Answer:
Change in Investment (Government Spending) = $200
Explanation:
Multiplier = k =∆Y/∆I = 1/(1-MPC)
Needed ∆Y = $1000 ; MPC = 0.8
1000/ ∆I = 1 / (1-0.8)
1000/∆I = 1 / 0.2
1000/∆I = 5
∆I = 1000/5
∆I = 200
Answer: $5,440
Explanation:
When using the percent of sales method to determine bad debts, the company estimates a percentage that it believes will results in uncollectible debt and then applies it to the sales/revenue figure. The figure that is calculated is then debited along with the debit balance on the Allowance for doubtful accounts to the Bad debts account for the year and credited to the Allowance for doubtful accounts.
This company estimates that they will have 0.6% of credit sales uncollectible.
There are also $790,000 in sales of which all are on credit.
The Uncollectible estimate is therefore,
= 790,000 * 0.6%
= $4,740
This figure is then added to the debit amount on the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts.
= 4,470 + 700
= $5,440
Note; A debit balance on the Allowance for doubtful debt account signifies that the bad debts were higher than anticipated the last time. This is why the figure is added to the current bad debts expense.
Answer:
Dr Retained earnings $14,000
Cr Inventory $14,000
Explanation:
There is a need to make adjustment to the inventory . Therefore,
Adjusted inventory
= New method of $171,000 - Old method of $185,000
= $14,000 decrease
It is to be noted that a lower inventory will have high costs associated with goods sold hence reduces profit/net income for the previous year by $14,000.
Also, the net income reports to retained earnings account hence decreases retained earnings.
Having made the above adjustment, we can assume that the average cost method was used for 2020 books.
