Accounting versus Economic Profit
In a given year, a consulting firm has the following costs: $610,000 in wages and salaries paid to employees; $74,000 in rental payments for office space; and $23,000 for office supplies, advertising, and utilities. In addition, Clancy, the owner of the firm, works for the firm full-time (and is not paid a salary since he receives the firm's profits). If he did not work for the consulting firm, Clancy could earn $125,000 per year working as a consultant for another firm.
