Answer:

Accounting Profit =  103,000 Economic profit. =  (64,000)

Explanation:

ACCOUNTING PROFITS

Revenue .......... $250,000

Expenses:

Labor $80,000

Rent 22,000

Materials 40,000

Utilities  5,000

Total Costs........... $<u>147,000</u>

Net Profit                $<u>103,000</u>  

 

ECONOMIC PROFITS (1)

Revenue  .........................$250,000

Explicit

Labor $80,000

Rent 22,000

Materials 40,000

Utilities  5,000

Total Explicit Costs...... $<u>147,000</u>

Implicit Costs

Opportunity Cost of Working for Cookie Monster $160,000

Opportunity Cost of Owner's Capital ($35,000 X 20%) <u>  7,000</u>

Total Implicit Costs                                                  <u>$167,000</u>

Total Explicit Plus Implicit Costs $147,000  + $167,000 = $314,000

Economic Profit = 250,000 - 314,000 = ($64,000)

Peggy Sue is better off working for herself and should not work for Cookie Monster, Inc.

Answer:

Accounting profit $103,000

Economic profit(loss here) is -$64,000

She should rather take the job at Monster Inc as she is not enjoying an economic profit

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the economic and accounting profits for Peggy-sue’s cookies. We proceed as follows;

Accounting profit(I.e profit without opportunity cost) = 250,000 - 80,000 - 22,000 - 40,000 - 5,000 = $103,000

The Economic profit(profit with opportunity cost) = Accounting Profit - opportunity cost

Let’s calculate the opportunity cost;

Opportunity cost = 160,000( her salary I’d she was working with Monster Inc) + 35,000 * 20%( her investment if she leaves the company) = 160,000 + 7,000 = 167,000

Her Economic Profit = 103,000 - 167,000 = -64 000( a loss in this case)

As a component of real estate value, the principle of substitution states that
k0ka [10]

Answer:

a. If two similar properties are for sale, a buyer will purchase the cheaper of the two.

Explanation:

The principle of substitution justifies the idea that the maximum value of a property will be set by the selling price of an equally valuable and desirable substitute property. In this case of property sale, if an area has two similar houses and one is being sold for $912,000 and the other is priced at $105,000, buyers will most likely go for the cheaper one. There is no reason to pay more money if they will be getting a similar property at low cost.
