Answer:

$1,160

Explanation:

<em>Hie, I have attached the full question as an image below.</em>

The firm usually makes provision for certain amounts so as not to overstate their profits. This expected as it is prudent than reporting profits that might never occur. Provisions of Uncollectible accounts are examples of such amounts.

An increase in Uncollectible amount compared to the opening balance is treated as an Expense in the Income Statement whilst a decrease is treated as an Income.

For this question, we are told that Uncollectible accounts are determined by the​ percent-of-sales method to be ​4% of credit sales. Thus calculation of the 2012 uncollectible-account expense is as follows :

Credit Sales - 2012 = $44,000

Beginning Balance in allowances = $600

Therefore,

Uncollectable Amount (2012) = Credit Sales x percent-of-sales

                                                 = $44,000 x 4%

                                                 = $1,760

The Uncollectable amount has increased by $1,160 ($1,760 - $600)

Conclusion :

The collectible-account expense for 2012 is $1,160

Richland’s real GDP per person is $10,000, and Poorland’s real GDP per person is $5,000. However, Richland’s real GDP per person
dangina [55]

Answer:

It will take approximately 36 Years to Poorland to catch up to Richland.

Explanation:

Given data:

The GDP increase in Poorland per year = 1 %

The GDP increase in Richland per year = 3 %

Calculations:

Step 1: For Richland:

The formula for calculating the per year GDP increase for Richland is:

GDP = 10,000 + (10,000 x (1/100)) ---- (1)

GDP for first Year = 10,100$

GDP for second Year = 10,201 $

Similarly using the formula (1) we calculated the values for 10 and 20 years

GDP for 10th Year = 11046.2$

GDP for 20th Year = 12201.9$

Step 2: For Poorland:

The formula for calculating the per year GDP increase for Poorland is:

GDP = 5,000 + (5,000 x (3/100)) ---- (1)

GDP for first Year = 5,150$

GDP for second Year = 5,304.5 $

Similarly using the formula (1) we calculated the values for 10 and 20 years

GDP for 10th Year = 6719.6$

GDP for 20th Year = 9030.6$

Step 3: When will Poorland catch up to Richland:

By calculating values using the above formulas, we have found that for 38th year, Poorland will catch upto Richland and will have more GDP.

Poorland GDP for 36th Year = 14491.4$

Richland GDP for 36th Year = 14307.7$

Thane Company is interested in establishing the relationship between electricity costs and machine hours. Data have been collect
dangina [55]

Answer:

The correct option : B. Cost = $ 130.00 + $ 5.90 x Machine - hours

Explanation:

Let's use the following method to solve the given problem

Now applying the high-low method of cost estimation,

High => November, 5,300 machine hours

Low => March, 2,300 machine hours

Arranging it in a simultaneous equations for total cost:

We can let fixed cost per month to be F, and the variable cost per machine -hour be V, and the number of machine-hours be Q.

Therefore

Total cost = F + VQ

High => F + 5,300Q = $ 31,400

Low => F + 2,300Q = $ 13,700

Subtracting Low from High, we have 3,000Q = $ 17,700 or Q = $ 5.90 per machine hour ................equation one

F = $ 13,700 - ( 2,300 x $ 5.90) = $ 130......................................................................equation two
