1. Suppose your current job pays you $300,000 a year. However, you are considering starting your own company. Based upon your research, you estimate your first year total revenue to be $7,500,000. There are however several costs of running the company during this first year, such as the cost of materials which will equal $2,750,000, employees who will receive in total $1,500,000, utilities which will cost $1,200,000, and rent that will be paid to the landlord that equals $1,800,000. Based on this information, solve for both your accounting profit and economic profit during this first year. Also, based upon these profit values, state whether you are better off starting this company or staying in your current job.
