Respuesta :

Answer:

Accounting profit= $75,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

She invests her savings of $20,000. She then spends $20,000 renting office equipment, hires two students at $30,000/student a year, rents office space for $15,000, and has other variable expenses of $50,000. At the end of the year, her revenues are $240,000.

The accounting profit does not take into account the opportunity cost of other investments/earnings.

Total costs= 20,000 + 20,000 + 60,000 + 15,000 + 50,000= $165,000

Revenues= 240,000

Accounting profit= 240,000 - 165,000= $75,000
