to clients and other expenses. In addition, he owns a computer that he uses for business. If he didn’t use the computer, he could sell it and earn yearly interest of $100 on the money created through this sale. Hiro’s total revenue for the year is $100,000.

Answer: D. Since Hiro’s economic profit is negative, he would be better off if he didn’t operate the consulting business and taught economics instead.

Explanation:

Economic Cost is calculated by taking into account all costs, both Implicit and Explicit. Implicit Costs are also known as Opportunity costs and are referred to as the income you could be earning if you were doing the alternative.

Hiro's Economic Cost can hence be calculated by,

Economic Cost = Implicit costs + Explicit Costs

                            = (50,000 + 100) + 57,000

                            = <em>$107,000</em>

Subtracting that from his Revenue per year gives,

= 100,000 - 107,000

= -<em>$7,000</em>

Hiro is experiencing an Economic Loss by operating his business and would be better off Teaching Economics at the small local college.

What is the most efficient level of output and correponding marketer-hours in the short-run?
algol [13]

The most efficient level of output and corresponding marketer hours in the short-run is capital for a time period of fewer than four-six months.

The short run is an idea that within a certain time period, at least one input is fixed while others remain variable. In the short run, firms face both variable and fixed costs, which means that wages, output, and prices do not have full freedom to reach a new equilibrium.

In the short run one factor of production, for instance capital is fixed. This is a time period of fewer than four-six months. In the short run, the firm should increase output as long as marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, and reduce output if marginal revenue is less than marginal cost.

Hence, in the short run, a firm decides how much output to produce in the current facility.

Sandra waterman purchased a 52-week, $1,000 t-bill issued by the u.s. treasury. the purchase price was $996. (a) what is the amo
Darina [25.2K]
(a) Discount amount = Face value - Price of t-bills = $1,000-$996 = $4

(b) Amount received at maturity = Face value = $1,000 (Note: T-bills are guaranteed and thus one of the safest investment).

(c) Current yield, R = Discount amount/Face value * 360/t, where t = 52 weeks = 360 days.

Then,

R = (4/1000)*(360/360)*100 = 0.4%

Answer:

(d) $6,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total liabilities is shown below:

Total liabilities = Office equipment purchased - cash paid
