A. pricing strategies to match supply with demand.

Rooms on a cruise ship that are not sold on one trip can't be double booked on the next trip to make up for the lost revenue. For this reason, marketers may offer pricing strategies like a reduced rate closer to the cruise if they still have many rooms that they need to sell.

Answer:

a. Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2018

we must first determine the market price of the bonds:

PV of face value = $2,000,000 / (1 + 5%)²⁰ = $753,778.97 ≈ $753,779

PV of coupon payments = $110,000 x 12.462 (PV annuity factor, 5%, 20 periods) = $1,370,820

market value of the bonds = $753,779 + $1,370,820 = $2,124,599

January 1, 2018, bonds are issued at a premium

Dr Cash 2,124,599

Cr Bonds payable 2,000,000

Cr Premium on bonds payable 124,599

b. Prepare a bond amortization schedule up to and including January 1, 2022

since we are not told which amortization method to use, I will use the straight line method.

Date Interest Cash Premium Carrying

expense paid amortization value

7/2018 $103,770 $110,000 $6,230 $2,118,369

1/2019 $103,770 $110,000 $6,230 $2,112,139

7/2019 $103,770 $110,000 $6,230 $2,105,909

1/2020 $103,770 $110,000 $6,230 $2,099,679

7/2020 $103,770 $110,000 $6,230 $2,093,449

1/2021 $103,770 $110,000 $6,230 $2,087,219

7/2021 $103,770 $110,000 $6,230 $2,080,989

1/2022 $103,770 $110,000 $6,230 $2,074,759

c. Prepare the journal entries to record the interest payments on January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2021.

bond premium amortization per coupon = 124,599 / 20 = $6,229.95 ≈ $6,230

January 1, 2020, coupon payment

Dr Interest expense 103,770

Dr Premium on bonds payable 6,230

Cr Cash 110,000

January 1, 2021, coupon payment

Dr Interest expense 103,770

You buy a stock for which you expect to receive an annual dividend of $2.10 for the fifteen years that you plan on holding it. a

kap26 [50]

<span>You are given an annual dividend of $2.10 for the fifteen years that you plan on holding it. Also, after 15 years, you are given to sell the stock for $32.25. You are asked to find the present value of a share for this company if you want a 10% return. You have to mind that the future stock for 15 years is $32.25. You are not only going to mind the present value of the annuity at $2.10 but also the $32.25.

With the interest of r = 10% and number of years of n = 15, we get
PVIFA = 7.6061.

For annuity we have,
$2.10 * 7.60608 = $15.973

For $32.35 with r = 10% and n = 15
PVIF = 0.239392

Thus for the present value of selling price,
$32.25 * 0.239392 = $7.720

Thus the present value of the share
P = $15.973 + $7.720
P = $23.693

At a specific point on the demand curve for backpacks, the elasticity of demand is calculated to be -0.5.a. At that point, we wo

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Inelastic; 5%; fall; 10%; rise

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is always negative for normal goods. This happens because of the law of demand, that demand falls with rise in price.

Price elasticity between 0 and 1 shows inelastic demand.

This means that there is smaller change in demand due to a greater change in price level.

Price elasticity of demand is -0.5.

If the price falls by 10%, demand will increase by 5%.

The revenue will fall, because of greater fall in price.

If the price increases by 20%, demand will fall by 10%.

Revenue will increase because of greater increase in price.
