As one recommendation of a type of innovation that would permanently expand the productive capacity of the economy, your Policy Brief team has modelled the effects of investing in scientific research that would develop ways to more effectively use renewable energy sources in production methods. This new innovation could then be widely disseminated for uptake by businesses throughout the economy. This new innovation would bring down the production costs for businesses, and enable the economy to make even more productive use of our existing resources. Illustrate the predicted effects of renewable energy innovation using an AD-AS diagram. Provide bullet points to explain what is happening in your diagram. As with all of your diagrams, be sure to indicate the original and new equilibrium points, and what happens to output and price level

Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship has been described as the "capacity and willingness to develop, organize and manage a business venture along with any of its risks to make a profit."  

Schumpeter identified innovation as the critical dimension of economic change. He argued that economic change revolves around innovation, entrepreneurial activities, and market power. He sought to prove that innovation-originated market power can provide better results than the invisible hand and price competition.

He argued that technological innovation often creates temporary monopolies, allowing abnormal profits that would soon be competed away by rivals and imitators. These temporary monopolies were necessary to provide the incentive for firms to develop new products and processes.

1) How the concept of entrepreneurship can help you to explain a cultural norm or institution in society?

Sunland Corp. has 149,080 shares of common stock outstanding. In 2020, the company reports income from continuing operations before income tax of $1,217,100. Additional transactions not considered in the $1,217,100 are as follows.

1. In 2020, Sunland Corp. sold equipment for $35,600. The machine had originally cost $80,500 and had accumulated depreciation of $34,300. The gain or loss is considered non-recurring.
2. The company discontinued operations of one of its subsidiaries during the current year at a loss of $197,400 before taxes. Assume that this transaction meets the criteria for discontinued operations. The loss from operations of the discontinued subsidiary was $93,300 before taxes; the loss from disposal of the subsidiary was $104,100 before taxes.
3. An internal audit discovered that amortization of intangible assets was understated by $35,300 (net of tax) in a prior period. The amount was charged against retained earnings.
4. The company recorded a non-recurring gain of $128,000 on the condemnation of some of its property (included in the $1,217,100).


Analyze the above information and prepare an income statement for the year 2020, starting with income from continuing operations before income tax. Compute earnings per share as it should be shown on the face of the income statement. (Assume a total effective tax rate of 19% on all items, unless otherwise indicated.) (Round earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.47.)
