Answer:

  1. a. $950,000.
  2. $150,000.
  3. a. $1,115,000.
  4. d. -$15,000.
  5. b. the difference between what a person currently makes and what they would earn in their best alternative.

Explanation:

1. Chris's accounting costs

The accounting cost reflects the explicit expenses of the venture. They are the usual costs;

= Parts and materials needed for restoration + Salaries of employees + His salary + Rent along with utilities

= 400,000 + 360,000 + 110,000 + 80,000

= $‭950,000‬

2. Chris's accounting profits

= Revenue - Accounting cost

= 1,100,000 - 950,000

= $150,000

3. Chris's economic cost

These consist of explicit costs plus implicit (opportunity) costs.

The opportunity cost represents the next best option which amounts to $275,000 should he have taken the position with Jay Leno as a personal auto restorer.

This means forgoing the $110,000 he makes currently.

= Accounting cost + Foregone salary - Current salary

= 950,000 + 275,000  - 110,000

= $1,115,000

4. Chris's economic profit

= 1,100,000 - 1,115,000

= -$15,000

5. b. the difference between what a person currently makes and what they would earn in their best alternative.

The value that distinguishes the lowest 25% of data from the highest 75% is -0.00235. Previous concepts: Normal distribution, which describes a "probability distribution that is balanced around the mean, indicating that data close to the mean occur more frequently than those further away from it". The Z-score is "a statistical measurement relating a value to the mean of a set of values, in terms of its distance in standard deviations from the mean". To solve the problem, let X represent the variable of interest in a population; we know the distribution for X is given by:... We want to find a value a to satisfy the condition:... Both conditions here are equivalent. We can apply the Z-score again to find the value a. The figure shows that the z value meeting the condition with 0.25 of the area to the left and 0.75 to the right is z = -0.674. Therefore, P(Z < -0.674) = 0.25 and P(z > -0.674) = 0.75. We can use condition (b) previously to derive... We know the z value that satisfies the equation, so we can proceed to solve for a, which gives us... Thus, the value that separates the lower 25% of data from the upper 75% is -0.00235.
