2. Exercise 8.2
Howard Bowen is a large-scale cotton farmer. The land and machinery he owns has a current market value of $8 million. Bowen owes his local bank $5
million. Last year Bowen sold $7 million worth of cotton. His variable operating costs were $5 million; accounting depreciation was $40,000, although
the actual decline in value of Bowen's machinery was $60,000 last year. Bowen paid himself a salary of $50,000, which is not considered part of his
variable operating costs. Interest on his bank loan was $400,000. If Bowen worked for another farmer or a local manufacturer, his annual income
would be about $50,000. Bowen can invest any funds that would be derived if the farm were sold to earn 10% annually. (Ignore taxes.)
What is Bowen's accounting profit?
$1,560,000
$1,190,000.00
$1,200,000.00
