Answer:

$1,150

Step-by-step explanation:

Implicit rental rate refers to the cost that a company incurred by spending money as opposed to what that money could earn if it were invested in something else. Therefore since in a year the computer was worth $1000 less and Wanda also lost out on the 5% that the savings account would have generated which would be $150. Then her total cost is that of $1,150
