Answer:
Accounting profit is the difference between total revenue and accounting cost in which the accounting cost is containing only the explicit cost incurred. Economic profit is the difference between total revenue and total opportunity cost, the latter containing both the explicit cost and the implicit cost incurred.
Accounting profit = revenue - explicit cost
Accounting profit = 125,000 - (10000 + 20000)
Accounting profit = 95,000
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
Economic profit = 95,000 - (75000 + 5000)
Economic profit = 15,000
This implies that while accounting profit does not undertake implicit cost of economic activity (cost for which no explicit payment is made separately), economic profit does deduct them. Now economic profit is positive, Jolene should open Little Barks.
