Answer: The answers are given below
Explanation:
a. What is its percentage rate of return?
From the question, we are told that the firm is earning $5.50 on every $50 invested by its founders. The percentage of return will now be:
= $5.50/$50 × 100%
= 0.11 × 100%
= 11%
b. Is the firm earning an economic profit? If so, how large?
The economic profit will be the difference that exists between the percentage of return which is 11% and the normal rate of profit which is 5%. This will be:
= 11% - 5%
= 6%
The firm is earning economic profit of 6%.
c. Will this industry see entry or exit?
There will be entry into the industry. This is because the percentage of return which is 11% is greater than the normal rate of profit which is 5%.
d. What will be the rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium?
The rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium will be 5% which is the normal rate of profit in the economy.

The remaining $1,000 must be carried forward so that he can use them in the future, probably next year he will add them to his deductions. If a business losses money, the government pay you anything, taxes only work one way, you have to pay.

A contingent liability is an obligation that a company might owe in future depending on the outcome of an event such as a law suit.
To record a contingent liability in the books, two conditions must be satisfied;
- Loss must be probable
- Amount must be estimable
If these two conditions are not satisfied then the contingent liability may simply be disclosed as a footnote in the financial statement. The amount here is not estimable so can be disclosed as a footnote.
