Accounting profit and the economic profit


During a year of operation, a firm collects $175,000 in revenue and spends $80,000 on raw materials, labor expenses, utilities and rent. The owners of the firm have provided $500,000 of their own money to the firm (and view that money as a loan to the firm) instead of investing the money and earning a 9 percent annual rate of return. (Questions adapted from Thomas & Maurice, Managerial Economics, 2008)
