Answer:

a. $300,000

b. $200,000

Explanation:

a. The opportunity cost for labor is calculated by multiplying the hours of labor needed to complete the project with the market wage rate.

20,000 hours * $15 per hour = $300,000

b. There are some labors that are unemployed and has agreed to work for $10 per hour. The opportunity cost will now be lower than the previously calculated

20,000 hours * $10 per hour = $200,000

c. The opportunity cost depends on the wage rate of the labor. When the labors are employed at market rate, the opportunity cost is high and when there is unemployment the labors are willing to work for lower wage rate. The opportunity cost is decreased.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The assets at the end of 2018 will be for 222,000

Explanation:

We solve using the accounting equation:

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

2017

Equity 125,000

Assets 145,000

<em>Assets = Liabilities + Equity</em>

145,000 = Liabilities + 125,000

145,000 - 125,000 = Liabilities

Liaiblities = 20,000

2018

Equity 131,000

"Liabilities increase by 71,000"

Liabilities = 2017 + increase = 20,000 + 71,000 = 91,000

<em>Assets = Liabilities + Equity</em>

Assets = 91,000 + 131,000 = 222,000
