Answer:
(a) $35,000
(b) $8,000
Explanation:
(a) Accounting profit:
= Total revenue - Explicit cost
= $75,000 - (wages + Annual rent + Material cost)
= $75,000 - ($13,000 + $5,500 + $21,500)
= $75,000 - $40,000
= $35,000
(b) Economic Profit:
= Total revenue - Explicit costs - Implicit costs
= $75,000 - (wages + Annual rent + Material cost) - (Income from investment + Earnings as a potter + Worth of entrepreneurial talents)
= $75,000 - ($13,000 + $5,500 + $21,500) - ($5,500 + $19,000 + $2,500)
= $75,000 - $40,000 - $27,000
= $8,000
