Answer:

Implicit costs are opportunity costs. They are the cost of the next best alternative that one could have taken from the one they took.

Explicit costs are normal accounting costs which represent the expenses involved in running a business.

a. The wages and utility bills that Charles pays. EXPLICIT COSTS.

These are normal accounting expenses so they are explicit costs.

b. The wholesale cost for the guitars that Charles pays the manufacturer. EXPLICIT COSTS.

Another cost of doing business so this is explicit as well.

c. The rental income Charles could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom. IMPLICIT COST.

By not renting out his showroom and using it instead, he is losing the rental income he could be making so this is an implicit cost.

d. The salary Charles could earn if he worked as a financial advisor. IMPLICIT COST.

Another income he could be making if he wasn't selling guitars. This make it an implicit cost.

Which of the following is true of water budgets?
zysi [14]

Answer:

B. In the winter, when water use is low, precipitation exceeds evapotranspiration

Explanation:

A water budget can be seen as the relationship between the inflow and outflow of water through a specified region.  It gives a general Idea of the relationship between the demand and supply of water in that region.

Evapotransipration is the loss of water from the soil through evaporation from the soil and other surfaces and by transpiration from plants, while precipitation refers to  rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.

During winters due to the cold temperatures, the rate of water loss from the soil and from plants is much lower than the amount of precipitation which is on form of snow.

Snow covers most of the soil, freezing the soil water at the surface of the soil, making it difficult for evapotranspiration to occur. In addition to that, most deciduous trees shed their leaves during this period further reducing the total amount of transpiration in that region.

This makes option B correct

jekas [21]

Answer:

B) the other firm does not view the announcement as credible

Explanation:

The reason is that the other firm thinks that the announcing firm will make losses as it will not be able to sell the products in an imperfect market where both the firms have identical cost functions and knew all about the cost. So increasing the production when the demand is the same will decrease the price of the product and result in increased losses to the announcing company.

Daffy Duct, Inc. issued 10,000 shares of no-par value common stock at $10 per share. Miss Hap, the bookkeeper, recorded the tran
Westkost [7]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

When a company issues shares, ‘cash’ is debited because money has come into the firm (debit means addition). ‘Equity’ is credited however because it is money the business is owing to the business owners (credit means negative)

Equity is always a credit balance when new shares are issued. It means the business is owing more to the business owners.

Note that Equity is a credit balance (in negative position) while Asset is a debit balance (positive)

In our case, we have added more business owners by getting more money to the business to the tune of $100,000. We will therefore credit equity by -$100,000). Since money came in, we also debit cash by adding an equivalent +$100,000.  

The entry is therefore balanced and correct!
