Answer:
b. The competitive pressures associated with rivalry among competing sellers in the industry for buyer patronage. 
Explanation:
The Porter’s five forces of competition is a framework developed by Michael E. Porter in 1979, it is used to measure and analyze an organization's competitiveness in a business environment.
The Porter's five forces of competition framework are:
1. The bargaining power of suppliers.
2. The bargaining power of customers.
3. Threat posed by substitute products.
4. Threats posed by new entrants.
5. Threats posed by existing rivals in the industry.
The most powerful of the five competitive forces is usually the competitive pressures associated with rivalry among competing sellers in the industry for buyer patronage. When the amount of competitors (sellers), as well as the quantity of goods and services they provide are large, the lesser their competitive strengths or advantage in the market because the customers have a large pool of finished goods and services to choose from and vice-versa.

Explicit costs are those costs incurred by a business that require an outlay of money as a result of operating a business.

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>

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
