Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is $47,000

Explanation:

Accounting profit profit doesn't consider opportunity cost. So the value for opportunity cost will be left out. It is Economic profit that considers opportunity cost.

Accounting profit = revenue - cost(explicit cost which is all cost involved in directly running the business e.g cost of sales, electricity cost, wage etc.)

Revenue = $64,000

Explicit cost = $17,000

Therefore, Accounting profit is

$64,000 - $17,000

=$47,000
