Answer:
b. −1,002.5
Step-by-step explanation:
economic profit = accounting profit - opportunity costs
- accounting profit = revenue - maintenance and insurance = $96,000 - $30,240 = $65,760
- opportunity costs = the lost salary as a computer programmer + money he could earn by selling the land lot and investing = $48,000 + ($395,000 x 4.75%) = $66,762.50
economic annual profit = $65,760 - $66,762.50 = -$1,002.50
