Answer:

its accounting:_______

 

b. profits were $200,000 and its economic losses were $350,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Units sold during the period = 100,000 units

Selling price per unit = $52

Revenue for the period = $5,200,000 ($52 * 100,000)

Explicit costs =                     5,000,000

Accounting profits =            $200,000

Less Implicit costs                -550,000

Economic profits =             ($350,000)

b) Accounting profits do not include implicit costs (opportunity costs).  Economic profits, on the other hand, include both explicit and implicit costs.  This makes economic profits to be broader and more inclusive than accounting profits.
