So let's think about what an economic profit is.
00:04
This is basically just a definitional question.
00:07
The base for economic profits is accounting profits, but then we subtract off any opportunity costs or what someone might call implicit costs, right? accounting profits do not include opportunity costs or implicit costs, but economic profits.
00:30
Profits do economic profits are a broader more inclusive definition of profits than accounting profits so let's go through these right the first one asserts that econ profits do not or ignore implicit costs this is wrong right it's economic profits which include implicit costs it's that don't.
01:02
So b, economic profits include, right, implicit costs.
01:10
This has got to be right.
01:12
You can tell just by looking at the answer that a and b are the only reasonable choices, right? either they do or they don't.
01:18
It can't be, so, right, c and d have to be wrong...
