Sliva [168]

Answer:

b. $51,000 and $5000.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Total Revenues = $140,000

Explicit cost = $15,000 + $50,000 + $4,000 + $20,000 = $89000

Implicit cost (opportunity cost) = $40,000 + $6,000 = $46,000

So, we can calculate accounting profit and economic profit by using following formula,

Accounting Profit = Total revenue - Explicit cost

By putting the value, we get

= $140,000 - $89,000

= $51,000

Economic Profit = Total revenue - Explicit cost - Implicit cost

By putting the value, we get

= $140,000 - $89,000 - $46,000

= $5,000

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

D) $165,000

Explanation:

Partner        Capital Balance             Income Share

Nunes              $250,000                        20%

Orta                  $180,000                         30%

Paulo                $150,000                         50%

Totals               $580,000                       100%

Orta's balance - capital balance = $180,000 - $159,000 = $21,000 which will increase the partnership's total capital balance

partnership's capital balance = $421,000

the extra $21,000 will be divided according to each remaining partner's income distribution:

  • Paulo = (50%/70%) x $21,000 = $15,000
  • Nunes = (20%/70%) x $21,000 = $6,000

Paulo's capital balance = $150,000 + $15,000 = $165,000
