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

Beige Corporation, a C corporation, purchases a warehouse on August 1, 2007, for $1 million. Straight-line depreciation is taken
olchik [2.2K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the amount and character of the gain recorded is shown below:

1. Recognized gain would be

= Sales - the cost of the property - recovery cost

= $1,200,000 - $1,000,000 - $411,750

= $611,750

2. Now as per the section 1245 the potential recapture is $411,750

3. Now extra section 291 ordinary income in the case when it is a corporation

= $411,750 ×20%

= $82,350

4. And finally $82,350 would be considered as an ordinary income under section 291 while the remaining balance i.e.

= $611,750 - $82,350

= $529,400

This amount would be considered as a gain under section 1231

Even when competitive firms are unable to calculate marginal revenue product directly, ______________________________ will push
Alona [7]

Answer:

Even when competitive firms are unable to calculate marginal revenue product directly, <u>competition in the labor market</u> will push wage rates toward the marginal revenue product of labor.

Explanation:

The labor market is made up of employers seeking for labor and employees offering their labor services. The law of supply and demand also applies to this market, when more employers are seeking employees, the price (= salary) will increase.

For example, if many companies are making a  profit and they need more labor, the salaries will rise because the demand is rising.

Also the suppliers, the potential employees, compete against each other for the best possible jobs.

Suppose that a decrease in the demand for goods and services pushes the economy into recession. What happens to the price level?
ohaa [14]
A decrease in aggregate demand causes the price level to fall. If the government takes no action to
counter this, then the actual price level will be below the price level that people expected.
Individuals will eventually correct their expectations of the price level. As they do so, prices and
wages will adjust accordingly, shifting the aggregate supply curve to the right (down). For example
if wages are sticky, in light of the lower price level, firms and workers will eventually make bargains
for lower nominal wages. The reduction in wages lowers costs of production, so firms are willing to
