Answer:

The answer is $4400.

Step-by-step explanation:

A company has $90,000 in outstanding accounts receivable.

Experience suggests that 4% of outstanding receivables are un collectible.

So, its 4% becomes: $0.04\times90000=3600$ dollars

Now, the current balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts is an $800 credit.

Hence, the final answer is = $3600+800=4400$ dollars

The journal entry to record the adjustment to the allowance account includes a debit to Bad Debts Expense for: $4400.

713.49 written in a standard form

Vikki [24]

Answer: one hundred seven thirteen and forty-nine hundreds

Step-by-step explanation: Standard form is a way of writing down very large or very small numbers easily. 103 = 1000, so 4 × 103 = 4000 . So 4000 can be written as 4 × 10³ . This idea can be used to write even larger numbers down easily in standard form.

What number must we multiply by $-\frac23$ to get a product of $\frac34$?

stich3 [128]

Let x be unknown number. If number x is multiplied by $-\dfrac{2}{3}$ and the product is equal to $\dfrac{3}{4},$ then

$x\cdot \left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)=\dfrac{3}{4}.$

To find x you should divide $\dfrac{3}{4}$ by $-\dfrac{2}{3}:$

$x=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}}{-\dfrac{2}{3}}=\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot \left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)=-\dfrac{3\cdot 3}{4\cdot 2}=-\dfrac{9}{8}.$

Answer: $x=-\dfrac{9}{8}$

Express f(x) = |x-2| +|x+2| in the non-modulus form. Hence, sketch the graph of f.

alexgriva [62]

Recall that

$|x|=\begin{cases}x&\text{if }x\ge0\\-x&\text{if }x$

There are three cases to consider:

(1) When $x+2$ , we have $|x+2|=-(x+2)$ and $|x-2|=-(x-2)$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=-(x-2)-(x+2)=-2x-4$

(2) When $x+2\ge0$ and $x-2$ , we get $|x+2|=x+2$ and $|x-2|=-(x-2)$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=-(x-2)+(x+2)=4$

(3) When $x-2\ge0$ , we have $|x+2|=x+2$ and $|x-2|=x-2$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=(x-2)+(x+2)=2x$

So

$|x-2|+|x+2|=\begin{cases}-2x-4&\text{if }x$

Answer:

I want to answer 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

As for how to solve it I don't really know I would use process of elimination because the answer can't be so high that it's 45% so that's out. Personally I think that 35% is pretty high to so my best educated guess would be between 25% and 15% . Sorry this isn't more helpful.
