At a total cost of $20, the number of trips is 190,000. if you use an estimate of the elasticity equal to 2, how many trips will

people take when the fee is $16? (hint: take the percent change in price and multiply it by the elasticity of 2. this is the percent change in quantity. apply this to the 190,000 quantity at a $20 total cost. finally, subtract off this change from the 190,000 quantity.)

<span>An elasticity of 2 means that a 1% increase in price will cause a 2% decrease in demand.
 Change in price in % = (20 - 16) / 20 * 100 = 4/20 * 100 = 20%. So there's a 20% decrease in price (from $20 to $16)
 A 20% decrease in price will result in a 40% increase in demand since elasticity equals 2.
 So 40/ 100 * 190, 000 = 76, 000
 Hence since there's an increase in demand the people will make 190, 000 + 76, 000 = 266, 000</span>

At year-end (December 31), Chan Company estimates its bad debts as 0.70% of its annual credit sales of $862,000. Chan records it
KiRa [710]

Answer: Please see the required journals below:

December 31:

Debit Bad debt expense                                $6,034

Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts       $6,034

February 1:

Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts              $431

Credit Accounts receivables                               $431

June 5:

Debit Cash                                                            $431

Credit Bad debt recovery (income statement)   $431

Explanation: The company estimates its bad debt expense as percentage of sales. In this case 0.7% of its annual sales of $862,000 was deemed as uncollectible, that is, 0.7% x $862,000 = $6,034. The required journals to recognize this bad debt expense is provided above. However, since there was an existing provision, which resides in the allowance account, a write-off would definitely hit that account in order to extinguish the accounts receivable portion. Upon recovery of the write-off, we cannot reinstate the receivable since it was already extinguished but we need to recognize the recovery as a gain.

In the context of changing existing attitudes, when giving attitude-improving feedback to an employee, one should?
NeX [460]

when giving attitude-improving feedback to an employee, one should should deal with descriptions rather than judgements. This allows the person to have a detailed account of his/her attitude.

Judgements will raise critics and bias which will not help improve the attitudes of employees but rather cause stress and also affect their self esteem thereby affecting the work performance and decline in delivery.

On the other hand being descriptive is more optimistic and the employees can easily acknowledge their attitudes and take in account.
