Answer:

The wholesale cost for the pianos that Darnell pays the manufacturer - explicit cost  

The salary Darnell could earn if he worked as an accountant - implicit cost

The wages and utility bills that Darnell pays - explicit cost  

The rental income Darnell could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom.-implicit cost

Explanation:

Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business.

They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials

Explicit cost is used in determining accounting profit

Implicit cost or opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives

Implicit cost is used in determining economic profit

If Darnell didn't use his showroom, he could have rented it out. Renting it out is his next best option that was forgone. Thus, it is an implicit cost

If Darnell didn't start his business, he could have been working as an accountant. The amount he could have earned as an accountant is his implicit cost

vodomira [7]

Answer:

The problem with variable rates is that they vary, i.e., they might unexpectedly increase and the increase might be pretty significant. One of the main factors leading to the Great Recession was the housing bubble and the increase in mortgage interest rates. Normally, interest rates tend to increase, they might sometimes decrease, but generally they only go up and up.

Even though the fixed interest rate might be higher, it will not change and that  guarantees that you will always pay the same amount and that you can prepare your personal budget to cover it.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The Journal entries are as follows:

(i) Sales revenue A/c  Dr. $900

          To Cash  $900

(To record the correction in sales revenue)

(ii) Merchandise Inventory A/c  Dr. $200

           To Cost of Goods sold  $200

(To record the merchandise returned)

Note:

(1) At the time of sale, the cash would have been debited with the amount of $900 and the sales revenue would have been credited with the amount of $900. Now, the cash of $900 should be credited as it was debited earlier.

(2) The inventory account also credited at the time sale, so it should be debited and the cost of goods sold debited at the time of original sale, so it need to be credited.
