Bad accounts are those credits granted by the company and there is no possibility of being charged.

When customers buy products on credits but the company cannot collect the debt, then it's necessar to cancel the unpaid invoice as uncollectible.

One way is to directly cancel bad debts at the time it was decided that the credit is bad, the total amount reported as bad debt expenses negatively affect the income statement and the accounts receivable are reduced by the same amount, less assets

The other way is to determine a percentage of the total amount of accounts receivable as bad debts, there are many ways to analyze accounts receivable and calculate the value of bad debts.

When the company has the percentage of uncollectible accounts, the required journal entry is Bad Expenses (debit) with Reserve for Bad Accounts (credit)

At the time of cancellation, since the expenses were recognized before, we only use the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Debit)  with accounts receivable (credit), with this we are recognizing the bad credit of the company.

A newspaper story on the effect of higher milk prices on the market for ice cream contained the following: "As a result [of the
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The price elasticity of demand for icecream is -0.75, that means that is inelastic.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the porcentage of the change in the demand when there is a change in the price. If the change in porcentage of the demand is less than the pocentage of change in the price we talk about inelastic demand. An increase in the price of inelastic goods will result in bigger revenues, as the porcentage in the drop of sales is less than the porcentage   of increase in the price.

The formula is: % in change demand/% in change of price

-3%/4= -0.75

The minus symbol indicates that when the price rises the demand decrease.

forsale [732]

Answer:

(d) debt; opposite direction

Explanation:

Bonds or debentures represent fixed interest bearing instruments issued by corporates to raise long term funds i.e usually greater than 1 year repayable after a fixed duration.

Bonds could be of various forms such as zero coupon bonds, deep discount bonds, face value bonds etc

The common aspect of all being bonds represent debt which a corporation owes which must be repaid after a fixed duration. Also bonds demand periodic interest payments i.e fixed obligation which cannot be refused by the issuer company.

There is an inverse relationship between bond prices and market interest rates.

Reason : This is because if a higher interest rate prevails in the market than the coupon rate offered by the issuer, the issuer will have to reduce the price of it's bonds so as to make them attractive else investors would rather invest in other bonds in the market offering a higher rate of return.
