Answer: $100,000

Step-by-step explanation:

His accounting profit is his Revenue less his Explicit Costs. Explicit costs are those costs that have an actual payment/ physical cash attached to them.

Accounting Profit = Revenue - Explicit Costs

= 230,000 - ( 10,000 + 100,000 + 20,000)

= 230,000 - 130,000

= $100,000
