Explanation / Answer

Total Accounting cost = Wages and salaries + Rental payments + Office supplies

= 550,000 + 71,000 + 26,000 = $ 647,000

Total Economic Cost = Accounting cost + Opportunity cost which person sacrifices

= 647,000 + 115,000 = $ 762,000

Total Revenue Accounting Profit Economic Profit 740,000 740,000 - 647,000 = 93,000 740,000 - 762,000 = - 22,000 790,000 790,0000 - 647,000 = 143,000 790,000 - 762,000 = 28,000 840,000 193,000 78,000 890,000 243,000 128,000
