Answer:

- $45000

Explanation:

Economic profit is different from accounting profit in the sense that former also takes into consideration the implicit costs, also referred to as opportunity costs unlike the latter.

Economic Profit = Accounting profit - Opportunity Costs

Opportunity costs are defined as the the cost of sacrificed or foregone alternative for pursuing a particular alternative. Such costs are implicit or notional as they are not actually incurred.

In the given case, Economic Profit = Revenues - Explicit costs - Implicit costs

Here, the implicit cost is $60,000 income foregone.

Thus, Economic Profit = $20,000(income) - $ 5000 (expense) - $60,000 (opportunity cost)

Economic Profit = ($ 45,000) or -$45,000.

The following information relates to current production of bench seats for boats at Aquamarine Manufacturing:
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The operating income would be affected with a los off $716,000 besides the $95,000 that the company losses operating with the regular order.

Explanation:

Ok with the information provided lets set up the equations (we are going to separate the equations by regular order and especial order):

Regular order:

CT = 775,000 + 132X  (Total cost)

TR= 200X (Total Revenue)

OI = 68X - 775,000 (Operating Income)

Especial order:

CT = 785,000 + 117X  (Total cost)

TR = 140X (Total Revenue)

OI = 23X - 785,000 (Operating Income)

Now lets see how the operating income is with the production and selling of 10,000 bench seats:

OI = 68(10,000) - 775,000 = -95,000

This company operates at a loss of $95,000, now lets see how would operating income be affected by the especial order of 3,000 bench seats:

OI = 23(3,000) - 785,000 = -716,000

Another loss, so the operating income would be affected with a los off $716,000 besides the $95,000 that the company losses operating with the regular order.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The target cost per unit is $3.44 per unit for the filter

Explanation:

Computing the target cost per unit of the filter as:

Computing revenue as:

Revenue = Maximum price per unit × Selling units

where

Maximum price per unit is $4

Selling units are 1,000,000

So,

Revenue = $4 × 1,000,000

Revenue = $4,000,000

The target profit is as:

Target Profit = Minimum rate of return × Revenue

Target Profit = 14% × $4,000,000

Target Profit = $560,000

Now, computing the target profit per unit as:

Target profit per unit = 14% of $4

Target profit per unit = 14% × $4

Target profit per unit = $0.56

Computing the Target cost as:

Target cost = Maximum price - Target profit per unit

Target cost = $4 - $0.56

Target cost = $3.44 per unit
