Peggy-Sue's cookies are the best in the world, or so I hear. She has been offered a job by Cookie Monster, Inc., to come to work at $125,000 per year. Currently, she is producing her own cookies, and she has revenues of $260,000 per year. Her costs are $40,000 for labor, $10,000 for rent, $35,000 for ingredients, and $5,000 for utilities. She has $100,000 of her own money invested in the operation, which, if she leaves, can be sold for $400,000 that she can invest at 1 percent per year.

a. Calculate her accounting and economic profits.

b. Advise her as to what she should do.

    accounting profit 170,000

    economic profit 41,000

    I would advise her to continue with their venture as it yields a better gain rather than beingan employee and invest their money elsewhere.

    Explanation:

    accounting profit:

    revenues 260,000

    cost 40,000

    rent 10,000

    ingredients 35,000

    utilities 5,000

    Total explicit cost (90,000)

    Accounting profit 170,000

    The economic profit will take into consideraring their opportunity cost of the factors

    wages opportunity cost: (125,000)

    capital opportunity cost: 400,000 x 1% = (4,000)

    Net economic gain 41,000
