Answer:
- Corporation
Explanation:
At least two people are required to form a corporation. The owners of a corporation are treated as separate entities from the business. The owners, also known as shareholders, enjoy limited liabilities to the debts of the corporation. In case of a liquidation, they cannot lose more than their capital contribution.
A sole proprietorship is owned by one person, but a partnership requires at least two people to form. The owners of sole proprietorships and partnerships have unlimited liabilities to the debts of their businesses. Should the businesses fail in meeting their obligations, owners' personal assets can be used to settle the outstanding debts.
Answer:
The answer is 5.73%
Explanation:
Given Coupon rate=5.5%; Years of maturity= 12years, Face value bonds= $1,000, Price=98.2
NPER= Years of maturity *2= 12*2=24
PMT= (Face value * coupon rate)/2= (1000*5.5)/2= 5500/2= 2.75
Therefore:
Rate = (NPER, PMT, -Price, Face value)= (24, 2.75, -98.2, 1000)= 2.87%
Yield to maturity= Rate *2= 2.87*2= 5.73%

Explanation:
a)
Explicit costs are those costs incurred by a business that require an outlay of money as a result of operating a business.
Implicit costs, on the other hand, are the costs that do not require an outlay of money as a result of operating a business. They are instead the opportunity costs of operating a business or the benefits that are foregone.
1. The wages and utility bills are a result of operating a business and requires and outlay of money as their payment. They are <u>explicit costs.</u>
2. The rental income could have been earned if Larry rented the showroom he is using to operate his business from. The rent foregone is an opportunity cost and is an <u>implicit cost.</u>
3. The salary Larry could have earned is also something that Brian has to forego to operate his business and is an <u>implicit cost.</u>

4. The cost of purchases paid to manufacturer requires outlay of money and is an <u>explicit cost.</u>
<u />
b)
Accounting profit = Total Revenue - Total explicit cost
Economic profit = Total revenue - (Total Explicit Cost + Total Implicit Cost)
Accounting Profit = 793000 - 430000 - 301000 = $62000 profit
Economic profit = 793000 - (430000 + 301000 + 15000 + 50000) = -$3000 loss
