Economic profit is calculated as:

Economic profit = Total Revenues – Total Cost

Total cost both includes explicit and implicit cost. In this case, the explicit cost is $8,000 while the implicit cost is $64,000. Explicit cost is a direct payment made to run the business while implicit cost is the opportunity as accountant that is lost. Therefore,

Economic profit = $150,000 – ($8,000 + $64,000)

Economic profit = $78,000
