Sixty-year-old Wanda Davis retired from her computer consulting business in Boston and moved to Florida. There she met 27-year-old Ava Jain, who had just graduated from Eldon Community College with an associate degree in computer science. Wanda and Ava formed a partnership called D&J Computer Consultants. Wanda contributed $50,000 for startup costs and devoted one-half time to the business. Ava devoted full time to the business.

Variable operating costs are expected to remain the same percentage of sales, even with the added laptop sales. Fixed operating costs would be unchanged. Meredith and James are aware that increased sales will mean they need to maintain additional inventory and…
Consider the following scenario in relation to your Notary, Loan Signing Agent and Marriage officiant practice in Hawaii and determine the opportunity cost of leaving your job to become an entrepreneur. You currently make $90,000 per year at your job plus benefits (equal to 30% of your salary). On January 1 of the New Year, you start your own business. After the first year, your accountant informs you that you made $45,000 and out of that you paid $6,000 for health insurance. What was your opportunity cost? If your opportunity cost is higher than you would like, how can you lower your opportunity cost in the future years?
