help with formula for bolding font

I need a calcualtion formula that will result in the bolding of a cell.

If cell A1 is less than half the amount of cell B1 then bold cell B1.

example

A1 = 50 B1= 110 = Bold B1

A1 = 50 B1 = 100 = nothing

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

perfect thanks. Although I realized why questions was incorrect shortly
after I implemented the solution. What if I needed to bold a separate cell
that has no numerical significances to the values of the cells that the
formula is reading.

Example:

If cell B1 is less than half of Cell C1 then bold Cell A1.

Sorry for the miscommunication.
