Answer:

the bond's price elasticity = - 0.67

Explanation:

present bond value = $1100

previous bond value = $900

change in bond value = $1100 - $900 = $200

present bond percentage = 8%

previous bond percentage = 12%

% change in bond value = 8% - 12% = - 4%

Bond price elasticity = \frac{change  in bond value}{previous bond value}/\frac{change in percentage}{previous percentage}

                                  = \frac{200}{900} / \frac{-4}{12}

                                  = \frac{2}{9} * -3

                                  = - 0.67

Johnson Company calculates its allowance for uncollectible accounts as 10% of its ending balance in gross accounts receivable. T
Margaret [11]

Answer:

<em>Incomplete question is "2. What journal entry should Johnson record to recognize bad debt expense for 2021? 3. Assume Johnson made no other adjustment of the allowance for uncollectible accounts during 2021. Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021 4. If Johnson instead used the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2021?"</em>

1. Gross accounts Receivable = Allowance Account balance at beginning / 10%

= $30,000 / 10%

= $300,000

2.     Year   Account Title                              Debit     Credit

       2021  Bad debt expense                   $105,000

                  ($500,000*10% + $55,000)  

                         To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts   $105,000

3.  Accounts receivable written off = Beginning balance of Allowance Account - Ending Balance of Allowance account

= $30,000 - (- $50,000)

= $30,000 + $50,000

= $80,000

4. Bad debt expense for 2021 (direct write off method) = Amount written off = $80,000

Granite State Airlines serves the route between New York and Portsmouth, NH, with a single-flight-daily 100-seat aircraft. The o
TEA [102]

Answer:

Given data: One flight with total seats = 100

Full fare passengers, cost per ticket=$150, mean=56 passengers, SD=23

Discount fare passengers, cost per ticket=$100, mean=88 passengers, SD=44

(a) Here, though there is a hint to use the CDF, since the confidence interval is not given we will make some simplying assumptions that will reduce the complexity of the question, of course keeping the question statistically correct.

this question wants us to maximize total revenue per flight (one way), we can do that by taking only full fare passengers or total revenue will be 150*100=$15,000, but since historical probability shows a mean of 56 with a standard deviation of 23, we can assume in best case scenario total full fare ticket passengers will be 56+23=79, leaving 21 tickets for discount passenger, in this case the total revenues will be 79*150+21*100=$13,950

(b) Now, the new constrained policy is giving a clear cut number of seats to each category of pasengers, 44 for discount (total revenues 44*100) and 56 for full fare (total revenues 56*150) both of which are within the probabilities given earlier (full fare mean=56, discount mean=88). Total revenues in case will be 44*100+56*150=$12,800.

(c) Gain is the difference of the excess revenues in both cases of optimal total revenues and limited seats policy or answer (a) - answer (b) = $13,950- $12,800=$1,150

(d) Realistically speaking, there is no answer for this question without a clear cut confidence interval. Another simplifying assumption we can make here is taking the mean passengers as expected bookings (can be tweaked once confidence interval or degree of significance is given). so total revenues in this case will be 44*100 from discount and 56*150 from full fare passengers. That is still similar to answer (c) due to our assumption/lack of constraints, so our optimal booking will be 54 full fare tickets and 44 discount passenger tickets. You can also take worst case scenario by subtracting SD of each passenger type from the mean or go the best case scenario in which SD of full fare will be added to the mean while the pending seats (left over from 100) will be the total to discount fare for optimal revenue collection.

James owns a vacant property. By law, he can build the following building types, which generate a return on investment as listed
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Office building

Explanation:

The formula to compute the return on investment is shown below:

Return on investment = Operating Income ÷ Average Operating Assets

It is a mix of operating income and the average operating assets through the return on investment could be computed

Since the return on investment is already given in the question

And, the higher return on investment is the best one for property use

So the office building has a higher return on investment i.e 13.5% which reflects the best for property usage.
