To create market stability.
Answer:
2.77
the bus company should decrease price to increase revenues.
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
percentage change in price = 1.21 / 0.99 - 1 = 0.222 = 22%
Percentage change in quantity demanded = 169 / 433 = -0.6097 = - 60.97%
Elasticity of demand = 60.97% / 22% = 2.77
Demand is elastic, so if price in reduced, there would be a rise in quantity demanded that would exceed the rise in price. This would increase revenues
Answer: Cost of Goods sold
Explanation:
Common size analysis refers to making all entries in the income statement, a percentage of sales for that year.
Current Year Prior Year
Sales 100% 100%
Cost of Goods sold 75.7% 46.5%
Gross Profit 24.3% 53.5%
Operating expenses 17.3% 35%
Net Income 7.0% 18.5%
<em>Looking at the percentages above, one can see that the COGS increased the most from the previous year by going from 46.5% to 75.7% representing an increase of 29.2%.</em>
<em>This had the most impact on Net income as it substantially reduced Gross profit. </em>
Answer:
August 2 Notes Receivable 8000 Dr
Accounts Receivable- Ryan 8000 Cr
October 30 Interest receivable 220 Dr
Interest Revenue 220 Cr
October 31 Cash 8220 Dr
Notes Receivable 8000 Cr
Interest Receivable 220 Cr
Explanation:
When we receive the Note against the Accounts Receivable, we will credit the Accounts Receivable to close the account of Ryan and create a new current asset account of Notes Receivable on August 2.
On October 30, 90 days period of Note is complete so we will record the interest that is receivable for us on this note.
- Interest Receivable = 8000 * 11% * 90/360 = $220
We record this as Interest Receivable as we have not received this and credit Interest revenue as it is our income.
On 31 October, when we receive cash it will be total of Notes payable and Interest so we will debit cash by 8220 and credit the Notes payable and interest receivable.
