Answer:

-$475,000

Explanation:

Total revenue = Baskets of peaches × Price

                       = 100,000 × $3

                       = $300,000

Explicit cost:

= Rent equipment + wages

= $100,000 + $100,000

= $200,000

Implicit cost:

= Land × Interest + salesman earned

=  $1,000,000 × 0.55 + $25,000

= $575,000

Total cost = Explicit cost: + Implicit cost

                = $200,000 + $575,000

                = $775,000

Economic profit = Total revenue - Total cost

                           = $300,000 - $775,000

                           = -$475,000

Assume that on November 1, 2019, a 3-month rent payment for $8,000 per month (for a total of $24,000) was made with respect to a
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

a)

Rent Expense   Dr.$16,000

Bank                  Dr.$48,000

Prepaid Rent     Cr.$64,000

Explanation:

The company entered into lease on 1st November 2019 with rent of $8,000 per month. the company on 1st November 2019 recorded prepaid rent as follows; which is wrong

Prepaid Rent Dr. $72,000

Bank              Cr. $72,000

This is wrong entry as prepaid rent was overstated by ($72,000-$24,000 ) $48,000 and same like bank was understated by $48,000

The correct entry should have been like this as on 1st November 2019;

Prepaid Rent Dr. $24,000

Bank               Cr. $ 24,000

By 31st December 2019, two months rent have already accrued so prepaid rent should be credited by (8000*2+48,000 for additional amount recorded)

<em>So the rectifying entry is; as on 31st December 2019</em>

<em>Rent Expense   Dr.$16,000</em>

<em>Bank                  Dr.$48,000</em>

<em>Prepaid Rent     Cr.$64,000</em>

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Abdul's surplus= $400

Total surplus=$500

Explanation:

Consumer surplus can be defined as the amount a consumer is willing to pay and the amount he actually paid (which is usually less).

Given:

Carolina willing selling price=$2,000

Abdul willing buying price=$2,500

Abdul negotiated price=$2,100

Abdul is willing to pay $2,500 but he negotiated $2,100

Abdul's surplus= $2,500-$2,100

=$400

Total surplus= Abdul's willing price - carolilina's willing price

Total surplus= $2,500 - $2,000

= $500

Randy is an accountant at XYZ Store Co. In January the store had $150,000 in sales, $35,000 in payroll, $20,000 in rent and util
xenn [34]

Net cash flow is basically the difference of the cash balance from the beginning of the period to the end of the period. For this instance, we take sales and subtract the listed expenses.

January = 150,000 - 35,000- 20,000 -20,000 = 75,000 net cash flow

February = 175,000 - 39,000 - 25,000 - 45,000 = 66,000 net cash flow

For the change you divide (February/January) -1 or (66,000/75,000)-1= -.12

The growth in cash flow was -12%

Mayan company had net income of $33,250. the weighted-average common shares outstanding were 9,500. the company sold 4,500 share
mylen [45]

The company’s earnings per share would still be based on the common shares outstanding of 9,500. This is because the 4,500 selling transaction is not yet accounted for that last accounting period. Therefore,

Earnings per share = $33,250 / 9,500 shares

Earnings per share = $3.5 per share
