Answer:
No, because the second method has lower total costs of production.
Explanation:
In a bid to make profits businesses must always compare different processes and choose the cheapest one.
This will eventually reflect in the profitability of the business.
In this instance let's get the cost of each process.
Fabric costs $110 a bolt and labor costs $20 an hour. 
The first dress maker can sew 400 garments with 100 bolts of fabric and 1,500 hours of labour
Total cost = (100 bolts * 110) + (1500 * 20)
Total cost = $41,000
For the second dress maker he can sew 400 garments with 150 bolts of fabric and 1,000 hours of identical labour
Total cost = (150 *110) + (1000 * 20)
Total cost = $36,500
As can be seen the second dressmaker has a lower cost of production so he is more efficient than the first dress maker
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The correct answers are $40,000 and $13,500
Explanation:
The implicit cost of the business is $40,000 nothing for the entrepreneur's time plus $13,500 nothing for the entrepreneur's funds (enter your response as an integer)
The implicit cost indicates the cost of an asset rather than selling it or renting it out. In other words, the company has to give up by deciding not to exploit an asset. For this case $40,000
For the other line
15% = 0.15
$90,000 x 15% = $13,500
