Question

Katherine gives piano lessons for $20 per hour. She also grows flowers, which she arranges and sells at the local farmer’s market. One day she spends 5 hours planting $50 worth of seeds in her garden. Once the seeds have grown into flowers, she can sell them for $150 at the farmer’s market. Katherine’s accounting profits are___________

Answer 1

Answer:$100

Explanation:

Accounting profit is total earnings less total cost.

Accounting profit = Total revenue - Total cost

$150 - $50 = $100

Economic profit = Accounting profit - Opportunity cost

$100 - ($20 ×5) = 0
