Answer:

a. $700,000

b. 6/7 or 85.7%

c. No they will not.

Explanation:

a. Jacobs will earn the normal salary that the other designers in the other companies are getting in addition to the incremental income he brings to the company as a result of his talents.

Incremental income = Revenue with Jacobs - Revenue without Jacobs

= 1,000,000 - 400,000

= $600,000

Jacobs earnings = Normal designer earnings + incremental income

= 100,000 + 600,000

= $700,000

b. Economic rent is the excess amount that the company is paying Jacobs over what it should normally cost to get a designer.

Normal cost of designer is $100,000. Company is therefore paying an economic rent of $600,000.

Proportion of Jacobs salary that is economic rent = \frac{Economic rent}{Jacobs annual earning}

= \frac{600,000}{700,000}

= 6/7 or 85.7%

c. The company hiring Jacobs will not be making an economic profit because for them to make an economic profit they would have to be making more than the $400,000 that the other firms make. They cannot make this amount because for them to do so they would have to reduce the amount they pay Jacobs. If they do so, Jacobs would leave for greener pastures and then they would be making the same $400,000 that the rest are making.

harina [27]

Answer:

$29,390

Explanation:

For computing the total cost first we have to determine the variable cost per customer and the fixed cost which is shown below:

Variable cost Per Customer is

= (High total cost - low total cost) ÷ (high number of customer served - low cost of customer served)

= ($28,934 - $28,241) ÷ (14,100 - 11,214)

= $0.24

Now

Fixed cost is

= High cost - (high number of customer served × variable cost per customer)

= 28,934 - (14,100 × 0.24)

= $25,550

So, the total cost for 16,000 customers is

= Fixed cost + variable cost

= $25,550 + (16,000 × $0.24)

= $29,390

Answer:

Elena wants to open a Chinese restaurant near a university. She has the required capital to start her restaurant. However, she is unable to find  

good chefs for her restaurant. Which type of resource is Elena lacking?  

Elena is lacking Labor resource.  

Explanation:  

The Labor resource is the term related with the people needed for running the operation of a business. In this case Elena has the need for the chefs that will help you with the elaboration of the dishes that she wants to offer.  

A business usually needs the following type of resources: labor, capital and land.  

As we said previously Labor is the resource related to people.  

Land is the resource related to the physical space where you want to set up your business. e.g store, online site, offices, building and so on.  

Capital is the resource related to the money or financial investment needed to cover the initial launching costs.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Implicit cost is also known as opportunity cost.

Opportunity cost or implicit is the cost of the option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.

The normal rate of return is when cost is equal to revenue. So, profit is zero.

Economic profit = Revenue -explicit cost - implicit cost

0 = (200 x $2) - $350 - implicit cost

implicit cost = $50
