Answer:
These statements are correct:
- It makes it easier to compare prices across Europe - the Euro is the common curriency across 19 countries, but prices in those countries are far from being the same. For example, Germany is a lot more expensive than Greece (although a lot wealthier too), and Greek people can easily find out that the same product in Germany costs more euros than in Greece.
- It makes Europe an optimal currency area - in the Eurozone, economic efficiency is now higher because resources can be allocated across different countries thanks to the fact that prices can be compared in the region.
Answer:
economic rent of $65,000
Explanation:
Economic rent is the amount of money paid in excess to a factor of production in excess of what is socially optimum
Economic rent = $150,000 - $85,000 = $65,000
Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost
Total revenue =price x quantity sold
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business. They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives
Without the regulation, economic profit would be driven to zero.
Answer:
b. $51,500
Explanation:
The correct answer is $51,500 which is b.
$45,000 * 30% = $13,500
This amount is then deducted from $65,000
$65,000 - $13,500 = $51,500.
LIFO is method of calculating the value of inventory in which all the units are valued.
LIFO stands for Last In First Out, which means the unit purchased the last will be sold first. In case of rising prices of inventory LIFO gives lower profits due to higher costs being charged for the units sold against the sale price which lowers the profit ultimately.
We use the formula to solve for the discounted payback period:
DPP = ln ( 1 / (1-P x r /A) ) / ln (1 + r)
From the problem
P = 900
r = 0.1
A = 500
Substituting:
DPP = ln (1 / (1 - 900(0.10)/500) / ln ( 1 + 0.10)
DPP = 2.09 years
