Answer:
$11,875; $1,575
Explanation:
Total cost of starting an own business is as follows:
= purchase office supplies + monthly electricity bill has increased
= $75 + $50
= $125 per month
Total revenue = $12,000 per month
Opportunity cost refers to the cost of forgone something in order to choose some other alternative.
Opportunity cost or Implicit costs:
= Earning from Job + Income from garage apartment
= $10,000 + $300
= $10,300
(a) Barney's average monthly accounting profits:
= Total revenue - Total cost
= $12,000 - $125
= $11,875
(b) Barney's average monthly economic profits:
= Accounting profits - Implicit cost or Opportunity cost
= $11,875 - $10,300
= $1,575
