Answer:

i) 15 ii) 177

Explanation:

Number of people with business = 60

Number of people with farming = 125

Number of people with government jobs = 45

Number of people with business only = 27

Number of people with government jobs only = 15

10 have business and government job only, 5 have government job and farming only.

i) Let x represent the number of people with all three jobs. Hence:

Number of people with government jobs = number of people with all three jobs + number of people with government and farming job + number of people with government and business + number of people with government job only

45 = x + 10 + 5 + 15

45 = x + 30

x = 15

15 people have all three profession.

ii)

Number of people with business jobs = number of people with all three jobs + number of people with business and farming job + number of people with government and business + number of people with business job only

60 = 15 + number of people with business and farming job + 10 + 27

number of people with business and farming job = 60 - 52 = 8

Number of people with farming jobs = number of people with all three jobs + number of people with business and farming job + number of people with government and farming + number of people with farming job only

125 = 15 + 8 + 5 + number of people with farming job only

number of people with farming job only = 125 - 28 = 97

Number of people surveyed = number of people with all three jobs + number of people with business and farming job + number of people with government and farming + number of people with farming job only + number of people with government and business + number of people with business job only + number of people with government job only

Number of people surveyed = 15 + 8 + 5 + 97 + 10 + 27 + 15

Number of people surveyed = 177

GrogVix [38]

Answer: a. cash register tapes.

Explanation:

When you go to a shop and buy something at the till and the cashier prints a receipt and gives it to you, that paper is a cash register tape.

A cash register tape therefore shows the goods sold and the amount the goods were sold at. It is therefore not used as a method of control for cash disbursement which is cash going out of a business but rather for cash that is coming into the business.

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

(To record write-off of accounts receivable)

Debit Accounts receivable $2,340,000

Credit Sales revenue $2,340,000

(To record credit sales during the year)

Debit Cash $1,910,000

Credit Accounts receivable $1,910,000

(To record collection on account)

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.

Carney Construction purchased a truck for $55,000 on January 1, 2015. The truck had an estimated useful life of 5 years and an e

ddd [48]

Answer:

The amount of depreciation would be recorded in 2016 was $12,000

Explanation:

Under the straight-line method, useful life is 5 years, so the asset's annual depreciation will be 20% of the Depreciable cost.

Depreciable cost = Total cost of the equipment - Residual value = $55,000 - $5,000 = $50,000

Under the double-declining-balance method the 20% straight line rate is doubled to 40% - multiplied times the Depreciable cost's book value at the beginning of the year.

Depreciation expense for 2015 = 40% x $50,000 = $20,000

At the beginning 2016, the Depreciable cost's book value is $50,000-$20,000 = $30,000

Depreciation expense for 2016 = 40% x $30,000 = $12,000
