Suppose that a sole proprietorship is earning total revenue of Rs 1,00,000 and is incurring explicit costs of 75,000. If the owner could work for another company for Rs 30,000 a year, would you conclude that the firm is incurring an economic loss or getting profit?

Answer»

Solution : ECONOMIC PROFIT = TR – TC (Explicit COST + Implicit cost)
= 1,00,000 – 175,000 + 30,000)
=-5000 (loss)
So the firm is INCURRING an economic loss.
