Answer:

A good without any good substitutes is likely to have a relatively low elasticity of demand. Low elasticity of demand means that consumers cannot replace the good with substitutes when the price goes up.

The yacht is likely to have the more elastic demand because it is a luxury good that people can easily forgo in case they do not have enough income. An amputation procedure for a diabetic on the other hand, is a medical issue that is will have an extremely inelastic demand. In other words, patients will pay any necessary amount for the procedure, because it is vital for their lives.

Food as a whole will be the least elastic because people cannot go without food, and it is one of the most basic necessities that need to be covered.

Vegetables will be in between. They are one essential food group, but they could be replaced in some cases.

Red bell peppers is the most elastic good because it is akin to a luxury good in the sense that is not objectively necessary to consume for anything other than flavor, and as a spice, it has many close substitutes.

The demand for natural gas will tend to be less elastic in the short run than in the long run. In the short-run, people will have to continue buying natural gas even if the price rises, but in the long-run, many people will opt for other alternatives like electric cars.

Charter Corporation, which began business in 2013, appropriately uses the installment sales method of accounting for its install

Doss [256]

Answer:

a. Charter should recognize $80,000 as gross profit in 2013; and Charter should recognize $92,500 as gross profit in 2014.

b. The balance in the deferred gross profit account at the end of 2013 should be $105,000; and the balance in the deferred gross profit account at the end of 2014 should be $120,500.

Explanation:

Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. Kindly see the attached pdf file for the represented complete question with the sorted data.

The explanation to the answers is now given as follows:

Installment sales method can be described as a revenue recognition technique where a business postpone profit on a sale until when the cash is received from the buyer. A proportion of the profit based on gross profit percentage is then recorded as a profit for the period when the cash is received from the buyer.

This method can be applied to this question as follows:

Gross profit in 2013 = Installment sales in 2013 - Cost of installment sales in 2013 = $370,000 - $185,000 = $185,000

Gross profit percentage in 2013 = (Gross profit in 2013 / Installment sales in 2013) * 100 = ($185,000 / $370,000) * 100 = 0.50 * 100 = 50%

Gross profit in 2014 = Installment sales in 2014 - Cost of installment sales in 2014 = $360,000 - $252,000 = $108,000

Gross profit percentage in 2014 = (Gross profit in 2014 / Installment sales in 2014) * 100 = ($108,000 / $360,000) * 100 = 0.30 * 100 = 30%

a. How much gross profit should Charter recognize in 2013 and 2014 from installment sales?

Gross to recognize in 2013:

Gross recognized in 2013 in respect of 2013 instalment sales = Cash collections in 2013 on installment sales during 2013 * Gross profit percentage in 2013 = $160,000 * 50% = $80,000

Therefore, Charter should recognize $80,000 as gross profit in 2013.

Gross to recognize in 2014:

Gross recognized in 2014 in respect of 2013 instalment sales = Cash collections in 2014 on installment sales during 2013 * Gross profit percentage in 2013 = $110,000 * 50% = $55,000

Gross recognized in 2014 in respect of 2014 instalment sales = Cash collections in 2014 on installment sales during 2014 * Gross profit percentage in 2014 = $125,000 * 30% = $37,500

Total gross profit to recognize in 2014 = Gross recognized in 2014 in respect of 2013 instalment sales + Gross recognized in 2014 in respect of 2014 instalment sales = $55,000 + $37,500 = $92,500

Therefore, Charter should recognize $92,500 as gross profit in 2015.

b. What should be the balance in the deferred gross profit account at the end of 2013 and 2014?

For 2013:

Balance in the deferred gross profit in respect of 2013 account at the end of 2013 = Gross profit in 2013 - Gross recognized in 2013 in respect of 2013 installment sales = $185,000 - $80,000 = $105,000

Therefore, the balance in the deferred gross profit account at the end of 2013 should be $105,000.

For 2014:

Balance in the deferred gross profit account in respect of 2013 at the end of 2014 = Balance in the deferred gross profit in respect of 2013 account at the end of 2013 - Gross recognized in 2014 in respect of 2013 installment sales = $105,000 - $55,000 = $50,000

Balance in the deferred gross profit in respect of 2014 account at the end of 2014 = Gross profit in 2014 - Gross recognised in 2014 in respect of 2014 installment sales = $108,000 - $37,500 = $70,500

Total balance in the deferred gross profit account at the end of 2013 = Balance in the deferred gross profit account in respect of 2013 at the end of 2014 + Balance in the deferred gross profit in respect of 2014 account at the end of 2014 = $50,000 + $70,500 = $120,500

Therefore, the balance in the deferred gross profit account at the end of 2014 should be $120,500.
