Answer:
$7,040 credit
Explanation:
Based on the scenario being described, the journal entry would be a $7,040 credit. This can be calculated by accounting for the desired balance in allowance account which would be the outstanding account receivable times the uncollectable percentage in decimal form (0.06) like so...
$102,000 × 0.06 =$6,120 credit
Finally, 920 is debited to that amount which sums it up to $7,040 credit ($6,120 + 920 )

The estimated residual value of the property is $150,000. During the first year, the company extracted 6,500 tons of ore. The depletion expense is
Answer:
$26,000
Explanation:
Weber company purchases a mining site for $1,750,000
The company is expected to mine ore for a period of 10 years
A total of 400,000 tons is expected to be recovered
The estimated residual value of the property is $150,000
During the first year, the company extracts 6,500 tons
Therefore, the depletion expense can be calculated as follows
Depletion expense= Actual number of tons that was extracted/Total number of tons to be extracted during the working period × (Original cost of the site-residual value)
= 6,500 tons/400,000 tons × ($1,750,000-$150,000)
= 0.01625 × $1,600,000
= $26,000
Hence the depletion expense is $26,000

This morning, Jeff found an aged bond certificate lying on the street. He picked it up and noticed that it was a 50-year bond that matured today. He presented the bond to the bank teller at his local bank and received payment for both the entire principal and the final interest payment.

D) control the desired price and output to maximize profits, but a perfectly competitive firm can only choose the desired output.
Answer:
D) control the desired price and output to maximize profits, but a perfectly competitive firm can only choose the desired output.

Also, a monopolist can choose to lower or increase its output depending on the resulting profits.
This excessive market power is the reason why natural monopolies are usually regulated by the governments and many monopolistic firms are forced to split into smaller firms that compete against each other.
A homeowner decides to rent a spare bedroom in her single-family house to a tenant for $500 per month. When a 24-year-old man asks to see the room, the homeowner refuses, telling him that she will only rent to women over the age of 50.

How much must be deposited at the beginning of each year to accumulate to $10,000 in four years if interest is at 9%
Answer:
Annual deposit= $2,186.69
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value= $10,000
Number of peridos= 4 years
Interest rate= 9% compounded annually
To calculate the annual deposit required, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (10,000*0.09) / [(1.09^4) - 1]
A= $2,186.69
