Tanzania [10]3 years ago

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.

Q 7.37: Eric Hansen is a receiving clerk who has just been denied a raise. He has approached his subordinate, who is the new sto
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Human element; collusion.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Eric Hansen is a receiving clerk who has just been denied a raise. He has approached his subordinate, who is the new storeroom clerk, about diverting inventory to sell for personal gain. This is an example of the human element, which may lead to collusion.

Human element can be defined as a strategic technique for improving and dealing with the way or manner employees work together in a business environment in order to achieve greater organizational performance and accomplishments. Human element can be used to improve openness, sincerity and honesty among the the very many people (employees) working individually or together as a team in an organization.

In this case, when the storeroom clerk agrees to Eric's suggestion, this would lead to both of them diverting inventory to sell for personal gain. This is simply an act of collusion.

Collusion is an illegal cooperation or agreement between two or more people with an ulterior motive, for personal benefits.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: $116.026

Explanation:

Given the following ;

Yearly hazard insurance = $350

Keisha is the buyer and the closing date of transaction is September 1 of the year.

January 1 till September 1 = 244days

Now Keisha will have to credit John from September 2 till December 31st of that year

Therefore,

September 2 till December 31 = 365 - 244 = 121 days

Daily hazard insurance = $350 ÷ 365 = $0.9589

Keisha's share = $0.9589 × 121 = $116.026
