Answer:

$60,500

Explanation:

With regards to the above, the write off does not affect the realizable value of accounts receivables. Also, the total asset or net income is not affected by the write off or specific account. Instead, both assets and net income are affected in the period when bad debt expense is predicted and then recorded with an adjusting entry.

Accounts receivables

$550,000

Less:

Allowance for doubtful account

($550,00 × 2.5%)

($13,750)

Estimated realizable accounts receivables

$536,250

If the amount of bad debt decreases or increases as given below, then the income is also increased or decreased by the amount given.

Bad debts = $13,750

Uncollectible previously written off = $8,800

Difference

$4,950

Net income

$60,500

Less:

Difference

($4,950)

Reported income

$55,550

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: "The rise in the price of a pair of running shoes will increase the supply of running shoes".

This statement is <u><em> false</em></u> because <em><u>a decrease in demand for running shoes does not increase the price of a pair of running shoes and an increase in the price of a pair of running shoes does not increase the supply of running shoes. </u></em>

This occurs as the price of a pair of running shoes increases,therefore decreasing the demand and thus the supply will not increase.

You're trying to save to buy a new $199,000 Ferrari. You have $49,000 today that can be invested at your bank. The bank pays 5.7
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

It will take 25.28 year to have enough to buy the car ( ignoring Inflation effect)

Explanation:

Current Deposit = PV = $49,000

Future Value = FV = $199,000

Interest Rate = r = 5.7%

Use following Formula

FV = PV ( 1 + r )^n

$199,000 = $49,000 ( 1 + 0.057 )^n

$199,000 / $49,000 = ( 1 + 0.057 )^n

4.06 = 1.057^n

Log 4.06 = n log 1.057

n = log 4.06 / log 1.057

n = 25.28

it requires 25.28 year to have an amount to buy the Ferrari.

A good is excludable if: a) Those who are unwilling or unable to pay for the good do not obtain its benefits. b) It is not possi
N76 [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Those who are unwilling or unable to pay for the good do not obtain its benefits.

Explanation:

The excludability feature of goods does not allow individuals to have access to them without having paid for them. Thus, non-excludable goods are those that no one cannot prevent its use. <em>Private goods</em> (clothing, vehicles, houses) are excludable but they are also considered rival goods since when one person uses it another individual cannot consume the goods.

Erin works at a financial institution. She has offered a housing loan to a customer. While carrying out the transaction, which l
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

D. Ensure that she credits the loan amount accurately to the customer’s account

Explanation:

Financial institutions are companies that offer a wide range of monetary and financial services to various customers. The financial institutions include; commercial banks, brokerage firms, investments firms and currency exchange companies. The services offered are; cash deposits and withdrawals, loans, investment services and currency exchange services.

These services can be offered to individuals or even companies that might need a wide range of financial services. In order for these services to be conducted in an orderly fashion, the services offered have to be regulated. This means that the service providers and the customers have to operate within a legal threshold. A knowledge of the legal responsibility of each party is therefor important in these type of environment.

In our case, the legal responsibility of Erin who works as a representative of the financial institution would be to ensure that she credits the loan amount accurately to the customer's account since Erin had already approved the customer's housing loan.

Olivia is a florist who specializes in roses.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Olivier does have sufficient contract rights because she already signed a 5 year contract to supply as many roses as possible to Juan. Juan cannot come at the end of two years and break the contract

Explanation:

1. 1. What contract rights and remedies, if any, does Olivia have against Juan?

The most important point of focus from the aspect of the law and statute of frauds is that from the scenario it was stated clearly that ''She has a <u>five-year written contract with Juan to sell him as many roses as he needs for his wedding chapel.</u> ''

Olivier does have sufficient contract rights because she already signed a 5 year contract to supply as many roses as possible to Juan. Juan cannot come at the end of two years and break the contract

2. What contract rights and remedies, if any, does Olivia have against Ann?

The scenario states clearly that ''Ann emailed Olivia an order for <u>"1,000 white stems''</u> and ''Olivia instead sent orchids, the only "white stems" available at the time.''

Hence Olivia fulfilled Ann's orders and Ann has absolutely no case at all. Olivia has acted in accordance to Ann's request and has full rights to claim her payment.

3. What defenses, if any, do Juan and Ann have?

In summary the defenses of both parties are weak

1. Juan has a defense of unforeseen financial difficulties but this will be insufficient to override a written contract

2. Ann assumed that Olivia would send roses but assumption does not work in the eyes of the law but written agreements.

Additionally, Ann could argue that Olivia should have communicated the price of the orchids at the point of processing Ann's orders.
