Economists consider both explicit and implicit costs when measuring economic profit

1 answer:

7 0

Explicit and Implicit costs should be considered when measuring economic profit because a business must cover its opportunity costs as well as its out-of-pocket expenses to be truly profitable. Economic profit consists of revenue minus implicit (opportunity) and explicit (monetary) costs. Explicit costs are monetary costs a firm has. Implicit costs are the opportunity costs of a firm’s resources.

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The optimal stocking level for the bakery is cakes 27.

Explanation:

Cost c = $ 7

Selling price p = $ 10

salvage value s = $ 5

Mean = 25

Standard deviation \sigma = 8

Cu = underage cost

= p-c

= $10 - $7

= $3

Co = overage cost

= c-s

= $7 - $5

= $2

P\leq C_{u}/(C_{u}+C_{o})

P\leq3/(3+2)

= 0.6

By using normsinv() function in excel we to find the correct critical value

The Z value for the probability 0.6 is 0.2533

The optimal stocking level is

=\mu +z\sigma

= 25 + 0.2533 *8

= 27.02

The optimal stocking level of bakery is 27.02

Therefore, The optimal stocking level for the bakery is cakes 27.

The PV of the investment can be written as:

PV1 = $15,000 + $32,500/(1+0.06)^n

<u>Second method</u>

The PV of the investment can be written as:

PV2 = $23,000 + $23,000/(1+0.06)^n

After n years both projects will be economically equal. Hence their present value must be equal PV1 = PV2

$15,000 + $32,500/(1.06)^n = $23,000 + $23,000/(1.06)^n

$23,000 - $15,000 = $32,500/(1.06)^n - $23,000/(1.06)^n

$8,000 = $9,500/(1.06)^n

(1.06)^n = $9,500/$8,000

(1.06)^n = 1.1875

Taking log on both sides we get:

nlog1.06 = log 1.1875

n = log 1.1875/log 1.06

n = 0.07463361829/0.02530586526

n = 2.94926166417121

n = 3

So, the answer is 3 years

The distinction between efficiency and equality can be described as follows:

larisa [96]

Answer:

The correct answer is the letter b. Efficiency refers to maximizing the size of the pie; equality refers to distributing the pie fairly among members of society.

Explanation:

Efficiency is about maximizing production while minimizing costs, ie producing as much as possible with available resources. Equality refers to the distribution of production, that is, the division into economically considered fair parts of what was produced among the agents of society. In the example, efficiency would be to produce the largest pie possible given the existing resources. Equality would be the distribution of the pie considered socially fair.

Jessica is a one-third owner in Bikes-R-Us, an S corporation that experienced a $45,000 loss this year (year 1).

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

a. $15,000

b. $10,000 & $3,000

c. $3,000

Explanation:

a. The amount of loss deducted in a year will be equal to the stock basis in the company.

The excess amount of loss will be carry to the future years and deducted, if there is conditional stock basis in the company.

The amount is Jessica allowed to deduct in year 1: ($45,000 x 1/3) = $15,000

b. Her stock and debt bases in the corporation at the end of year 1:

=> Stock basis at the end of year 1: $10,000 - $10,000 = 0

=> Remaining amount of loss: $15,000 - $10,000 = $5,000 => Remaining loss: $5,000 - $3,000 = $2,000

So, Jessica has a suspended loss of $2,000 at the end of year 1

c. The profit is $12,000

Share of J: $12,000 x 1/3 = $4,000

Out of this $4,000, the $3,000 (one-third) will be its debt basis and $1,000 will be stock basis.

The amount of $2,000 loss will first be deducted from the stock basis and then from the debt basis.
