Answer:

a. $700,000

86%

c. No

Explanation:

a. Jacobs will earn $700,000 per year. This equals the normal salary for a designer, $100,000, plus the economic rent he collects for his special talent, $600,000.  

6/7 or 0.857 or 86% of his salary is thus economic rent. This is found by 600,000/700,000

b. The answer is No. If Jacobs’s employer withholds some of the additional revenue it takes in as a result of hiring him, some other advertising company will offer him a higher salary and still manage to earn an economic profit. Bidding for Jacobs will continue until firms are indifferent between paying him $600,000 and hiring any other designer for $100,000.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

III. I, II, III, and IV.

  • I. It is part of the double-entry procedure that keeps the accounting equation in balance.
  • II. It represents a decrease to assets.
  • III. It represents an increase to liabilities.
  • IV. It is on the right side of a T-account.

Explanation:

The debit-credit balance is necessary for maintaining the accounting equation in balance, i.e. all the debits must have a corresponding credit.

Asset accounts increase when they are debited and decrease when they are credited.

Liabilities accounts decrease when they are debited and increase when they are credited.

Debits are on the left side of a t-account and credits are on the right side.
