Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": economists include opportunity cost in zero economic profit, while accountants do not include opportunity cost in zero profit.
Explanation:
Normal profit is an economic term that means zero economic profits. To an economist, this is normal since total revenue equals total cost which includes both explicit and implicit costs. It differs from the accounting profit or zero profits since the latter does not take into consideration implicit cost.

Explanation:
a. One issue is the "locking-in" of assets. If I hold shares of Corporation X, then I can delay paying taxes as long as I don't sell. Effectively, I get to keep all of the interest/dividend payments on my tax liability. However, if I discover that X is really a poor investment and Corporation Y is better, then selling X and buying Y means that I have to pay taxes. This might discourage me from making a switch to a more profitable/efficient investment decision. This is the "locking-in" effect.
b. A short-run cut might cause many people to sell stocks that they had felt "locked-in" with. The penalty for switching is smaller, so more people will do it -- resulting in a great deal of cap gains tax revenue collected.
c. Taxing realized gains, even when the stock is not sold, rather than just accrued gains would eliminate this locking-in effect. Investors would not be penalized for switching to a better investment, and long-term capital gains revenue (as well as efficiency) would rise.
Answer:
$55,826
Explanation:
The computation of year 4 cash flow is shown below:
= Operating cash flow + required net working capital + after cash flow arise from salvage value
where,
Operating cash flow is $47,000
Required net working capital is $3,800
After cash flow arise from salvage value is
= Sale value - gain on salvage value × tax rate
The gain on salvage value is
= $5,400 - $3,800
= $1,100
So the after cash flow arise is
= $5,400 - $1,100 × 34%
= $5,400 - $374
= $5,026
Now the year 4 cash flow is
= $47,000 + $3,800 + $5,026
= $55,826
