Answer:

Accounting profit=$300,000

Explanation:

<em>Accounting profit is the difference between revenue from from production or service activities and the expenditures incurred.  </em>

<em>It is the difference between the total revenue and the</em><em> total explicit costs</em><em>. Explicit costs are those transaction cost incurred to generate revenue . E.g the cost of the material , labour, expenses e.tc.</em>

On the other hand, economic profit includes accounting profit plus opportunity cost. Opportunity cost is the value of the benefits sacrificed in favour of a decision.  

Accounting profit = Sales revenue - Explicit cost

Sales revenue = Price × units sold= $15× 1000× 30 = $450,000 1

Explicit cost = $150,00

Accounting profit = $450,000- 150,000 = $300,000

Accounting profit=$300,000

Note we ignore the amount she could have earned because it is an implicit cost

A store manager must decide how many rug cleaners to rent to customers. The manager estimates that the first would yield $200 a
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The store manager must decide to buy 3

Explanation:

Given that:

  • The first:  $200 a year
  • The second $150
  • The third $75,
  • The fourth $50
  • Interest rate is 12 percent
  • Investment: $500

As we know that the rate of return will be: Income / Investment

So the rate of return of:

  • The first:  $200 / $500 = 0.4 = 40%
  • The second $150 / $500 = 0,3 = 30%
  • The third $75 / $500 = 0.15 = 15%
  • The fourth $50 / $500 = 0.1 = 10%

Only three rug cleaners have the rate of return greater than the interest rate so the store manager must decide to buy 3

                        Cash                                                                     $22,000  

                    Being payment for new component expected to increase the

                    equipment’s productivity by 10% a year

      2.           Equipment Repairs expenses      $6,250

                       Cash                                                                          $6,250

                    Being payment for equipment repair

     3.            Equipment                                       $14,870

                       Cash                                                                          $14,870

                    Being payment for equipment repair to prolong the useful life

                    the asset

Explanation:

The initial cost incurred in acquiring an asset is debited to asset account, subsequently every other cost spent on the assets are either expenses against the earning of that period or expensed over many years over the useful life of the asset.

Capitalization is the recognition of an expense as an asset in the balance sheet rather than expenses in the income statement.

The payment of $22,000 paid for the equipment productivity must be capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset because it is a cost that is  expected to increase the equipment’s productivity by 10% a year.

The  $6,250  paid for normal repair is a revenue items which is to be expensed against the earning of that period.

The $14,870 paid for repairs which will increase the useful life of the equipment from four to five years is a capital expenditure which should capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset.
