Economic profit = $-100

Explanation:

given data

sells = 100 bottles

selling cost = $10 each

labels = $700

make the ketchup = 20 hours

paid = $20 per hour

to find out

accounting profit and economic profit

solution

we get here Accounting profit that is express as

Accounting profit = Total Revenue - Total cost ... 1

here Total revenue is = price * quantity

so Total revenue = 100 * $10

Total revenue = $1,000

so here put value in equation 1 we get

Accounting profit = $1000 - $700

Accounting profit = $300

so here

we get now Economic profit that is

Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost or opportunity cost ... 2

here Implicit cost is

Implicit cost = $20 * 20

Implicit cost = $400

put value in equation 2 we get

Economic profit = $300 - $400

Economic profit = $-100
