this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $428,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $262,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $18,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year.

Answer:

1. <u>implicit cost</u>

2.<u> explicit cost</u>

3. <u>implicit cost</u>

4. <u>explicit cost</u>

Explanation:

Implicit costs refer to those costs that represent opportunity cost. In simple terms they are notional or those which haven't been actually incurred but considered.

Opportunity costs refer to the cost of sacrificed alternatives when an alternative is opted for. For instance, a student pursuing post graduation incurs implicit cost in the form of income foregone had he chosen to work instead for the same duration.

In the given case, the foregone rental income Jacques would've earned had he chosen to rent out his showroom represents opportunity cost or implicit cost.

Similarly, the salary Jacques sacrificed by working in boat business represents implicit cost.

The wages and utility bills that Jacques pays and wholesale cost which he pays represent costs which have actually been incurred, which are termed as explicit costs.

a company produces a single product. variable production costs are $14.00 per unit and variable selling and administrative expen
My name is Ann [436]

The value of the ending inventory under variable costing is calculated to be $19,600.

To determine the value of the ending inventory under variable costing we first find out the units in the ending inventory as follows;

Units in ending inventory = Units in beginning inventory + Produced units − Sold units

Units in ending inventory = 0 + 6000 - 4600

Units in ending inventory = 1400

Now the value of the ending inventory under variable costing can be determined by multiplying units in the ending inventory by the variable  production cost as follows;

Value of Ending inventory = Unit in ending inventory × Variable production cost

Value of Ending inventory = 1400 × 14

Value of Ending inventory = $19,600

Hence, the value of the ending inventory would be $19,600 under variable costing.

Suppose the demand for good X is given by Qdx = 10 + axPx + ayPy + aMM. From the law of demand we know that ax will be: less tha
diamong [38]

Answer:

less than zero

Explanation:

According to the law of demand, an increase in price reflects in a decrease in demad. That is, price and demand are inversely proportional. Since ax is associated with the price of good X, it must be negative to accurately describe that behavior in the demand function.

Thus, ax will be: less than zero.

A major reason why it is difficult to lower the barriers to free trade is A. the loss of jobs without any gain of jobs from free
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

B) the uneven distribution of gains and losses from free trade.

Explanation:

One of the most important reasons why governments impose trade barriers is to protect domestic jobs (and domestic industries). We are part of a society (country), and society's most important component is people, not money. Generally the economic gains of free trade are larger than the economic losses, but the economic losses hurt the most.

Imagine if no trade barriers actually existed, how many millions of jobs would be lost in the US. Trade barriers are nothing new, the current president didn't invent them. He just incinerated them.

How does a leader tell the people that 10 or 20 million must lose their jobs and probably will not be able to find any similar jobs in the future just because the rest of society will benefit from cheaper products. The lives of 20 million households (50-80 million people) would be destroyed, while 280 million people would benefit.

The amount of harm done to the people that lose their jobs is much greater than any individual benefit.

Yellowstone Corporation has just announced the repurchase of $125,000 of its stock. The company has 39,000 shares outstanding an
puteri [66]

Answer:

The price–earnings ratio after the repurchase is 22.18

Explanation:

First calculate Numbers of new shares

New Shares = Old Shares - ( Repurchased Shares / Price per share )

New Shares = 39,000 - ( $125,000 / $76.09 )

New Shares = 39,000 - 1,642.79

New Shares = 37,357.21 shares

New compute the old earning

Old  Earning = EPS x Numbers of old shares = $3.29 x 39,000 = $128,310

New compute revised Earning per share

Revised EPS = Earning / New shares = $128,310 / 37,357.21 shares = $3.43

Now we need to calculate the Price earning ratio

P/E Ratio = Price per share / Revised earning per share = $76.09 / $3.43 = 22.18 times
