Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Creamy Crisps accounting profit = Revenue - Explicit cost. That is ($ 400000)- ($ 25000 + $ 6000 + $110000 + $ 15000) = $ 244000.

Creamy Crisps economic profit = Total Revenue - (Explicit cost + Implicit Cost). that is ($ 400000) - ($ 25000 + $ 6000 + $110000 + $ 15000 + $ 40000 + $ 90000 + $ 6000) = $ 108000.

Implicit costs are the costs which do not come under accounting process. In the above example they are: Entrepreneur's paid salary in the business, the implicit value of entrepreneurial's talent in similar business activity and foregone interest by investing the money. Implicit cost = 40000 + 90000 + 6000 = $ 136000
