One Year Ago, Ms

question 67

Essay

One year ago, Ms. Case and Mr. Bond opened a jewelry store called T & J. They invested $1,000,000 of their savings into the partnership to buy equipment and initial inventory. They rented a building for $90,000 a year, and hired two employees for an annual wage of $40,000 each. Case and Bond believed that the best alternative investment of their money would be government bonds, which could yield an annual return of 8 percent. To run the store, Case quit her previous job, at which she earned $100,000, but her former boss told her that she was welcome to return anytime. Bond kept his job with the government, but gave up 6 hours of leisure each week (for 50 weeks), the time he used to spend playing golf. Bond used to say: "I'd only give up my golf time if someone paid me $100 an hour." During the first year of operation, T & J paid $20,000 for utilities and the firm's total revenue was $350,000. The market value of T & J's equipment was $200,000 at the beginning of the year and $170,000 at the end of the year.
a) What is the economic depreciation of their capital?
b) What are T & J's opportunity costs?
c) What is the firm's economic profit in the first year of operation?
