Answer 1

Answer:

A. 27,000

B. 77,000

Explanation:

What is Reggie's accounting profit?

REVENUE - EXPENSES AND DEPRECIATION

90000-18000-6000-3000=63000

What is Reggie's economic profit?

REVENUE - EXPENSES AND DEPRECIATION - IMPLICIT COSTS

90000-18000-60000-3000-76000 = -13000

1) accounting profit = TR - explicit cost

= 90,000 - 63,000

= 27,000,

2) economic profit = TR - economic cost

= 90,000-(13,000)

= 77,000
