Answer:

d. Need more information.

Explanation:

Demand elasticity is a microeconomic concept that aims to measure the sensitivity of demand in the face of price changes.

When calculated, elasticity reaches values that signal consumers' response to price. If elasticity is a value between 0 and 1, then demand is inelastic - little sensitive to price changes. If demand is greater than 1, this means elastic - very sensitive to price changes.

The numbers presented by the question show a highly elastic demand for theater ticket prices in both cases, especially in the afternoon shift. Thus, the theater could lower the price of both, because in elastic demands, a negative variation in price will increase the demand. However, this is not enough to calculate profit maximization since the profit calculation formula also involves costs, which are not described in the question.

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

$359,000

Explanation:

Total Bond issue costs  can be calculated by adding all the cost related to the issue of bond.

Bond Certificate printing cost        =    $24,000

Legal fees paid                                =    $90,000

CPA registration                               =    $15,000

Underwriting Commission                =   $230,000

Total Bond issue costs                      =   $359,000

After adding all the cost we reached at 359,000 and its closest to Option A 360,000

Goryan [66]

Solution:

S1  $180,000 is allocated 70% to S2 or $126,000 ( 0.7 * 180,000 )

S2  total is $162,000 + $126,000 = $288,000

S2  $126,000 is allocated 19.7% to P2 or $81000

Under the step-method of cost allocation,

the amount of costs allocated from $2 to P2 would be $81000

Andrea Apple opened Apple Photography on January 1 of the current year. During January, the following transactions occurred and
Tamiku [17]

Answer: D. $40,175

Explanation:

The balance in the Capital account reported on the Statement of Owner's Equity will include the Capital contributions of Andrea Apple to the business as well as the Net income from operations also known as Retained Earnings.

The Net Income for the month will be revenue less expenses.

Revenue

$5,700 cash and $2,750 on account for services provided in January.

Revenue is therefore,

= 5,700 + 2,750

= $8,450

Expenses

Expenses include the rent paid of $1,500 and the $275 paid for January Utilities.

= 1,500 + 275

= $1,775

Net Income = Revenue - Expenses

Net Income = 8,450 - 1,775

Net Income = $6,675

The Capital that Mr. Apple brought into the business refers to anything he contributed to the business whether in cash or otherwise.

The Capital therefore is,

- The $13,500 cash and the $20,000 worth of equipment.

The Capital Mr. Apple brought into the business is therefore,

= 13,500 + 20,000

= $33,500

The balance on the capital account will therefore be,

= Capital + Net Income

= 33,500 + 6,675

= $40,175

Option D. is correct.
