Economan has been infected by the free enterprise bug. He sets up a firm on extraterrestrial affairs. The rent of the building i

s $6,000, the cost of the two secretaries is $42,000, and the cost of electricity and gas comes to $7,000. There’s a great demand for his information, and his total revenue amounts to $130,000. By working in the firm, though, Economan forfeits the $65,000 he could earn by working for the Friendly Space Agency and the $6,000 he could have earned as interest had he saved his funds instead of putting them in this business.

Answer:

There are two types of profit and costs in nay business, which are accounting costs/profit and the economic costs/profits.

Answer:

$4,000

Explanation:

A) accounting profit only considers explicit revenues and costs which have clearly defined monetary values:

total revenue =              $130,000

rent =                               ($6,000)

secretaries' salaries =  ($42,000)

<u>utilities =                          ($7,000)</u>

accounting profit =        $75,000

B) economic profit considers both explicit revenues and costs plus opportunity costs. Opportunity costs are the extra costs or benefits lost resulting from choosing one activity or investment over another alternative.

economic profit = accounting profit - opportunity costs

  • accounting profit = $75,000
  • forfeited salary = ($65,000)
  • lost interest revenue = ($6,000)

economic profit = $75,000 - $65,000 - $6,000 = $4,000
