Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:-

a. Opportunity cost = $41,000

b

Working as dispatcher = Dispatcher pays + (Earn Percentage return × Opportunity cost)

= $32,000 + (9% × $41,000)

= $32,000 + $3,690

= $35,690

 Yes, Mr Dowd would sell the taxi and accept the position as a role of dispatcher

Temka [501]

Answer:

b.a specific account receivable is decreased for the actual amount of bad debt at the time of write-off.

Explanation:

Bad debt expense XXXXX

       To Account receivable XXXXX

(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)

Hence, the correct option is b.
