Answer:
The answer is $86,167.57 (to 2 decimal places)
Explanation:
In this question, we are to calculate the present value of a certain amount that is compounded semiannually, and after 10 years, yields a future value of $200,000. To calculate this, we will use the formula for calculating present value as follows:
PV = FV ÷ 
where:
PV = present value = ???
FV = future value = $200,000
r = interest rate in decimal = 8.6% = 0.086
n = compounding period pr year = semiannually = 2
t = time of compounding in years = 10
Therefore,
PV = 200,000 ÷ 
PV = 200,000 ÷
= $86,167.57
Answer: The price of the tied good is $27.
Explanation: The practice of tying is used to package products in such a way that the price of the tied (combined) good is closer to the buyers total willingness to pay for the two goods.
In this case, the total willingness to pay of Carnivore is $20+$7=$27
While, that of Leafygreens is $8+$12=$20
Thus, the producer will sell the combined good at $27 as it will give him more revenue.
Answer:
amount of Bad Debt Expense for 2019 = $92,000
Explanation:
A bad debt expense is a uncollectible receivable amount incurred on a credit sale to a customer, who is no longer able to pay the debt, due to bankruptcy or other financial problems. Companies make provision for these kind of credit losses in the allowance for doubtful accounts, and hence records the amount used from the allowance for doubtful accounts as the bad debt expense.
In our example, the allowance for doubtful account for 2019 is $92,000, hence since it was used to settle part of the credit losses, this becomes the bad debt expense.
Answer: False
Explanation:
The price elasticity of supply measures the change in quantity supplied when the price changes.
The basic trend is that when price increases, quantity supplied increases as well. The reverse is true.
Price elasticity of supply = %Change in quantity supplied / % change in price
0.5 = -6% / Change in price
0.5 * Change in price = -6%
Change in price = -6% / 0.5
= -12%
The statement above is therefore false because price should have reduced by 12% for quantity supplied to reduce by 6%
Double-declining balance. Keep in mind there are three main ways to depreciate: straight-line, units of production, and double declining balance. Straight-line means depreciating the same amount every year. Units of production is based off your production levels for the year. Double declining means you depreciate more in earlier years (2 times your straight-line rate) and depreciate less in later years.
