Hello, yes it's actually common for people to give up their home to avoid further payment only if their lender agrees and allows that to happen. But of course, the remaining balance (the difference of the house value and what's left of the mortgage) must be paid. Walking away from an underwater mortgage can seriously affect that person's financial future and by extent his/her relationship with the community. His/Her credit score will go down with this, it may be difficult for him/her to qualify for another mortgage in the future. Another reason is that - in most states, it is completely legal for lenders to go after the difference (deficiency) because technically they own that and have rights to it.
Answer:
a)
1. Explicit cost
2. Implicit Cost
3. Implicit Cost
4. Explicit cost
b)
Accounting Profit is $62000.
Economic Profit is -$3000. (a loss of $3000)
Explanation:
a)
Explicit costs are those costs incurred by a business that require an outlay of money as a result of operating a business.
Implicit costs, on the other hand, are the costs that do not require an outlay of money as a result of operating a business. They are instead the opportunity costs of operating a business or the benefits that are foregone.
1. The wages and utility bills are a result of operating a business and requires and outlay of money as their payment. They are <u>explicit costs.</u>
2. The rental income could have been earned if Larry rented the showroom he is using to operate his business from. The rent foregone is an opportunity cost and is an <u>implicit cost.</u>
3. The salary Larry could have earned is also something that Brian has to forego to operate his business and is an <u>implicit cost.</u>

4. The cost of purchases paid to manufacturer requires outlay of money and is an <u>explicit cost.</u>
<u />
b)
Accounting profit = Total Revenue - Total explicit cost
Economic profit = Total revenue - (Total Explicit Cost + Total Implicit Cost)
Accounting Profit = 793000 - 430000 - 301000 = $62000 profit
Economic profit = 793000 - (430000 + 301000 + 15000 + 50000) = -$3000 loss
Answer:
a. a good that is not counted in GDP.
Explanation:
Leisure is not counted in GDP if the leisure activity does not have a market value, and is not exchanged in the markeplace.
For example, going for a walk, or sitting at a park to read are leisure activities that are not considered economically productive, and therefore, are not counted in GDP.
Answer:
4.00
Explanation:
Given:
Upper Specification Limit, USL = 27
Lower Specification Limit, LSL = 21
Mean = 22
Standard deviation, 
= 0.25
Required:
Find the process capability index
First center the mean by taking the average of the LSL and USL.
Use formula below to find process capability index:
![C_p_i = min [(\frac{USL - X}{3*\sigma}), (\frac{X - LSL}{3*\sigma})]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20C_p_i%20%3D%20min%20%5B%28%5Cfrac%7BUSL%20-%20X%7D%7B3%2A%5Csigma%7D%29%2C%20%28%5Cfrac%7BX%20-%20LSL%7D%7B3%2A%5Csigma%7D%29%5D%20)
![C_p_i = min [(\frac{27 - 24}{3*0.25}), (\frac{24 - 21}{3*0.25})]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20C_p_i%20%3D%20min%20%5B%28%5Cfrac%7B27%20-%2024%7D%7B3%2A0.25%7D%29%2C%20%28%5Cfrac%7B24%20-%2021%7D%7B3%2A0.25%7D%29%5D%20)
![= min [(\frac{3}{0.75}), (\frac{3}{0.75})]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%3D%20min%20%5B%28%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B0.75%7D%29%2C%20%28%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B0.75%7D%29%5D%20)
![min [ (4.00), (4.00)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20min%20%5B%20%284.00%29%2C%20%284.00%29%5D%20)
We are sullosed to take the minimum value, but since both values are equal, our process capability index will be 4.00
Therefore, the process capability index = 4.00
