Answer:

1. the year-end balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts is $6,680.

2. The bad debt for the year is -$2,320.

Explanation:

1. To calculate the year-end balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts:

First we calculate the Account Receivable which is calculated as thus:

==> Account Receivable (ending balance) = accounts receivable (beginning balance) + Credit sales - cash collected - written off accounts receivable.

==> 300,000 + 1,500,000 - 1,450,000 - 16,000 = $334,000

Therefore the account receivable = $334,000.

Estimated percentage of bad debts = 2%

allowance of uncollectible accounts = Account Receivable x Estimated percentage.

==> $334,000 x 2% = $6,680

Hence, the year-end balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts is $6,680.

2. To calculate the bad debt expense for the year, we use:

allowance of uncollectible acountsl (ending balance) - [Allowance of uncollectible account (opening balance) - accounts receivables written off)

==> $6,680 - ($25,000 - $16,000)

= 6,680 - 9,000

= -$2,320

The bad debt for the year is -$2,320. This is incurred when customers pay for an invoice when it has been written off.

Answer:

1. Calculate the year-end balance in the allowance for uncollectible accounts.

allowance for uncollectible accounts balance = $25,000 (beginning balance) - $16,000 (write offs) + $30,000 (credit sales $1,500,000 x 2%) = $39,000

2. Calculate bad debt expense for the year.

bad debt expense = credit sales x 2% = $1,500,000 x 2% = $30,000

Explanation:

to record write offs:

Dr Allowance for uncollectible accounts 16,000

Cr Accounts receivable 16,000

to record bad debt expense:

Dr Bad debt expense 30,000

Cr Allowance for uncollectible accounts 30,000

Suppose Antonio and Caroline are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff ma

ladessa [460]

Answer:

Caroline to choose right

Antonio chooses left and Caroline chooses right.

Explanation:

Interpreting the payoff matrix:

Both choose right:

Antonio receives 3, Caroline receives 7

Both choose left:

Antonio receives 4, Carolina receives 6

Caroline chooses left, Antonio chooses right:

Antonio receives 7, Caroline receives 5

Caroline chooses right, Antonio chooses left:

Antonio receives 6, Caroline receives 8

As we can see, Antonio only has a better payoff then Caroline if she chooses left and he chooses right. Therefore, the dominant strategy is for Caroline to choose right, this way she will always have the greater payoff.

If Antonio chooses right, the outcome may alter depending on the outcome, therefore it is not a Nash Equilibrium. However, if Antonio chooses left, no matter what Caroline chooses, she will have the greater payoff. At the same time, if Caroline chooses right, Antonio cannot change the outcome by changing his strategy. Therefore, the outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Antonio chooses left and Caroline chooses right.

(problem 13). margo's marginal utility of one dance lesson is 100 utils per lesson. her marginal utility of a new pair of dance

kirill115 [55]

Since Margo purchase her optimal consumption bundle, the marginal utility per dollar consumed on dance lessons must be equivalent to the marginal utility per dollar paid on dance shoes. The marginal utility per dollar spent on dance lessons is 100 utils per lesson, where $50 per lesson is equivalent to 2 utils per dollar. The marginal utility per dollar expended on dance shoes therefore has to equal 2 utils per dollar. Since the marginal utility of a pair of dance shoes cost 300 utils per pair, the value of a pair of shoes should be $150 per pair, so that 300 utils per pair/$150 per pair is equal to: 2 utils per dollar.
