Answer:

a) 25,000

Explanation:

The computation of the economic profit is shown below;

Economic profit is

= Revenue - Explicit cost - Implicit cost

= $550,000 - $500,000 - $500,000 × 5%

= $550,000 - $500,000 - $25000

= $25,000

Hence, the economic profit on this deal was $25,000

Therefore the correct option is a.

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered

True or False: When economic profit is zero, producers do not have any incentive to deviate from the current line of production.
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

1. True

2. True

3. True

Explanation:

1. Economic profit is the explicit and implicit costs are subtracted from total revenues. After deducting all the costs from revenue, if we get the zero economic profit, the producers do not get enough chance to have much incentive from the current line of production, or they cannot deviate it from the production level. That is why it is the correct answer.

2. It is true statement. An example can easily show why the statement is true.

Quantity      Per unit revenue         Total revenue       Marginal Revenue TR_{2}  - TR_{1}

0                              0                                  0                            -

1                               4                                  4                         (4 - 0) = 4

2                              4                                  8                         (8 - 4) = 4

3                              4                                  12                       (12 - 8) = 4

4                              4                                  16                      (16 - 12) = 4

So, the statement under perfect competition is true.

3. The statement is true. The shutdown price in the short-run is that the average variable cost is higher than the price per unit. When the average variable cost is higher than the price per unit, it is a competitive firm's minimum supply price in the short-run. It can happen due to the entrance of the new competitors in the entire market.

nadezda [96]

Answer:

170,000

Explanation:

With $600,000 of book income, the potential total book tax expense is $210,000 ($600,000 × 35%). However, the release of the $40,000 valuation allowance in the current year allows an additional $40,000 of future tax benefits (savings) to be considered in the current year. Accordingly, the total tax expense is $170,000 ($210,000 – $40,000).

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Forbid combinations in restraint of trade and monopolizing.

Explanation:

The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 is mainly aimed at preventing anti competitive agreements and unilateral conduct by a group of businesses aligning with one another. Such alignment results in restraint of trade and monopoly.

This Act enables the Department of Justice to bring charges against violators of antitrust laws and they may face as much as treble damages (three times of the damage caused to other parties).

Artificial raising of price and restriction of supply of products or trade are prohibited under this Act.
