  1. Two types of customers make up the market for Armoyas. There are 100 type A customers, each of whom is willing to pay up to $10 for an Armoya. There are 50 type B customers, each willing to pay up to $8 for an Armoya. No customer wishes to buy more than a single Armoya. The monopolist cannot differentiate between the types of customer. The average and marginal cost of production is constant at $6/Armoya.

a)What is the selling price of the good, and how much profit does the monopolist make?

b) The monopolist is offered the opportunity to advertise Armoyas at a cost of $80. The advertisement is predicted to attract another 100 type B customers. Will the advertisement be placed? What is the selling price of the good, and how much profit does the monopolist make?

c) Suppose the advertisement attracts no new customers, but raises the price all existing customers are willing to pay by $1. Will the advertisement be placed? What is the selling price of the good, and how much profit does the monopolist make?

Imagine yourself as the accountant of Chonng Berhad.

Imagine yourself as the accountant of Chonng Berhad. Your managing director has approached you regarding some issues about contract. His doubt included:- (i) A modification to existing contract should be treated as a separate contact. (ii) If the agreed date of payment by a customer is later than the date on which services are transferred to that customer, part of the consideration should be treated as interest and not revenue. (iii) If a contract with customer provided warranty after service, the warranty represents a separate performance obligation, thus part of transaction price should be allocated for warranty.

Required: - In accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS) 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, discuss the above issues.
