Answer:

d. greater than economic profits because the former do not take implicit costs into account.

Explanation:

Accounting profit is total revenue less total cost or explicit cost.

Explicit cost are costs that is actually incurred. They appear in the financial statements of a company.

Economic profit is accounting profit less implicit cost.

Implicit cost is also known as opportunity cost. It is the cost of the activity forgone in order to carry out another activity. For example, if I earn $100 working as a teaching assistant but resign to start my own business as a fashion designer where I earn $500, my opportunity cost is $100.

Accounting profit is usually greater than economic profit because it doesn't take into account implicit cost. Accounting profit can be equal to economic profit if implicit cost is zero.

I hope my answer helps you.

solong [7]

Answer:

c. $6.03

Explanation:

Earnings available to common shareholders

Net Income $6,000,000

Less: Preference dividend $200,000

Net Income available to common shareholders $5,800,000

Number of Common shares = 950,000

Equivalent common shares for convertible 5% Bonds = 10,450. [Number of bonds = 2,100,000/1,000 = 2,100 shares. Equivalent common shares = 2,100 * 5 = 10,500 shares]

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding = 950,000 + 10,500 = 960,500

Earnings per share = Earnings available to common shareholders / Weighted average number of common shares outstanding

Earnings per share = $5,800,000 / 960,500

Earnings per share = 6.038521603331598

Earnings per share = $6.04
