Expert Solution
Step 1

Answer:

Given,

Total revenue from sales = $12,000

Total explicit cost = Cost of supplies + Payment to employees

Total explicit cost = 3000 + 4000 = $7,000

Accounting profit = Total revenue - Total explicit cost

Accounting profit = 12,000 - 7,000

Accounting profit = $5,000
