Question

Explicit Costs = Worker wages + pets and supplies to sell + annual rent

Explicit Costs = 92,000 = 35,000 + 42,000 + 15,000

Implicit Costs = Foregone interest income + foregone wages + foregone entrep. Income

Implicit Costs = 47,000 = 7,000 + 32,000 + 8,000

Accounting Profit = Total Revenue – Total Explicit Costs

Accounting Profit = 45,000 = 137,000 – 92,000

Economic Profit = Total Revenue – (Total Explicit Cost + Total Implicit Cost)

Economic Profit (Loss) = (2,000) = 137,000 – (92,000 + 47,000)

With the information above, if this business operates in either a purely competitive or monopolistically competitive market, where firms can easily enter and exit the market, what would we expect to occur in the market and to this business in the long run.
