Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Bad debt expense for 2018 would be:
First step is to calculate the Estimated bad debts
Estimated bad debts= 0.04 × ($218,000 + $22,900)
Estimated bad debts=0.04*$240,900
Estimated bad debts=$9,636
Second step is to calculate the allowance
Allowance = $9,200 - $7,350
Allowance = $1,850
Now let calculate the Bad debt expense
Using this formula
Bad debt expense = Estimated bad debts - Allowance
Let plug in the formula
Bad debt expense =$9,636 -$1,850 Bad debt expense =$7,786
Therefore Bad debt expense for 2018 would be:$7,786

Which one of the following groups of accounts only have debit balances
a. Discount Received, Stock, Purchases Return, Salaries
b. Sales Returns, Wages, Machinery, Discount Allowed
c. Wages Due, Rent, Sales Return, Discount Allowed
d. Salaries Due, Discount Received, Sales Returns, Stock
Answer: b. Sales Returns, Wages, Machinery, Discount Allowed
Explanation:
Sales returns reduce the sales made. Sales are put on the credit side so transactions that will reduce sales such as sales returns would have to go on the debit side.
Wages are an expense and expenses are debited to show they are increasing so they have a debit balance.
Machinery is an asset and assets have debit balances.
Discount allowed reduces the sales balance and as mentioned above, transactions that reduce sales go on the debit side so this has a debit balance as well.

A qualified buyer makes a written offer on a property on March 6 by filling out and signing a purchase offer. Later that day, the seller accepts and signs the offer, keeping one copy. The broker gives a copy of the signed agreement to the buyer on March 8. The seller's deed is delivered on May 1. The deed is recorded on May 7, and the buyer takes possession on May 15. When is the broker's commission payable if this is a usual transaction?
Answer:
May 1
Explanation:
Given that
The written offer was made on March 6
the brokers provides the signed agreement copy to the buyer on March 8
The seller deed delivered on May 1
The deed recorded on may 7
And, the buyer takes the possession on May 15
So here the broker commission payable would be done on the delivery date i.e. on May 1
2-12. How would the compensation system change if the minimum wage provision of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 were repealed?
Answer: Wages would drop in certain industries.
Explanation:
The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 allows for a minimum wage provision and it is based on this that a minimum wage is set at the Federal level.
If this law is repealed, some employers would decrease the wages they pay their employees so that they can make more profits. This might work in certain industries especially ones that require little skill due to the number of people who want jobs in those industries.
It would not work in a lot of other industries and employees would simply stop working if they are offered such low wages based on the perception that their skills deserve more compensation.
Then there are the Unions who would try to protect their members from wage decreases and would therefore push back against the employers.
Bottom-line is that employers might try to reduce the wages but they would only be partly successful.

Economist: Some policymakers believe that our country's continued economic growth requires a higher level of personal savings than we currently have. A recent legislative proposal would allow individuals to set up savings accounts in which interest earned would be exempt from taxes until money is withdrawn from the account. Backers of this proposal claim that its implementation would increase the amount of money available for banks to loan at a relatively small cost to the government in lost tax revenues. Yet, when similar tax incentive programs were tried in the past, virtually all of the money invested through them was diverted from other personal savings, and the overall level of personal savings was unchanged. The author criticizes the proposed tax incentive program by
The options are:
A). Challenging a premise on which the proposal is based.
B). Pointing out a disagreement among policymakers.
C). Demonstrating that the proposal's implementation is not feasible.
D). Questioning the judgment of the proposal's backers by citing past cases in which they had advocated programs that have proved ineffective.
E). Disputing the assumption that a program to encourage personal savings is needed.
Answer:
A). Challenging a premise on which the proposal is based.
Explanation:
The author critiques the suggested program of tax incentives by 'questioning the very premise on which the suggestion is based.' In the given proposal, the claim is based on the premise that if people are exempted from paying taxes on their savings accounts, they will be encouraged for saving more money. However, the author rebuts this premise by displaying the failure of such programs previously where people just attempted to redirect their money in order to get them into the tax-exempted accounts instead of saving more. Thus, the percentage of money saved by people remained unaltered. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
what is a benefit of obtaining a personal loan?
Answer:
you earn a large amount of money to get use immediately, only $3.99/mouth.
A benefit of obtaining a personal loan is the flexibility it offers in usage, along with fixed interest rates and repayment terms, helping individuals manage their finances effectively while potentially building their credit history.
One significant benefit of obtaining a personal loan is the flexibility it offers in terms of usage. Unlike specialized loans, such as car loans or home loans that are tied to a specific purpose, personal loans can be used for a wide range of expenses, such as consolidating high-interest debts, funding a wedding, covering medical bills, or making home improvements. This flexibility allows individuals to address their unique financial needs without restrictions.
Additionally, personal loans often have fixed interest rates and fixed repayment terms, which means borrowers can plan their budgets more effectively and have a clear timeline for paying off the loan. This stability can help individuals manage their finances better, as they know exactly how much they need to repay each month.
Moreover, personal loans can also be a useful tool for building credit history. By making timely payments on a personal loan, individuals can demonstrate their responsible borrowing behavior, which can improve their credit score over time. A good credit score opens doors to better loan options and favorable interest rates in the future.
In summary, a benefit of obtaining a personal loan is the flexibility it offers in usage, along with fixed interest rates and repayment terms, helping individuals manage their finances effectively while potentially building their credit history.

Answer:
C. modify their products and services to meet the needs and interests of local cultures
Explanation:
Globalization is a phenomenon that enables companies to generate increased profitability and conquer new markets by implementing their businesses in other countries. Therefore, a company that wants to go global through e-commerce needs to modify its products and services to meet the needs and interests of local cultures, as entering an international market requires planning and structuring organizational processes that take into account that each country has their social and cultural particularities, their tastes and needs that are different from each other, which requires an adaptation of a company's products and services, so that they are well accepted and meet the specific needs of that market.
It is then necessary to research, plan and implement a global business strategy that takes local differences into account and includes them in its processes and values.
