AFT provides helicopter tours of the Grand Canyon. Clients pre-book tours on-line and pay the following fees at the time of booking:

1. a $10 administration fee for processing the booking and potential cancellations,

2. A $20 fee for guaranteeing the reservation and

3. $300 for the helicopter tour itself.

Bookings can be placed as far as one year in advance. If the client cancels the booking more than 2 weeks in advance of the booked tour date, all fees except the administration fee is refundable. If the client cancels the booking within two weeks before the tour date, but before one week of the booked tour date, only the helicopter tour fee is refunded. If client cancels within one week or fails to show up for the scheduled tour, no fees are refunded.

AFT has been in business for several years and can estimate the number of clients that will cancel or not show up for a booked tour. Cost of providing the helicopter tour can also be estimated.

Required:

Discuss the performance obligations AFT has in relation to revenue recognition in the above scenario. When should AFT recognize each of the fees ($10, $20, and $300) as revenue?

**** Only Need answers for questions g and h****

Suppose that, in the absence of insurance, the daily demand for visits to a clinic is given by Qd = 200 – 0.5P, where c is the coinsurance rate and P is the price charged by the clinic.

a) Calculate the quantity demanded when P is $100.

b) Calculate daily revenues when P is $100.

Now assume that customers pay a coinsurance rate, c. You will need to modify the demand function to account for the coinsurance.

c) Calculate the quantity demanded when P is $100 and the coinsurance rate is 0.4.

d) Calculate the daily revenue for the values given in (c).

e) Calculate the quantity demanded when P is $100 and the coinsurance rate is 0.8.

f) Calculate the daily revenue for the values given in (e).

Assume the clinic’s daily capacity is 100 customers.

g) Calculate the price the clinic should set to exactly use its entire capacity when there is no coinsurance (i.e., the co-coverage rate is 1).

h) Calculate the price the clinic should set to exactly use its entire capacity when there is a coinsurance rate of 0.8

WASHINGTON — The House failed on Thursday to advance a constitutional amendment that would require Congress not spend more than the nation collects in revenue. Some conservative lawmakers had hoped a vote on the bill would calm grassroots conservatives who had been fuming about recent high levels of spending. On a mostly party line vote, Republicans failed to advance the bill, 233-184. Normally, legislation requires 218 votes to win approval in the House and can be passed with just Republican votes. The balanced budget amendment, however, required bipartisan support with a two-thirds majority vote because it was a constitutional amendment. Analyze the following situations. The economy goes into a recession. A. What automatically happens to tax revenue and government spending during a recession? (See chapter 27) Why? (Does the budget go into deficit, surplus or stay balanced?) 5 points B. If the balanced budget amendment was in effect, what would the federal government have to do to obtain a balanced budget? 5 points C. What would happen to the recession? Why? (Would the recession improve, get worse or stay the same? 5 points

The Rauzi Company is looking to replace an existing computer system with a new, more efficient system. They feel the new will increase cash flow.

The new system will cost $435,000 today and have a 4 year production life. It will be depreciated using 100% bonus depreciation with an estimated salvage value of $175,000 at the end of its production life. The project will also set aside $15,000 for working capital.

The old computer is currently two years old and had an estimated production life of six years. It originally cost $305,000 and was depreciated using 100% bonus depreciation. It could be sold for $150,000 today and we estimated that if kept, we would sell it for $25,000 at the end of its production life.

The new is estimated to produce revenue of $250,000 per year and have expenses of $75,000 per year (excluding taxes) for its production life. The old was expected to produce revenue of $135,000 per year and have expenses of $85,000 per year (excluding taxes) for its production life.

Rauzi has a 30% tax rate and requires a 20% return on this investment. Use NPV and determine if they should invest. SHOW ALL WORK!
