Answer:

The answer is: $115,000

Explanation:

Economic profit can be determined by the following formula:

economic profit = Revenues - (Explicit Costs + Implicit Costs)

where:

  • revenues = $175,000
  • explicit costs = $50,000
  • implicit costs = 10% of $100,000 = $10,000

Economic profit = $175,000 - ($50,000 + $10,000) = $175,000 - $60,000

Economic profit = $115,000
