Answer:

Does not have the ability to control the price of the product it sells

Explanation:

A price taker is a firm that doesn't have the ability to control the price of the product they sell.

A perfectly competitive market is characterised by

1) presence of large number of buyers and sellers.

2) There is free entry and exit.

3) Sellers sell homogenous product, that is, identical product.

Step 2: 5,890 - 1,040 expired portion = 4,850 unexpired portion

The blaance should be 4,850

In this Case: It is giving us the begining balance, and then it proceeds to tell us the ammount expired, which means the adjusting entry. So the diference will be the ending balance

PART C

Answer:

rent expense 4,000 debit

prepaid rent 4,000 credit

Explanation:

C.- PrepaidRent. On September 1 of the current year, the company prepaid $24,000 for 2 years of rent for facilities being occupied that day. The company debited Prepaid Rent and credited Cash for $24,000.

Step 1 Current balance is 24,000

In this Case: It is giving us the begining balance, and then it proceeds to tell us information about the contract, which means we are going to work to get the expired portion and with that calculate the ending balance like on part B

Step 2 We are at December 31th the expired portion will be 4 months (September, October, November and December) so:

24,000

----------------------------- x 4 months expired = 4,000 expired portion

24 month of contract

24,000 - 4,000 = 20,000

begining - expired = ending AKA "unexpired"

The balance should be equal to 20,000

Step 3: the adjusting entry should be done for 4,000 which is the expired portion of the rent.

rent expense 4,000 debit

prepaid rent 4,000 credit
