This is an accounting question.
Please help!



(Alternative Measures of Profit) Calculate the accounting profit or loss as well as the economic profit or loss in each of the following situations:

a. A firm with total revenues of $150 million, explicit cost of $90 million, and implicit costs of $40 million
b. A firm with total revenues of $125 million, explicit cost of $100 million, and implicit costs of $30 million
c. A firm with total revenues of $100 million, explicit cost of $90 million, and implicit costs of $20 million
d. A firm with total revenues of $250,000, explicit cost of $275,000, and implicit costs of $50,000

accounting problem: target gross profit percentage?



If a firm seeks a 60% gross profit percentage, and the total unit cost of finished goods manufactured is $80, what is the Unit Sales Price required?
I got $128 and it was marked incorrect. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Is sales tax added to the entire profit?



For example in this problem:
The student council ordered 350 flowers to sell at school. The carnations cost $0.75 each and the roses cost $1.25 each. There are four times as many carnations as there are roses. If the sales tax rate is 7.75%, how much money did the student council collect.

Ok so in that do I add the sales tax to the total or subtract it away?

Help with Accounting Profit and Graphs?



I’m taking a wacky economics class and I’m really confused by one of the questions from the assignment the teacher gave. Can anyone help me?

Using an illustration explain how a firm might be:
a. Earning an accounting profit and zero economic profit
b. Earning an accounting profit and an economic profit
c. Earning an accounting profit and an economic loss
d. Be sure to explain in each case what will happen to the number of firms in the market place and why it will happen

Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

Great Income Opportunity
Katie L asked:


Liberals believe that believe in having the government help those who are less fortunate with more force and more government involvement greater opportunity and equality will be fashioned. Liberals hold the belief that things should be fair such as higher taxes for higher income, the rich should help the poor. Liberals want the government to step in and help the people. They believe the vast majority on welfare really need the help and want to get off welfare as soon as possible.

If you can think of anything to add to this let me know. I’m having trouble getting all of my ideas together.
