- My banker of over 20 years
- I would give the business plan to my family members because they are the easiest people to raise funds from and also because family, can decide to contribute in cash or in-kind with no interest required.

Accounting Profit is $62000.
Economic Profit is -$3000. (a loss of $3000)
Explanation:
a)
Explicit costs are those costs incurred by a business that require an outlay of money as a result of operating a business.
Implicit costs, on the other hand, are the costs that do not require an outlay of money as a result of operating a business. They are instead the opportunity costs of operating a business or the benefits that are foregone.
1. The wages and utility bills are a result of operating a business and requires and outlay of money as their payment. They are <u>explicit costs.</u>
2. The rental income could have been earned if Larry rented the showroom he is using to operate his business from. The rent foregone is an opportunity cost and is an <u>implicit cost.</u>
3. The salary Larry could have earned is also something that Brian has to forego to operate his business and is an <u>implicit cost.</u>
<u />
4. The cost of purchases paid to manufacturer requires outlay of money and is an <u>explicit cost.</u>
<u />
b)
Accounting profit = Total Revenue - Total explicit cost
Economic profit = Total revenue - (Total Explicit Cost + Total Implicit Cost)
Accounting Profit = 793000 - 430000 - 301000 = $62000 profit
Economic profit = 793000 - (430000 + 301000 + 15000 + 50000) = -$3000 loss
