Answer: b. The instrument is correlated with x1.

d. The instrument does not directly influence y, except through x1.

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the necessary characteristics of a suitable instrument include:

• The instrument is correlated with x1.

• The instrument does not directly influence y, except through x1.

Some of the criteria for an instrument variable are the fact that it should have a causal effect on independent variable and also the dependent variable isn't directly affected except through the independent variable which is x1 in this scenario.

Therefore, the correct option are B and D.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The computation is shown below:

Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

a. Account payable $70,000

           To Notes payable $70,000

(Being the issuance of the note is recorded)

b. Note payable $70,000

  Interest expense $1,575

              To Cash $71,575

(Being the payment of the note at maturity date including interest is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

= $70,000 × 9% × 90 days ÷ 360 days

= $1,575

We assume 360 days in a year

Now the effects on the accounts and the financing statement for issuance of the note is shown below:

Balance sheet

Assets          =   Liabilities   + Stockholder equity    Income statement  cash flow statement

No effect = Account payable - $52,000 + No effect  No effect + no effect

                   Note payable + $52,000

Fiesta28 [93]

= Estimated balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts + debit balance

= $16,400 + $4,000

= $20,400

b. Adjusted balances

For account receivable

= $420,000

For allowance for doubtful debts

= Estimated amount

= $16,400

For bad debts

= AMount of adjusting entry

= $20,400

c. Net realizable value

= Account receivable balance - estimated balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

= $420,000 - $16,400

= $403,600
