Yakov lives in San Diego and runs a business that sells boats. In an average year, he receives $704,000 from selling boats. Of t

his sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $404,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $286,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $3,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Yakov does not operate this boat business, he can work as an accountant and receive an annual salary of $20,000 with no additional monetary costs. No other costs are incurred in running this boat business. Identify each of Yakov's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling boats. Complete the following table by determining Yakov's accounting and economic profit of his boat business. If Yakov's goal is to maximize his economic profit, he stay in the boat business because the economic he would earn as an accountant would be __________

Answer:

Yakov's explicit costs are the monetary costs that he pays while running his business:

Payment to manufacturer: $404,000

Wages and utility bills: $286,000

Total explicit costs: $690,000

Yakov's implicit costs are his opportunity costs, in other words, the things he gives up in order to run his business:

Rent he would get for his showroom: $3,000

Wage he would get as an accountant: $20,000

Total implicit costs: $23,000

Yakov's accounting profit is equal to revenue minus total explicit costs:

Accounting profit = $704,000 - $690,000

                             = $14,000

Yakov's economic profit is equal to revenue minus total costs (the sum of implic costs and explicit costs)

Economic profit = $704,000 - $713,000

                          = ($9,000)

Despite the fact that Yakov is not earning an economic profit selling boats, as an accountant, he would give up on the $704,000 that he is been making from selling boats. For that reason, he should keep the boat selling business.

You are considering investing in a project with the following possible outcomes: Probability of Investment States Occurrence Ret
frutty [35]

Answer:

SD = 0.0740270 or 7.40270 percent rounded off to 7.403 percent

Explanation:

To calculate the standard deviation of the investment, we must first calculate the expected or mean return of the investment. The expected or mean return can be calculated as follows,

r = pA * rA  +  pB * rB  +  ...  +  pN * rN

Where,

  • pA, pB, ... represents the probability of state occurrence
  • rA, rB, ... represents return A, return B and so on  under each state

r = 0.2 * 0.16  +  0.4 * 0.12  +  0.2 * 0.05  +  0.2 * -0.05

r = 0.08 or 8%

The formula to calculate the standard deviation of a stock/investment is as follows,

SD = √pA * (rA - r)²  +  pB * (rB - r)²  +  ...  +  pN * (rN - r)²

SD = √0.2 * (0.16 - 0.08)²  +  0.4 * (0.12 - 0.08)²  +  0.2 * (0.05 - 0.08)²  +  0.2 * (-0.05 - 0.08)²

SD = 0.0740270 or 7.40270 percent rounded off to 7.403 percent

Suppose a large country experiences economic growth which results in a reduced willingness to trade. The country’s terms of trad
eimsori [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": improve; rise.

Explanation:

Terms of Trade measures the efficiency of a country's trade. It is a ratio which compares the exports of a country with its imports. It is <em>calculated by dividing the export value by the import value, and by multiplying the result by one hundred (100)</em>. A terms of trade figure higher than 100, means a country exporting goods at a higher value than its imports.

<em>Given the case that there is no willingness to trade in an economy after a growth, the most possible scenario to take place is that the trade terms will </em>improve <em>as a result of the decrease in the demand of imports and assuming the level of exports keeps at the constant level that allowed the economic growth or if it even </em>rises<em>.</em>

A clothing store has ordered 100,000 swimsuits. It costs $22 to produce a swimsuit. They plan to sell them until August 31 at a
fomenos

Answer:

Total profit = $1800000  @ a given demand level of 100K units of swimsuit.

Explanation:

Lets first develop a formula representing the Total profit for any demand level, see as follows:

(Selling price per unit× d) - (cost per unit× d)= Total profit

We will be using the short forms of the components in this formula.

SP = selling price per unit

d= demand

cp= cost per unit

TP= Total profit.

Now lets substitute the values into the formula to compute profit at any demand level (in this case 100,000 units of swimsuits) as follows:

Total profit = ($40× 100000) - ($22× 100000)

Total profit = $4000,000 - $2200,000

Total profit = $1800000  @ a given demand level of 100K units of swimsuit.

<em />

<em>(NOTE: The formula mentioned above can be used to compute the correct profit for any demand level, even though if there is a change in sp and/or cp, the formula can also be useful.)</em>

Monty Company reports the following financial information before adjustments. Dr. Cr. Accounts Receivable $132,800 Allowance for
creativ13 [48]

Answer: The following journal entries apply:

a) Debit Bad debt expense                                    $32,727.6  

  Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts            $32,727.6

b) Debit Bad debt expense                                    $37,017.6  

  Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts            $37,017.6

Explanation: All the sales revenue are on credit to the tune of $806,700, however, there was sales return and allowance of $51,060, which has to be deducted from credit sales to arrive at the net credit sales of $755,640. This amount would be added to the accounts receivable of $132,800 to arrive at the total accounts receivable of $888,440.

a) 4% of $888,440 is $35,537.6. With credit balance of $2,810 in allowance for doubtful accounts, bad debt expense (addition) is $32,727.6  ($35,537.6 - $2,810).

b) 4% of $888,440 is $35,537.6 and there is a debit balance of $1,480 in allowance for doubtful accounts, bad debt expense (to reinstate allowance account to $35,537.6) is $37,017.6 ($35,537.6 + $1,480).
