Answer:

Accounting Cost

Accounting costs refers to the explicit costs which ar the actual costs related to the business venture. In this case that would be:

= Fuel costs + Seed costs  + Equipment

= 25,000 + 40,000 + 25,000

= $90,000

Economic cost

This includes the accounting costs and then adds the implicit costs which are the opportunity costs of choosing the current business venture. In this case it is the $20,000 they could have been making working at other occupations.

= Accounting cost + Salary foregone

= 90,000 + 20,000

= $110,000

Economic costs will always be higher than Accounting costs because they include both the accounting costs and opportunity costs.

In a Joint venture the investor and a local investor invests together to form a different organisation, in this method the organisations jointly own a newly formed organisation in which they both jointly decide the name and the local investor have knowledge about the local market which can be helpful if the customer taste is different than the investors market. In a Greenfield investment the investor purchases shares and bonds of an organisation already operating in the targeted market, in this way the investor will not be able to operate with the same name as in other markets as the organisation whose shares are purchased already will have a name which if changed all the goodwill will be lost.
