s. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $452,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $301,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $38,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year.

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

Luden [163]

Answer:

Beta Corp.

A. Arnold = Agent (Arnold exercises significant power on behalf of the Beta's Board of Directors).

B. Carol = Agent-Employee (Carol does not exercise significant power on behalf of the principal (the Board of Directors of Beta).  Instead, she is subject to Beta's control)

C. Dave = Agent-Employee, just like Carol.  He is a mere employee subject to Beta's control.

D. Fred = Independent Contractor because he controls and directs the result of his work, though he does not decide the work or how it should be done.

Explanation:

Principal = a person who assigns the agent to act on her behalf.

Agent = a person who the principal authorizes to exercise significant power on her behalf.

Agent-employee = an employee of a company.  The employee does not exercise the right of control and direction of the results of her work.

Independent contractor = a person who exercises the right of control and direction for work result, and not how and what is done.
