Daniel worked at a bank with monthly salary of $2,500. He decided to quit his job and open a hotdog shop. He sells 2,000 hotdogs every month and the price of each hotdog is $3 given from the perfectly competitive market. For each month, he pays $2,200 for rent, and $1,600 for variable cost. How much accounting profit does Daniel make every month? How much economic profit does Daniel make every month?
Accounting profit = Revenue - explicit costs
Explicit cost = Rent + variable costs
Explicit cost = $ 2200 + $ 1600
Explicit cost = $ 3800
Revenue =$ 3 * 2000
Revenue = $ 6000
Accounting profit = $ 6000 - $ 3800
Accounting profit = $ 2200
---------------------------------------------------------------
Economic profit = Revenue - explicit costs - implicit costs
Implicit cost = Opportunity cost
Implicit cost = $ 2500
Economic profit = $6000 - $ 3800 - $ 2500
Economic profit = - $ 300
