The Wax Works' economic profit is - $100

Explanation:

Economic Profit : The economic profit is that profit which shows a difference between sales revenue, all types of cost such as explicit & implicit cost, and opportunity cost.

In mathematically,

Economic Profit = Selling cost - Total cost

where,

Selling cost = Selling Units * Price

= 400 * $6

= $2,400

And, total cost = Total cost Units * Price

= 400 * $6.25

= $2,500

Now, applying these values to the above equation.

So, economic profit = $2,400 - $2,500 = - $100

Hence, The Wax Works' economic profit is - $100
