Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

C) $4,000

Explanation:

To calculate economic profit we can use the following formula:

economic profit = total revenue - (accounting costs + implicit costs) = (total revenue - accounting cost) - implicit costs

where:

accounting profit = total revenue - accounting cost = $50,000
implicit costs: ($20,000 x 5%) + $45,000 = $1,000 + $45,000 = $46,000

economic profit = $50,000 - $46,000 = $4,000

Answer:

$12,000

Explanation:

The main difference between cash basis accounting and accrual accounting is that accrual accounting recognizes revenue only after the earning process is completed. On the other hand, cash basis accounting recognizes revenue and expenses when the money is received or paid, regardless of when the service is provided. This is why the US GAAP doesn't allow cash basis accounting.

The IRS allows cash basis accounting for individuals and small businesses that only deal with cash payments, but they must meet certain criteria:

partnerships or C corporations with less than $5 million in yearly revenue
sole proprietorships and S corporations with less than $1 million in yearly revenues
family owned farms
you provide personal services and 95% of your revenue comes from it
no publicly traded corporation is allowed
