Question

Assume you gave up a $60,000 per year job at an accounting firm to start your own tax preparation business. To simplify, assume your tax personal obligations are the same whether you run your own firm or work for another firm. If your revenue during the first year of business is $75,000, and you incurred $5,000 in expenses for equipment and supplies, how much is your accounting profit

Answer 1

Answer:

Accounting profit= $70,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

If your revenue during the first year of business is $75,000, and you incurred $5,000 in expenses for equipment and supplies, how much is your accounting profit

The accounting profit does not include the opportunity cost of leaving the accounting job. In this case, the accounting profit is:

Accounting profit= revenue - costs

Accounting profit= 75,000 - 5,000

Accounting profit= $70,000
