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

Snowcat [4.5K]

= 10,800 + 164,300

= 175,100

Hence the debit to cost of goods sold is $175,100
