Answer:
(B) If the explicit cost for the consulting job is $25,000 per year, your economic profit is equal to $45000.
Explanation:
Economic profit is obtained by substracting explicit (monetary) costs, and implicit (opportunity) costs, from total earnings.
In this case, the earnings for working as an economic consultant are $100,000. The implicit, opportunity cost is the $30,000 that are given up because of quitting the serving job. If the explicit cost of renting an office, purchasing supplies and buying a computer is $25,000, then, we have the following equation:
Economic profit = earnings - explicit costs - implicit costs
= $100,000 - $25,000 - $30,000
= $45,000
Answer:
False
Explanation:
"An auditor is a watchdog and not a blood hound". The purpose of conducting an audit is to provide 'reasonable assurance" and not 'absolute assurance' to the management of an entity and users of financial statements.
An auditor cannot be held liable for any misstatement or fraud if he proves that he did his work diligently, and acted bona fide, and as per the evidence available to him, arrived at such an opinion.
But, in cases wherein an auditor has acted grossly negligent or colluded with management or window dressing of accounts, such auditor would be held personally liable and accountable. For e.g Enron case.
Answer:
(A) 8.22%
(B) 7.5%
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the average nominal return
Average nominal return= R1 + R2 + R3 + R4 + R5/5
= 16 +(-5) + 19 + 13 + 10/5
= 16-5+19+13+10/5
= 53/5
= 10.6%
(A) The average real return can be calculated as follows
= (1 + average nominal return)/(1+ inflation) -1
= (1+ 10.6/100)/(1+2.2/100) -1
= (1+0.106)/(1+0.022)-1
= 1.106/1.022-1
= 1.08219-1
= 0.08219 × 100
= 8.22%
(B) The average nominal risk premium can be calculated as follows
Average risk free rate= Nominal average t-Bill rate-inflation
= 5.3% - 2.2%
= 3.10%
Average nominal risk premium= average nominal return -average risk free rate
= 10.6% - 3.10%
= 7.5%
Consumption efficiency (Ec) is defined as a ratio, expressed as a percentage: a final output's effectual value divided by its potential value
