Answer to Problem 1CQQ

Option ‘a’ is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Option (a):

When Xavier spend $10 for ingredients and sell $60 worth of lemonade, then the accounting profit will be (Total revenueTotal explicit cost) (total revenue – total explicit cost) $50($60$10). Economic profit is (Total revenue(Implicit cost +Explicit cost)) $10 ($60($50+$10)) . Therefore, the value of accounting profit is $50 and the economic profit is $10.

Option (b):

Xavier accounting profit is not $90, because an accounting profit is the total revenue minus the total explicit cost. Economic profit is not $50, because economic profit is total revenue minus implicit and explicit cost. Thus, option ‘b’ is incorrect.

Option (c):

When Xavier spends $10 for ingredients and sells $60 worth of lemonade, Xavier accounting profit will not be $10, because an accounting profit is the total revenue minus the total explicit cost. Economic profit is not $50, because economic profit is the total revenue minus implicit and explicit cost. Thus, option ‘c’ is incorrect.

Option (d):

When Xavier spend $10 for ingredients and sell $60 worth of lemonade, then the accounting profit will be (total revenue – total explicit cost) $50($60$10) . But the economic profit is not $90, because the economic profit is (Total revenue(Implicit cost +Explicit cost)) . Thus, option ‘d’ is incorrect.
