    The economic profit=-$3,000, there is incentive to exit market

    Explanation:

    The economic profit can be defined as the difference between the revenue from sales and the total cost including opportunity cost. This can be expressed as;

    P=R - (C+O)

    where;

    P=economic profit

    R=total revenue

    C=total input costs

    O=opportunity cost

    In our case;

    R=$6,500

    C = (2,100+3,100+100) = $5,300

    O=$3,200

    replacing;

    P=6,500 - (5,300+3,200)

    P=6,500-8,500=-3,000

    The economic profit=-$3,000, there is incentive to exit market
