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

I hope my answer helps you.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

$31,100

Explanation:

On May 31 of the current year, the assets and liabilities of Riser, Inc. are as follows: Cash $20,500; Accounts Receivable, $7,250; Supplies, $650; Equipment, $12,000; Accounts Payable, $9,300.

Therefore the amount of stockholders’ equity as of May 31 of the current year can be derived by the formula : Capital = Assets - Liabilities

<u>Assets</u>

Cash $20,500;

Accounts Receivable, $7,250;

Supplies, $650;

Equipment, $12,000

TOTAL = 40,400

<u>Liabilities</u>

Accounts Payable, $9,300.

Therefore stockholders’ equity = 40,400 - 9,300 = $31,100

gladu [14]

Answer:

a. unaffected

b. understated

c. overstated

d. overstated

e. overstated

f. unaffected

Explanation:

The journal adjustment entry for supplies consumed should be;

Supplies expense A/C                                            Dr.

     To Supplies  A/C                                    

(Being supplies consumed recorded)

Supplies expense being an expense and supplies being an asset, the omission would lead to understated expenses since the expense has not been recorded and overstated assets since the cost of supplies used was supposed to be reduced from assets balance.

Owen Conner works part-time packaging software for a local distribution company in Indiana. The annual fixed cost is $10,000 for
Brut [27]

Answer:

break even point in units = 2,667

break even point in $ = $33,338

Explanation:

The break even point marks the point where a company is able to cover all its expenses. At this point the company is not losing money, but it is not making a profit either.

break even point in units = total fixed costs / contribution margin

  • total fixed costs = $10,000
  • contribution margin = $12.50 - ($4 + $4.75) = $12.50 - $8.75 = $3.75

break even point in units = $10,000 / $3.75 = 2,666.67 ≈ 2,667 units

break even point in $ = 2,667 units x $12.50 per unit = $33,337.50 ≈ $33,338
