A firm had sales revenue of $\$ 1$ million last year. It spent $\$ 600,000$ on labor, $\$ 150,000$ on capital and $\$ 200,000$ on materials. What was the firm's accounting profit?1.Accounting profit = total revenues minus explicit costs = $1,000,000 – ($600,000 + $150,000 + $200,000) = $50,000.
A firm had sales revenue of $1.5 million last year. It spent $600,000 on labor, $150,000 on capital and $200,000 on materials. The firm’s founder didn’t take any salary last year. Before starting her own firm, she worked as a VP of marketing for a Fortune 500 company and made $250,000 a year. To start her business, she also sold her stock portfolio that was making 10% per year and was worth $1,000,000. What was the firm’s accounting profit? Economic profit? Is the firm’s owner better off economically than she was at her old job?
