Answer

Price elasticiy of demand for business travelers: -0.16

Price elasticity of demand for vacationers: -0.29

Explanation:

To find the price elasticy of demand (PED) using the midpoint method, we use the following formula:

$PED = \frac{(Q2-Q1)/[(Q2+Q1)/2]}{(P2-P1)/[(P2+P1/2]}$

Where Q2 and P2 are the new quantity demanded and new price respectively, and Q1 and P1 are the old quantity demanded and price.

Plugging the amounts into the formula we obtain the results of the answer.

Because both results are in absolute value less than one (0.16 and 0.29), we can say that the PED of tickets, for both vacationers and Business traveleres, is relatively inelastic. (Demand falls less in proportion to the change in price).

At the end of the current year, Accounts Receivable has a balance of $590,000; Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a debit balan

denpristay [2]

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of uncollectible accounts and Journal entry is shown below:-

Bad Debt expenses Dr, $6,650

($2,660,000 × 1 ÷ 4× 1%)

To Allowance for doubtful accounts $6,650

(Being uncollectible accounts is recorded)

b. The computation of Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, and Bad Debt Expense is shown below:-

Accounts receivable = $590,000

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = (Sales of the year × 1 ÷ 4 × 1%) - Credit balance

= ($2,660,000 × 1 ÷ 4 × 1%) - $5,500

= $6,650 - $5,500

= $1,150

Bad debt expenses = Sales of the year × 1 ÷ 4 × 1%

= $2,660,000 × 1 ÷ 4 × 1%

= $6,650

c. The computation of net realizable value of accounts receivable is shown below:-

Net realizable value = Accounts receivable - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

= $590,000 - $1,150

= $588,850
