Suppose an ocean-front hotel rents rooms. In the winter, demand is:
P1 = 110 - 1Q1
with marginal revenue of:
MR1 = 110 - 2Q1
However, in the summer, demand is:
P2 = 260 - 1Q2
with marginal revenue of::
MR2 = 260 - 2Q2
Furthermore, suppose the hotel's marginal cost of providing rooms is MC= 5 + 1Q which is increasing in Q due to capacity constraints.
Suppose the hotel engages in peak-load pricing. During the winter, the profit-maximizing price is $_______ and theprofit-maxizing quantity is _______ rooms.
During the summer, the profit-maximizing price is $______ and the profit-maximizing quantity is _______.
The marginal cost of production is higher during the _______ (Summer/Winter) during which time the hotel charges a _______ ( Higher/ Lower) price.

Required:
1) Prepare a schedule by project, showing clearly the amount of gross profit (loss) of the project before deducting selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended 31 December 2020 using the percentage-of-completion method.(based on estimated costs.)
2)Based on the schedule, show the amount of gross profit ( or loss) before selling, general,and administrative expenses for the year ended 31 December 2020, which would be reported if the following method are used:
(I) the cost-recovery method.
(II) The percentage-of-completion method ( based on estimated costs)
3) Determine the construction in process balance that would appear in the statement of financial position of the company as at 31/12/2020 for the project AA, assuming that the precentage-of-completion method is used. show all the working.

A movie theater is planning to offer the possibility to book the seats either online or at the kiosk of the theater. Design the booking application for the theater taking in account the following consideration:
- The theater has 100 seats only.
- More than one user may be trying to book the same seat at the same time.
- Any seat can be booked by only one user.
- A seat can be available for the kiosk agent and the online user at the same time but can be booked by only one of them.
- If the client did not book a seat online or changed his/her mind at the kiosk, the seat must be available again for booking.
Use the process synchronization techniques. You are allowed to use variables as much as you need in the design.
The code does not have to be complicated or detailed. Thanks for the help!

Assume you are the RM for a newly opened theme park in a major southwestern city. Your guests will consist primarily of families visiting the park, as well as schoolchildren on field trips and church youth groups. Yours is the only such park within 150 miles. Identify at least five non-cost factors you would want to consider as you determine the prices that will be charged for the menu items you will sell. Explain why you selected each factor chosen.

A Bacon Factory is located in a small town. Also in the town is a Water Park. The smell of the Bacon factory has adversely affected the Water Park such that it has put in air cleaning equipment to eradicate the odor created by the factory.
The cost function of the Bacon Factory is: CBF= B2 + 4B1/2 + (1 − x)2
where B denotes the quantity of bacon produced annually and x denotes the quantity of pollutants that A creates in a given year.
Thus, the Bacon Factory can limit production costs by eliminating its air scrubbers. However, the air pollution increases the costs for the water park W, whose cost function is: CWP = W2 + 2x where W denotes the number of visitors to the Water Park on an annual basis. Suppose that the unit price of admission to the water park is $3 and that the unit price of bacon is $32.5 per unit.
1. Compute the profit maximizing visits (represented by W) created by Firm W (assuming W behaves competitively in the output market). Notice that W does not choose x. Also, compute W’s profits.
2. Suppose now that the two firms B and W merge, creating B&W. The management of B&W now maximizes B&W’s profits by appropriately choosing x, B, and W. Find the quantities of Bacon, Water Park Visits, and pollutants that the new firm produces. Also, find the profits of B&W.

Wildhorse Construction is constructing an office building under
contract for Cannon Company and uses the percentage-of-completion
method. The contract calls for progress billings and payments of
$1600000 each quarter. The total contract price is $19194000 and
Wildhorse estimates total costs of $18200000. Wildhorse estimates
that the building will take 3 years to complete, and commences
construction on January 2, 2018.
At December 31, 2019, Wildhorse Construction estimates that it is
70% complete with the building; however, the estimate of total
costs to be incurred has risen to $18450000 due to unanticipated
price increases. What is reported in the balance sheet at December
31, 2019 for Wildhorse as the difference between the Construction
