The Triquel Theater Inc. was recently formed. It began operations in March 2017. The Triquel is unique in that it will show only triple features of sequential theme movies. On March 1, the ledger of The Triquel showed Cash $18,800; Land $40,800; Buildings (concession stand, projection room, ticket booth, and screen) $22,000; Equipment $16,000; Accounts Payable $14,800; and Common Stock $82,800. During the month of March, the following events and transactions occurred:

Mar. 2 Rented the first three Star Wars movies (Star Wars®, The Empire Strikes Back, and The Return of the Jedi) to be shown for the first three weeks of March. The film rental was $9,600; $1,100 was paid in cash and $8,500 will be paid on March 10.
3 Ordered the first three Star Trek movies to be shown the last 10 days of March. It will cost $500 per night.
9 Received $10,400 cash from admissions.
10 Paid balance due on Star Wars movies' rental and $2,900 on March 1 accounts payable.
11 The Triquel Theater contracted with R. Lazlo to operate the concession stand. Lazlo agrees to pay The Triquel 15% of gross receipts, payable monthly, for the rental of the concession stand.
12 Paid advertising expenses $600.
20 Received $7,900 cash from customers for admissions.
20 Received the Star Trek movies and paid rental fee of $5,700.
31 Paid salaries of $3,700.
31 Received statement from R. Lazlo showing gross receipts from concessions of $10,200 and the balance due to The Triquel of $1,530 ($10,200 × .15) for March. Lazlo paid half the balance due and will remit the remainder on April 5.

Received $19,800 cash from customers for admissions.

I must do the 4 following things: Using T-accounts, enter the beginning balances to the ledger. Journalize the March transactions. The Triquel records admission revenue as service revenue, concession revenue as sales revenue, and film rental expense as rent expense. Post the March journal entries to the ledger .Prepare a trial balance on March 31, 2017.

The El Dorado Star is the only newspaper in El Dorado, New Mexico. Certainly, the Star competes with The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and the New York Times for national news reporting, but the Star offers readers stories of local interest, such as local news, weather, high-school sporting events, and so on. The El Dorado Star faces the revenue and cost schedules shown in the spreadsheet that follows: A template for the spreadsheet is provided in the Course Materials. You may download my template or create your own. Since we are using dollars and cents, be sure to go out two decimal places on your calculations. Add columns to show, respectively, marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), and total profit

What price should the manager of the EI Dorado Star charge? How many papers should be sold daily to maximize profit?

At the price and output level you answered in the previous question, is the EI Dorado Star making the greatest possible amount of total revenue? Is this what you expected? Explain why or why not.

Use the appropriate formulas to create two new columns (7 and 8) for total profit and profit margin, respectively. What is the maximum profit the EI Dorado Star can earn? What is the maximum possible profit margin? Are profit and profit margin maximized at the same point on demand?

What is the total fixed cost for the El Dorado Star? Explain how you arrived at this conclusion.

Create a new spreadsheet in which total fixed cost increases to $5,000. What price should the manager charge? How many papers should be sold in the short run?

   PX = $9500   PY = $10000   I = $15000   A = $170000   W = 160
This function is:
       Qs = 89830 -40PS +20PX +15PY +2I +.001A +10W

1. Use the above to calculate the arc price elasticity of demand between PS = $8000 and PS = $7000. The arc elasticity formula is:
Ep= Q/P8 * P1+P1/Q1+Q2

  
2. Calculate the quantity demanded at each of the above prices and revenue that will result if the quantity is sold (fill in table below).  
PS     QS   Revenue
$8000      
$7000      

3.   Marketing suggests lowering the price PS from $8000 to $7000. The size of the elasticity coefficient in #1 should tell you what is likely to happen to revenue. Explain why this is (or is not) a good marketing suggestion from a revenue viewpoint (note: your answer in #1 and the calculations in #2 should be giving the same message). If the implications in #1 and #2 differ, does the difference make sense (or did you make a mistake in #1 or #2)?

4.   Calculate the point price elasticity of demand for Smooth Sailing boats at PS = $8000 (which should make QS = 141600). Does this elasticity value indicate that demand for Smooth Sailing boats is relatively elastic? Explain why or why not. The formula is:
Qs/Px *Ps/Qs

5.   Calculate the point cross-price elasticity of demand between Qs and Px with Px = $9500. Use Qs corresponding to Ps = 8000. Other variables and their values are as given at the top, before question #1. Does this elasticity indicate that the demand for Smooth Sailing’s boats is relatively responsive to changes in Px? Explain why or why not. The formula is:

Esx= QS/Px*Px/Qs

6. Calculate the point cross-price elasticity of demand between QS and Py, given that Py = 10000 and that PS = $7500 (thus QS should equal 161,600). Other variables are as given at the top before #1. Does this elasticity indicate that the demand for Smooth Sailing boats is relatively responsive to changes in Py? Explain why or why not. The formula is:
Esy= Qs/Py *Py/Qs
