In the balance sheet at the end of its first year of operations, Dinty Inc. reported an allowance for uncollectible accounts of
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The correct option is 2. $50,200

Explanation:

Please see below the required journals for the transactions that occurred:

Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts             $31,800

Credit Accounts receivable                                $31,800

(<em>To record write-off of accounts receivable)</em>

Debit Accounts receivable                           $2,340,000

Credit Sales revenue                                    $2,340,000

<em>(To record credit sales during the year)</em>

Debit Cash                                                      $1,910,000

Credit Accounts receivable                           $1,910,000

<em>(To record collection on account)</em>

  • The effect of the above journals on allowance for doubtful account is a reduction. Since Dinty already assessed its allowance for doubtful account to be $82,000, bad debt expense required will be $50,200 ($82,000 - $31,800).
  • The balance in accounts receivable will be $2,340,000 - $1,910,000 - $31,800 = $398,200.

What factors will determine the sizes of the​ shortages? The extent of the excess demand implied by the shortages will depend on
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The answer is: C) the elasticity of​ demand, where the shortages will be larger if demand is more inelastic.

Explanation:

When the demand for a product is completely inelastic it means that the quantity demanded for that product will be the same whether its price increases or decreases. Rarely any product is completely inelastic, but inelasticity shows a tendency of buyers to keep buying a product even if its price rises, for example gasoline.

Inelastic products don´t follow the law of supply and demand, since the price doesn´t alter the demand.

If suppliers can produce enough goods (product shortages) and the quantity demanded stays the same, the price will rise. But if the demand for the product is inelastic then the shortage will get worse since every time more people will want to buy the product and their will be less product to buy.
