1. Definition of economic costs
Darnell lives in Dallas and operates a small company selling scooters. On average, he receives $714,000 per year from selling scooters. Out of this revenue from sales, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $414,000. He also pays several utility companies, as well as his employees wages totaling $267,000. He owns the building that houses his storefront; if he choose to rent it out, he would receive a yearly amount of $3,000 in rent. Assume there is no depreciation in the value of his property over the year. Further, if Darnell does not operate the scooter business, he can work as a nurse and earn a yearly salary of $21,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his storefront at the $3,000 per year rate. There are no other costs faced by Darnell in running this scooter company.

Equipment costing $130,000 is expected to have a residual value of $10,000 at the end of its six-year useful life. The equipment is metered so that the number of units processed is counted. The equipment is designed to process 1,000,000 units in its lifetime. In 2019 and 2020, the equipment processed 180,000 units and 140,000 units respectively. Calculate the depreciation expense for 2019 and 2020 using each of the following methods:

Draw a pie chart which indicates the total amount of time spent doing each activity. Include all 8 sections even if you have zero hours spent in the activity. This can be done by hand, or you produce a computerized pie chart. You will want a visual representation of where you time is being spend.
Pie chart specifics:
1. Present on a 35 Xl chortet or paper, making pie chart as LARGE as possble
3. Present the activities in this order (starting from the 'top' and going clock-wise and colour the pie pieces in the specified colour:
• Sleep - black
• Personal maintenance - blue
• Travel- white
• Paid Work- red
• School- orange
Fitness - yellow
Recreation - purple
• Volunteer Work - green
HERE COMES THE TRICKY PART, Math is required!
4. First:
To find the percentage of time for each of the 8 categories, total the number of
hours spent over the 3 days on that activity.
E.g. Tuesday recorded 8 hrs sleep, Wednesday recorded 8 hrs sleep, Thursday
recorded 8 hrs sleep = 8hrs × 3 days =24 total hrs of sleep
Second:
• To calculate the percentage of your time being spent on each activity.
Formula: Take the total number of hours in the activity and divide it by total number of hours monitored and then multiply by 100
E.g. Spent total of 24hrs in sleep category, monitored over 72 hrs.
24 tlsleep hours divided by 72 total hours monitored = 0.33 × 100 = 33% in Sleep category.
Complete the same thing for the remaining 7 categories. When you add the total percentages for each category you should add to 100%.
You do not have to show your work, just put the percentage number on each pie slice and the category name.
Analysis of results: Review the percentages in each category and identify which areas you are spending the most time with and if you deem it as high, what is the rationale for that, for those areas you deem as low (e.g. fitness), why is it low, and are you okay with that.
