Answer:

13%

Explanation:

The computation of the average rate of return on the investment is shown below:

= Annual net income ÷ average investment

The annual net income is shown below:

Increase in revenue $40,000

Less: Increase in expenses ($25,000)

Pretax income from investment $15,000

Less: Income tax expense $5,250      ($15,000 × 35%)

Net income from investment $9,750

The computation is shown below:

For increase in expense

= Annual cash operating expenses + Depreciation expense based on straight line method

= $10,000 + ($150,000 - $0 ÷ $10,000)

= $10,000 + $15,000

= $25,000

And, the average investment would be

= (Initial investment + salvage value) ÷ 2

= ($150,000 + $0) ÷ 2

= $150,000 ÷ 2

= $75,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the rate would equal to

= $9,750 ÷ $75,000

= 13%

Jacqui decides to open her own business and earns $50,000 in accounting profit the first year. When deciding to open her own bus
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

C) $4,000

Explanation:

To calculate economic profit we can use the following formula:

economic profit = total revenue - (accounting costs + implicit costs) = (total revenue - accounting cost) - implicit costs

where:

  • accounting profit = total revenue - accounting cost = $50,000
  • implicit costs: ($20,000 x 5%) + $45,000 = $1,000 + $45,000 = $46,000

economic profit = $50,000 - $46,000 = $4,000

Product B has revenue of $39,500, variable cost of goods sold of $25,500, variable selling expenses of $16,500, and fixed costs
Kay [80]

Answer:

We should discontinue Product B

Explanation:

We should check if Product B generates a contribution or not:

We subtract from the sales revenues the variable cost:

revenue                                   39,500

variable cost of goods sold   (25,500)

variable selling expenses   <u>   (16,500) </u>

Contribution                              (2,500)

<em>As the contribution is negative, we should discontinue </em>Product B as is less expensevely to stop production than continue.
