Answer:

Cost of 4 days time: In terms of earnings sacrifised from those working days, or any qualitative value of that time.

Explanation:

Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative sacrifised while choosing an alternative.

It might be material, immaterial .

  • Eg1: Working at Job1 with salary 10000, having other job option with salary 8000. Opportunity cost of Job1 is Job2 salary.
  • Eg2: Me preferring Chapati over rice, opportunity cost of consuming Chapati is rice' satisfaction.

Eg 1 has material (monetary) opportunity cost i.e salary. Eg 2 has immaterial opportunity cost i.e satisfaction.

Admission ticket for Bonnarro would have had opportunity cost = its price i.e $554.50 as the amount sacrifised to get that. However: as given the ticket is gifted free ; the opportunity cost of that is 4 days time sacrifised to attend it. The value of that sacrifised time may be in form of :- earnings lost from those 4 working days sacrifised (material) ; or 4 days time to be spent with family sacrifised (immaterial).

A company's flexible budget for 24,000 units of production showed total contribution margin of $93,600 and fixed costs, $31,200.
Levart [38]

Answer:

a. $81,900.

Explanation:

The contribution margin per unit is obtained by dividing the total contribution margin by the 24,000 units produced.

CM = \frac{\$93,600}{24,000} = \$3.9\ per\ unit

The expected operating income is given by the contribution margin minus the fixed costs. For 29,000 units sold, the operating income is:

I = \$3.9*29,000 - \$31,200\\I=\$81,900

The answer is a. $81,900.

"You plan to buy a piece of machinery worth $50,000 then you plan to sell it at the end of its 15-year life cycle for $5,000. Wh
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

$3,000 and $35,000

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

The depreciation expense would be

=(Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($50,000 - $5,000) ÷ (15 years)

= ($45,000) ÷ (15 years)  

= $3,000

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life

The book value would be

= (Original cost of equipment) - (depreciation × number of years)

= ($50,000) - ($3,000 × 5 years)

= $50,000 - $15,000

= $35,000

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

A) They would be indifferent, as Sally's income net of costs equals $25,000.

Explanation:

Sally's economic profit = accounting profit - opportunity costs

  • accounting profit = $12,000
  • opportunity costs = $25,000 - $15,000 in lost salaries + $2,000 (lost investment revenue) = $12,000

economic profit = $12,000 - $12,000 = $0

Since the economic profit is $0, Sally should be indifferent between running her own business or working for someone else.

Olenka [21]

Answer:The Pet Company has recently discovered a type of rock which, when crushed, is extremely absorbent. It is expected that the firm will experience (beginning now) an unusually high growth rate (20%) during the period (3 years) when it has exclusive rights to the property where this rock can be found. However, beginning with the fourth year the firm's competition will have access to the material, and from that time on the firm will assume a normal growth rate of 8% annually. During the rapid growth period, the firm's dividend payout ratio will be relatively low (20%), to conserve funds for reinvestment. However, the decrease in growth will be accompanied by an increase in dividend payout to 50%. Last year's earnings were $2.00 per share (E0) and the firm's cost of equity is 10%. What should be the current price of the common stock?
