Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": All of these answer choices are incorrect.

Explanation:

Retained earnings are the part of the company's net profits which does not pay out as dividends to shareholders. The company keeps this money in the business to reinvest it or uses it to pay off a part of its debt.

When revenues of a company exceed the expenses of a period, the firm has net income. Net income is reported as a credit entry. Thus, the retained earnings will have a credit balance prior to closing.

ira [324]

Answer: Cost to purchase the options on the exercise date = $1000

Answer:

0

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

accounting profit = revenue - explicit cost

Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business.

100,000 - (25,000 + 40,000 + 25,000) = 10,000

economic profit = 10,000 - 10,000 = 0
