    C. $199,000

    Explanation:

    Accounting profits: only consider the explicit cost It ignores the opportunity cost. We will only use the sales revenue an the cost of the PlayDo figures.

    sales revenue 200,000

    COGS (1,000)

    Accounting Profit 199,000

    While the economic profit, considers the cost of the best alternative.

    The factory could be lease for 100,000

    and he could be working on a Cafeteria for 99,000

    the total opportunity cost would be 199,000

    Accounting profit - opportunity cost = economic profit

    199,000 - 199,000 = 0

    The economic profit will be 0
