    The answer is marginal revenue (MR) curve above $22.

    Explanation:

    Jim and Lisa Groomers will maximize its accounting profit when taking it to 0 its economic profits when marginal revenue = marginal costs.

    Economic profits are not the same as accounting profits because they include the opportunity costs of investing the money somewhere else. That is whythe long run firm is not able to make economic profits since as they exist, new competitors will enter the market. But in the case of the shoert run, the firms are able to make economic profit, but by doing so, they cannot maximize their accounting profit.

    Economic profit = account profit = Opportunity profit

    Opportunity cost are extra costs or benefitslost from choosing one activity or investment over another one.
