Answer:

c. will earn zero economic profits but positive accounting profits

Explanation:

A competitive industry is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services.

There are no barriers to entry and exit of firms. If firms in a competitive industry earn economic profit in the short run, firms enter into the industry in the long run and economic profit falls to zero.

A competitive firm earns accounting profit but doesn't earn economic profit.

Accounting profit = Revenue - Cost

Economic profit = Accounting profit - Opportunity cost

A company is evaluating a new 4-year project. The equipment necessary for the project will cost $3,250,000 and can be sold for $
MissTica

Answer: $615,810‬

Explanation:

The Book Value of the Asset at the end of 4 years will be;

= Cost of equipment - Accumulated Depreciation

= 3,250,000 - ( 3,250,000 * ( 20% + 32% + 19.20% + 11.52%))

= 3,250,000 - 2,688,400

= $561,600

The Equipment will be sold at $645,000 meaning a gain is made

= 645,000 - 561,600

= $83,400

Tax to be paid is;

= 83,400 * 0.35

= $29,190

After-tax salvage value of the equipment = Sales Price - Tax

= 645,000 - 29,190

= $615,810‬
