweight, but also soy, cotton, coffee, and other crops, as well as beef, poultry, and other protein.
  • Brazil's issue is not its producing side. In general, they are effective producers. It relates to infrastructure. Usually, the top three producers of most commodities are the US and Brazil.

John was driving his car in a careless way, failing to drive as a reasonably prudent person would under the driving conditions.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

1. <em>If this law of contributory negligence applies to the state, then Ramona will receive no compensation for the damages she sustained. </em>

<em> </em>2<em>. If this law of comparative negligence applies to this state, then Ramona will get 100% - 20% = 80% of the damages incurred in the accident, from John which will be $80,000</em>

<em />

Explanation:

In contributory negligence, the defense completely bars plaintiffs from any recovery if they contribute to their own injury through their own negligence.

<em>If this law of contributory negligence applies to the state, then Ramona will receive no compensation for the damages she sustained. </em>

<em> </em>

In comparative negligence, the plaintiff's damages is award by the percentage of fault that the fact-finder assigns to the plaintiff for his or her own injury i.e the plaintiff's damage compensation is reduced by percentage of his/her percentage of fault.

<em>If this law of comparative negligence applies to this state, then Ramona will get 100% - 20% = 80% of the damages incurred in the accident, from John</em>

this is 80% of $100,00 which is equal to <em>$80,000</em>
