Profit earned by a typical monopolistic firm in the long run and profits when the firm operates at minimum average cost
Concept Introduction:
Normal and Supernormal profit - An entrepreneur is a factor of production whose profit is his income. This incentive keeps him in business. It is an integral part of the cost structure of the firm and is aggregated with rent, wages, interest and other explicit expenses to define the cost of production. Any profit over and above this implicit cost paid as remuneration to the producer, is the supernormal profit.
