Imagine yourself as the accountant of Chong 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. [8 marks]

The list price of a carriage ride is $100 per hour. The company estimates that approximately 30% of the coupons will be redeemed.
Required:
Prepare the journal entry to recognize the sale of 10 new subscriptions, clearly identifying the revenue or unearned revenue associated with each performance obligation.

An employee of a small software company in Minneapolis bikes to
work during the summer months. He can travel to work using one of
three routes and wonders whether the average commute times (in
minutes) differ between the three routes. He obtains the following

a-2. At the 5% significance level, do the average commute times differ significantly between the three routes. Assume that commute times are normally distributed.
Yes, since the p-value is less than significance level.
Yes, since the p-value is not less than significance level.
No, since the p-value is less than significance level.
No, since the p-value is not less than significance level.
b. Use Tukey’s HSD method at the 5%

Assume that a bus company increased costs and fears that it will
make a loss. What should it do, if to rise the fares may be a wrong
policy.
To help it decide what to do it commissions a survey to estimate
passenger demand at three different fares: the current face of 10c
per km, a higher fare of 12c per km, and a lower fare of 8c. The
results of the survey are shown in the first two columns:
| Fares | Estimated Demand | Total Revenue | Old total cost | New total cost | ||||
| 8 | 6 | 480000 | 360000 | 440000 | ||||
| 10 | 4 | 400000 | 360000 | 440000 | ||||
| 12 | 3 | 360000 | 360000 | 440000 | ||||
Demand turns to be elastic. TR can be increased by reducing the price from current 10 to 8$.
What will happen to the company profits? Its profit is the difference between the total revenue from passengers and its total costs of operating the service. If buses are currently under-utilised , then is possible that the extra passengers can be carried without the need for extra buses with no extra cost..
At the fare of 10c , old profit was 40000. After the rase, a 10c now gives a loss of 40.000$. By raising the fare to 12c- loss increased to 80000$.
Questions:
1) Estimate the price elasticity of demand between 8c and 10c and between 10c and 12c. Show all detailed calculations.
2) 10c fare the best fare originally? Explain your answer detailed.
3) If the company considers lowering the fare to 6c and estimates the demand will be 8.5 million passenger km. What is your opinion, it is good idea? How should it decide?

2) 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?
