Answer: Profit and loss is calculated by subtracting total explicit costs from total revenue.

Economic profit is calculated by subtracting total implicit and and explicit costs from total revenue while accounting profit is calculated by subtracting only explicit cost from total revenue.

A. Economic profit

B. Accounting profit

C. Less

D. Cost

Explanation:

Profit and loss = Total revenue - Total explicit cost

If the value gotten is postive, it is a profit. If it is negative, it is a loss.

Accounting profit = Total revenue - Total explicit cost

Economic profit = Accounting profit - Accounting profit

Economic profit is always less than accounting profit because opportunity cost and explicit cost are substracted from total revenue. But to calculate accounting profit, only explicit cost is substracted from total revenue.

Answer:

$33,600

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

But first we have to determined the following things

Depreciation rate

= 1 ÷ useful life

= 1 ÷ 10

= 0.1

It is double-declining so the rate is also double i.e. 0.20

Now in the first year, the depreciation expense is

= $40,000 × 0.20

= $8,000

Now in the second year, the depreciation is

= ($40,000 - $8,000) × 0.20

= $25,600

So, the accumulated depreciation at the end of 2019 is

= $8,000 + $25,600

= $33,600

Here the residual value is not relevant. hence, ignored it

The factors are: Lack of experience, Economic depression, Inappropriate comments or behaviour in the interview, Poor use of English language,and low cognitive skills

They would not necessarily higher you based on your academic performance because often times you would had to start learning everything related to the job again from the scratch.
