Answer: c.) - $25,000

Explanation:

Economic profit = Accounting profit - opportunity cost

Accounting profit = $150,000

Estimated return on bond investment = $100,000

Job earning = $75,000

Total opportunity forgone = (estimated return on bond investment + job earning)

Total opportunity forgone = $(100,000 + 75,000) = $175,000

Therefore, Victor's Economic profit equals :

$150,000 - $175,000 = - $25,000

Answer:

The correct answer is B. They increase consumption and decrease investment.

Explanation:

It should be taken into account that in the fourth quarter of the year the company did not produce any type of consumer goods, it only did so in the third quarter and subsequently sold them.

Dog Kennel uses tenant-days as its measure of activity; an animal housed in the kennel for one day is counted as one tenant-day.
gavmur [86]

Answer:

1,708 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Revenue Variance = Budgeted Revenue - Actual Revenue, and where actual revenue is less than standard revenue, then variance will be unfavorable.

Note: The variance is calculated for revenue and not the net profit, because both are different terms.

Budgeted = 3,100 tenant days

Actual = 3,120 tenant days

Revenue Budgeted for actual tenant days = $34 \times 3,120 = $106,080

Less: Actual Revenue = $104,372

Since Standard revenue is more than actual revenue, the variance will be unfavorable = $106,080 - $104,372 = 1,708 Unfavorable

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

С. $1,350.00 Favorable

Explanation:

The computation of the material price variance is shown below:

= Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)

= 9,000 × ($19.15 - $171,000 ÷ 9,000)

= 9,000 × ($19.15 - $19)

= 9,000 × $0.15

= $1,350 favorable

The actual price is computed below:

= Actual cost of materials purchased ÷ Actual materials purchased

= $171,000 ÷ 9,000

= $19

What would be the total interest earned and the total percent yield for the time period for the following problem? Remember that
lidiya [134]

The balance in Marty’s account will be $1330

Simple interest= (P x R x T) / 100

Where,

P = Principal = $1,000

R= Rate = 7.2%

T = Time = 55 months =  4.583333 years.

Simple Interest = (1000 x 7.2 x 4.58) / 100

=$329.76 = $330 (approx.)

Amount = Principal + Simple Interest

=$1000 + $330

=$1330

What is Simple Interest?

Simple interest is calculated based on a loan's principal or the initial deposit into a savings account. Simple interest doesn't compound, so a borrower will never have to pay interest on the interest already accumulated because a creditor will only pay interest on the principal amount.

How do I calculate simple interest?

Simplified interest (S.I.) is computed using the following formula: S.I. = P*R *T, where P stands for principal, R for the annual percentage rate of interest, and T for time, which is typically expressed as the number of years. Written as r/100, the interest rate is expressed as a percentage, or r%.
