Answer:

b. −1,002.5

Explanation:

economic profit = accounting profit - opportunity costs

  • accounting profit = revenue - maintenance and insurance = $96,000 - $30,240 = $65,760
  • opportunity costs = the lost salary as a computer programmer + money he could earn by selling the land lot and investing = $48,000 + ($395,000 x 4.75%) = $66,762.50

economic annual profit = $65,760 - $66,762.50 = -$1,002.50

zhannawk [14.2K]

A bulk gaining industry is one where the product gains weight or volume through the production process (the whole is greater than the sum of the parts). Due to logistical and transportation costs it is advantageous to produce bulk-gaining materials closer to where they are sold. This is why foreign car companies (Toyota, mazda, etc) have US-based production plants to save on these costs.

arsen [322]
Depending on where overseas is managers should get to know a little about the cultures, being bilingual would help both managers and employees. Hiring someone who can translate a number of languages would also be a benefit. I'd consider writing out the questions and getting them translated. Managers should come up with no more than 5 questions, it's going to be cumbersome already.

Cultural differences are bound to surface. Some of the ones I would learn about would be; eye contact, hand gestures, physical space, also practice matching there expressions.
