a. Calculate Tilly’s accounting profit.
b. Suppose that in order to open her trilby business Tilly gave up a $250,000 per year job as a buyer at a high-end department store. Calculate Tilly’s economic profit.
c. Tilly is considering purchasing a building across the street and moving her company into that new location. The cost of the building is $5,000,000, which will be fully financed at a simple interest rate of 5 percent per year. Interest payments are paid annually on the last day of Tilly’s fiscal year. The first interest payment will be due next year. Principal will be repaid in 10 equal installments beginning at the end of the fifth year. Calculate Tilly’s accounting profit and economic profit for the next fiscal year.
d. Based upon your answer to part c, should Tilly buy the new building? Explain.

The farmer produces 899 bushels of wheat at a total cost of $6 per bushel. He sells all of the wheat to Firm F for $11 per bushel. Firm F produces 500 pounds of flour from the wheat at a total cost of $23 per pound (including the amount paid to the farmer for the wheat). Firm F sells 475 pounds of flour to consumers for $31 per pound. There are no other firms in this simple economy. What is the value of investment spending?

On January 1, 2014, Stark Company purchased equipment for a total cost of $155,000. The equipment had an estimated useful life of 7 years and an estimated residual value of $43,000. Straight-line depreciation was used. On September 1, 2020, Stark Company disposes of the equipment. Required: Prepare the journal entry to record the disposition on September 1, 2020 assuming the equipment was sold for $39,000 cash. Prepare the journal entry to record the disposition on September 1, 2020 assuming the equipment was exchanged for $30,000 cash and a machine valued at $30,000

The table shows the total 4-year cost (in thousands of dollars) and the Graduation rate (nearest percentage) from 4 randomly selected colleges/universities in the U.S.
| Cost, x | 250 | 138 | 81 | 85 |
| Graduation Rate, y | 83 | 92 | 57 | 32 |
The mean of x is 138.5 The standard deviation of x is 78.742
The mean of y is 66 The standard deviation of y is 27.092
The deviations and the z-scores for each x and y value are given below: Note: I tried my best with the tables below. BlackBoard has some issues with some of the font and symbols that were used.
| (x - x̄ ) |
(y - ȳ ) |

| -57.5 | -9 | -0.730 | -0.332 | ||
| -53.5 | -34 | -0.679 | -1.255 |
a) Show the equations along with plugging the values into the corresponding equation on how the mean of the y values and the standard deviation of the y values were obtained. You may use a table above to help you with the standard deviation.
b) Find the correlation coefficient. You may use any of the tables above for help or any other equation method (Just stating the answer from a graphing calculator/technology will receive only 0 or 1 point for this question). Round the answer to 3 decimal places.
