Answer:

a. Economic profit is the excess of revenue over both opportunity (implicit) and explicit costs.  Explicit costs are the cost of all inputs used.

b. The difference between economic profit and accounting profit is that in calculating economic profit, both the explicit costs and the implicit or opportunity costs are deducted from the revenue.  Whereas, in computing the accounting profit, only the explicit costs are deducted from the revenue.

c. Economists measure economic profit rather than accounting profit because economists believe that the real cost of an output includes the economic or opportunity cost (potential benefits lost as a result of the course of action chosen).

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the implicit cost incurred, which is equal to the potential benefits lost by an individual or a business, when an alternative is chosen instead of the other alternative.  It is an important concept in the computation of economic profit.  The concept ensures that both implicit and explicit costs are considered when determining the profits generated by a business.

Each year a cash grant is given to a deserving college student. The grant consists of the interest earned that year on a $440,00
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The cash award will be equal;l to $444422.01

Explanation:

We have given amount invested P = $440000

Rate of interest r = 8.3%

Time t = 1 year

As the amount is compounded on daily basis

We know that 1 year = 365 days

So rate of interest r=\frac{1}{365}=0.00273 %

Time period n = 365

We know that final amount is equal to A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^n

So A=440000(1+\frac{0.00273}{100})^{365}=444422.01$

So the cash award will be equal;l to $444422.01
