Answer 1

Answer: $50,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following ;

Total Revenue = $500,000

Labor cost = $200,000

Economic Depreciation = $50,000

Normal profit = $75,000

Interest paid to bank = $25,000

Other cost of production = $100,000

Economic profit = (Total revenue - labor cost - economic Depreciation - normal profit - interest paid to bank - other production cost))

Economic profit =$ (500,000 - 200,000 - 50,000 - 75,000 - 25,000 - 100,000)

Economic profit = $50,000
