<span>If
a competitive firm can sell a ton of steel for $500 a ton and it has an average
variable cost of $400 a ton, and the marginal cost is $600 a ton, the firm
should reduce its output. The reason for the reduction of output is the
marginal cost it will have. The marginal cost exceeds the selling price of the
product which is a bad sign for the company.</span>
Answer:
(a) Journalize the payment of the bond interest on January 1, 2022.
Dr Interest payable - bonds payable 40,400
Cr Cash 40,400
The interest expense on the bonds payable should have been accrued on the 2021 balance sheet, that is why we debit interest payable and not interest expense.
(b) Assume that on January 1, 2022, after paying interest, Blossom calls bonds having a face value of $100,000. The call price is 103. Record the redemption of the bonds.
Dr Bonds payable 100,000
Dr Call premium 3,000
Cr Cash 103,000
(c) Prepare the adjusting entry on December 31, 2022, to accrue the interest on the remaining bonds.
interest expense = $405,000 x 8% = $32,400
Dr Interest expense - bonds payable 32,400
Cr Interest payable - bonds payable 32,400
Answer:
C) debit Rent Expense, $4,000; credit Prepaid Rent, $4,000.
Explanation:
July 1, prepaid rent fro 6 months
Dr Prepaid rent 24,000
Cr Cash
July 31, adjusting entry to record rent expense
Dr Rent expense 4,000
Cr Prepaid rent 4,000
total prepaid rent = 24,000 for six months
after one month, 24,000 / 6 = 4,000 must be recorded as rent expense and prepaid rent must be credited.

Explanation:
Economic profit is the difference between the revenue a firm earns from sales and the firm's total opportunity costs. It is important to distinguish between accounting profit and economic profit. Accounting profit is total revenue minus the explicit costs of producing goods or services. Economic profit includes the opportunity costs a company losses or gains by choosing a route to pursue revenue. If a firm has an economic profit of zero, it implies the company should start looking for alternative ways to generate income.
