    Implicit Cost Explicit Cost The wholesale cost for the pianos that Darnell pays the manufacturer $452,000 The salary Darnell could earn if he worked as an accountant $48,000 The wages and utility bills that Darnell pays $301,000 The rental income Darnell could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom $38,000 B. Profit ($) Accounting Profit 842,000 - 452,000 - 301,000 = 89,000 Economic Profit 842,000 - 452,000 - 301,000 - 48,000 - 38,000 = 3,000 C. Economic Profit as an accountant = 48,000 + 38,000 - 89,000 = - $3,000. Thus, Darnell should stay in the Piano business to maximize the Economic Profit.
