Answer 1

The accounting cost and the economic cost associated with​ Joe's computer software business is $75,00 and the $165,000 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the accounting cost and the economic cost is shown below:

Accounting cost = Other Expenses + Salary paid to himself

= $35000 + $40,000

= $75,000

Economic cost = Accounting cost + Salary expense + Rent expenses

= $75,000 + $65,000 + $25,000

= $165,000
