The firm's accounting profit is the sales revenue minus all costs, which in this case is $50,000, calculated by subtracting the costs for labor, capital, and materials from the $1 million sales revenue.
To calculate the firm's accounting profit, we subtract all the costs from the sales revenue.
The firm had sales revenue of $1 million last year, and incurred expenses on labor ($600,000), capital ($150,000), and materials ($200,000).
Accounting Profit = Sales Revenue - Total Costs
Accounting Profit = $1,000,000 - ($600,000 + $150,000 + $200,000)
Accounting Profit = $1,000,000 - $950,000
Accounting Profit = $50,000
Therefore, the firm's accounting profit last year was $50,000.
