Jessica has been working for a law firm and earning an annual salary of $90,000. She decides to open her own practice. Her annual expenses were $15,000 for office rent, $1,700 for supplies, $800 for utilities, and a $30,000 salary for a secretary/bookkeeper. Jessica covered her start-up expenses by cashing in a $20,000 certificate of deposit on which she was earning annual interest of $500. (The $20,000 was spent on furniture and at the end of the year the furniture is still in the office, assuming there is no depreciation, so the $20,000 from the certificate of deposit is not a cost). Her practice generated $150,000 revenue in the first year. Please show calculations thank you! Calculate Jessica's Implicit & explicit costs. Calculate Jessica's Economic costs and economics profit.

In the fall, Jay Thompson decided to live in a university dormitory. He signed a dorm contract under which he was obligated to pay the room rent for the full college year. One clause stated that if he moved out during the year, he could sell his dorm contract to another student who would move into the dormitory as his replacement. The dorm cost was $6300 for the two semesters, which Jay had already paid. A month after he moved into the dorm, he decided he would prefer to live in an apartment.

Cindy and Steven are recently married and are both chefs. They have recently graduated from culinary school and are making a starting salary of $15.00 as a sous-chef. They both work 10 hour days, six days a week. Because they are chefs at a mid- level restaurant they live in the downtown core where it is located. The rent on their one bedroom apartment is $1125/month. This includes all utilities. However, they pay an additional $75 for cable and internet. Their joint cell phone bill is $60.00 and they opt not to have a landline to save money. Because they live downtown they have also chosen not to buy a car and spend about $200 a month on public transportation. They eat most meals for free at the restaurant where they work so their grocer bill is only about $200 a month. Do Cindy and Steven earn enough money to cover their expenses

Tork teaches guitar lessons in the guitar store, where he makes $32,000 per KSrear (which we can think of being paid out at the end of each year). He could reasily repurpose his skills to become a music teacher in the public schools, but doing so would require him to get a master's degree. Starting a master's program today would cost $24,000 immediately and $24,000 one year from now in tuition, and takes two full years to complete. If Tork gets his degree, he'll work in the public schools for 30 years thereafter and get $41,000 per year (paid at the end of the year). Otherwise, Tork will stay at his current job for the next 32 years. Should Tork get his master's? You may evaluate the options jointly or separately. Tork's discount rate is 3.7%:.
