Respuesta :

For his first year of business, Bob’s accounting profit was $5,000 (5,000 = 80,000-67,000-4%*200,000), and his economic loss was $35,000 (-35,000 = 5,000 - 40,000) based on the information shown on the question above. The accounting profit is a recorded profit based on every business transaction occurring in a one-year period. The economic profit (loss) is a difference between a revenue and its opportunity cost.
