Answer:

Economic profit= $8,000

Accounting profit= $37,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Costs:

Helper= $10,500 per year

Rent= $4,500

Materials= $19,000

Total= 34,000

Pottery Revenue= $71,000

Alternative= 5,000 + 21,000 + 3,000= $29,000

The difference between the economic profit and accounting profit is that the first one includes the opportunity cost of an alternative income.

Economic profit= 71,000 - 34,000 - 29,000= $8,000

Accounting profit= 71,000 - 34,000= $37,000
