Answer:

Economic profit = -$25,000    option c

Opportunity cost = $175,000  option d

Accounting profit to allow for zero economic profit = $175,000 Option c

Explanation:

<em>Economic profit is the difference between revenue and implicit cost. Implicit cost is the sum of out-of-pocket accounting cost and opportunity cost.</em>

<em>opportunity csot is the value of the benefit sacrificed in favour of a decision.</em>

Economic profit = Accounting profit - opportunity cost

Opportunity cost for victor includes

1. The $100,000 per year which he would have earned had he invested the  money in a bond

2. The annual salary of $75000 he forfeited

Total opportunity cost = 100,000 + 75,000= $175,000

Economic profit = 150,000 -175,000 = -$25,000

To attain an economic profit of zero , the accounting profit ought to be the same at the opprotunity cost of $175,000

Economic profit = -$25,000    option c

Opportunity cost = $175,000  option d

Accounting profit to allow for zero economic profit = $175,000 Option c

Home Division Responsibility Report For the Year Ended December 31, 2020

The report is attached in form of a variance report with comments.  Where the variance is not indicated, it means that it was neither favorable nor unfavorable.

Explanation:

A responsibility report is usually presented by a division that is an investment center.  An investment center has responsibility for return on investments.

The investment center takes charge of the cost, revenue, profit, and investments of the division.  It is expected to produce returns on its investment that will be favorable to the shareholders of the company.  It is directly responsible for profitability of the division vis-a-vis the capital investments made in the center.  It is unlike other divisions like cost center, revenue center, and profit center, which narrowly report their performances in accordance with their responsibilities.

This is why it does not only report on the cost, but also the revenue, the profit and the returns on investment achieved during a period.  An investment center is, therefore, the largest division of an entity.
