Answer:
a. Accounting profit for the business = $3,500
b. Economic loss = $1,000
c. The two friends can open the business and incur economic loss of $1,000 in the first year of operation. In subsequent years, the revenue may increase to generate better economic profit. This is the labor, risk, and reward of entrepreneurship.
d. If the two friends do not go ahead with the business because of the economic loss they suffer in the first year of operation, then they cannot be regarded as entrepreneurs. They are merely laborers who cannot assume any risk for greater rewards tomorrow.
Explanation:
Cost of business per month:
Operating expenses = $4,000
Lease of building = 2,000
Total expenses = $6,000
Revenue = $10,000
Accounting profit $4,000
Economic profit:
Revenue = $10,000
Total expenses = $6,000
Opportunity costs:
Lost salaries 4,500
Lost Interest 500
Total costs $11,000
Economic loss = $1,000
Answer:
Contribution margin ratio = 69.23%
Explanation:
We know,
Contribution margin ratio = (Contribution Margin per unit ÷ Sales per unit) × 100
Again, we know, Contribution margin per unit = Sales per unit - Variable cost per unit
Given,
Sales price per unit = $6.50
Variable cost per unit = $2.00
Therefore, Contribution margin per unit = $6.50 - $2.00 = $4.50
Putting the values into the above formula, we can get,
Contribution margin ratio = ($4.50 ÷ $6.50) × 100 = 69.23% (Rounded to two decimal places)
