Expert Solution

a) Computation of the explicit cost:-

 Explicit costs = Annual lease on building + Utilities costs + Payments to workers

= $22,000 + $8,000 + $120,000

= $150,000

 

b) Computation of the implicit cost:-

Implicit costs = $50,000 + $6,000 + $80,000

= $136,000

 

c) Computation of the total economic costs:-

Total economic costs = Explicit costs + Implicit costs

 = $150,000 + $136,000

= $286,000

                                                                                                       

 d) Computation of the accounting profit:-

Accounting profit = $380,000 - $22,000 - $120,000 - $8,000

= $230,000

                            

e) Computation of the economic profit:-

Economic Profit = $380,000 - $22,000 - $120,000 - $8,000 - $50,000 - $6,000 - $80,000

= $94,000

 

f) Computation of the new accounting profit:-

New accounting profit = $286,000 - $22,000 - $120,000 - $8,000

= $136,000

 

Computation of the new economic profit:-

New economic profit = $286,000 - $22,000 - $120,000 - $8,000 - $50,000 - $6,000 - $80,000

= $0
